What issue Crystal Conflict is having now is exactly same as Feast isnt it?

Casual Crystal Conflict seems really popular right now. I was just playing it last night for two hours and there were like 50 other people queueing up as a small community. I think the game mode is really fun to play and plays a lot better for beginners than Feast did.

OP does the same every few months

Called everyone in top100 a cheater and rmt etc. last time, if that gives you a perspective how he thinks or why this could be even some bait troll post again. Collectionists sound more toxic than pvp players to me lol

I'm considering making another thread soon with video evidence. Also that's just not fair to my argument. I do not and never have claimed every body in the top 100 is cheating because that's silly and ridiculous. There's no big illuminati cheating conspiracy it's just a few bad apples that spoil the bunch.

there was a couple of people with speed hacks/clipping through walls and sniping people from acrossed the map with spells lol if i had a way to record id have done so.
however i will admit that it does not happen as much to me since they're probably already crystal ranked lol

You seem have changed a little then from this quote last time.

So very many of the top players are breaking the T.O.S. it's almost easy to think every person listed in the top 100 is also.

Anyway, there was a time where I would have agreed with changes to the exclusive reward structure. That time has passed. This has become a casual PvP mode which is less competetive than Mahjong, rewarding people with tournament gold medals for simple existing and paying sub feels very ridiciulous.

I stand by both statements because they are not mutually exclusive. It's easy to think the top 100 are all breaking the rules because so many people do it they cast shadows on the good name of others. Honestly I'm surprised people think cheating in a PvP game won't get them called out. Check out this video on cheating in PvP games! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5LfGcDB7Ek
It's a good take on a perspective of the problem.


I think you should use any tournament legal means to win. If you participate in some strange tournament where all players are allowed to use a map hack, then go for it. You’re playing a rather weird, nonstandard version of the game, though, which defeats the whole purpose of shedding extra rules so as to play the same game as everyone else.

Words from the community about this
"In speed running, they have a similar phenomenon, described as, "they don't cheat to get a faster time, they cheat to get a time faster". Ie, they're good enough to get the best results, but they take a shortcut to get them faster and justify it as "well I didn't need to, this just sped up what would have happened anyway" "

"it's usually better players that has the incentive to cheat for success. Mentally, they feel like the game 'owes' them success, that they 'deserve' what they will get out of when they cheat because they do grind their skill level to a substantial level; skill-wise, they also know way more then enough about their game to cheat and cover their tracks so that it's very hard to find out that they cheat even if they do cheat."

"The most important things is when high skill players cheat they can hide their cheating a lot better than beginners, because they already know what's going on and what can they do to make it look like they are not cheating."

"Many exposed cheater in speed run communities are really good runners, but they are frustrated with something like RNG or consistency so they cheat."

"All the players are doing it very discreetly. They know how to play, but they're performing a bit worse then normal so it doesn’t even look like a throw just a normal bad match. That part of the issue why it took so long to notice. Much like how the example of the speed runner who cheat has been used here. They did it to get the small competitor edge they need to secure the line basically and to be honest it happen on a lot of ranked games in high brackets."


If you want to get into how the exclusive rewards are RMT'd, and have a long history of it, I'm happy to. But other people might get mad at you for goading me into talking about this more. It's not a good look when tons of people know y'know?
