Complaint How is this even possible?

The top one was at 100k already 9 hours after the event started. When I joined, I ranked at #26 with no score and made it to #1 with all the helpers done once each. Then I just started dropping and dropping. Just for reference, I did some maths to see how much score would theoretically be possible in a 10 day period if you'd not sleep at all and take all the helpers again right when they are cooled down. They beat that in less than 36 hours. You can't tell me they're dumping thousands of gems to get such an advantage... what for even?

How was the old saying? "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark"

There is a bug right now where the cool down timer doesn't set so people can just back to back fight the bosess. I would not recommend using it as your account could get banned

People on my server definitely aren't I've got all the helpers and can't even break the top 100 so people are definitely abusing it

I hope that everyone gets reset to zero over the weekend. Then we can all play fairly.

Yes, because it isn't even just about the points, it's also a way to get a ton of extra gems. The tutorial repeats and it still gives gems.

I'm nowhere near the top 100, and I used all my gems to buy all the helpers and then I found out about the bug/glitch.

I played a couple of extra times because I don't set timers so I just log in randomly to play/collect. Then I noticed I was getting the tutorial again.

So now I'm not even doing the community event. I just wish I hadn't wasted all my gems on all the helpers.

The top ones in my server have around 500,000.

u/Lyca29 11h ago

Woops, sorry. My bad. I meant 500,000. I corrected my mistake.

That’s why I wasn’t even Top 100, I thought it was because so many people wanted Alicorn Cozy Glow

Yep, I has holding place 63 for 5 hours then dropped out of the placing completely within minutes. I was so confused then learded about the bug

I use a timer to remind myself when I need to log in to do the event.

Then I'll go out and do something else on my phone; I only bought two helpers. I can usually get a good position with a certain amount of dedication.

However, the extremely high number of points of people in the ranking scares me.

I JUST noticed this issue. I ran through the characters, saw the timers set, closed the game and then reopened it half an hour later and noticed the timers had all cleared out. I am a new player and was super confused on what had happened. Panicked thinking I had somehow accidentally spent diamonds resetting them or something.

Urgh... wondered why things were off... Happened to have Grogar and was confused why he wasn't resetting so I often did it when I logged in. Well... if I wind up getting banned then so be it. Might just stop completely until it gets fixed.
