feature REQ: prevent chaeting with xmod

How everybody know exists some chaeting tools like xmod. With features like auto search for opponent with selected resources amount, sandboxed attacks, always online. I believe that developer work hard trying prevent using xmod, but xmod developers work hard to keep chaeting tools working. Why I posting this to feature request? Because my idea require change some features in game, to make chaeting very hard.
Sandboxed attacks. This very annoying in wars, when player can attacks your village in sandbox, select best strategy and then attack in real war. I don't know how exactly works xmod in internal, but it seems like it simple mock server api. And supercell servers don't know anything about attack. This can be prevented by changing war maps preview. insteed to show actual map, show simple map image, And actual map don't send to game before attacking. This idea require to change how attacks starts to, need to remove chance to end attach after pressing attack button. I offer send actual map to game after player press attack button, then supercell servers know that attack began. It better to play with some disadvantages, but know that war is fair.
Always online. There I think can help simple old good captcha. If user is online two hours in row, simple ask to enter captcha.

Put this on the bug and problems forum not here

Captcha is good, but robots can ask HUMANS to fill in captchas for money or use an OCR to get through. reCaptcha would be nice.

Sandboxed attacks do stink. They are very unfair for clan wars especially.
Supercell should find a way to prevent these mods from working.
Nice suggestions you have there!
But, if there is just an image of the village shown in the war map, then how would we know which level of a particular building is present on that village!? :P

Building level you can see from appearance, a little more problems with attacking range, but still you can guess from expierence. But it will be fair, because for everyone it will be same.

I don't know how this tool works, but I suspect it hijacks the connection between the server and the client, tampering with some packets and dropping others.

Fixing this is probably going to mean adding a signature to data from the server which is verified at the client side, possibly combined with a more complex heartbeat to verify that the connection is really going back to a SuperCell server.

Not trivial when you've got to run inside a mobile phone.

I m so tired of loosing war bcoz of ♥♥♥♥, thinking of playing other games if this unfair adavntage cant b rectify.

its funny because just a few days ago i joined there facebook page to trash talk them. i find it unfair as well when i get attacked because magically when they hog me they avoid my bombs. this ha happend a few times when i have gotten hogged. but then something nice happened yesterday. we had a update while at war. and i saw everyone that using that program complaining in the post because it was not working after the update. now what happend here and this how i notice that clan we was facing was using it. both times i got attacked . they press attack and did not drop troop for like 10 seconds. this is due to the new feature they added where you gotta make sure to press attack agian before attacking. so thee sandbox attack was not working.

also i already seen there trying to fix the problem and bring back that program. so supercell if your reading this plz stop that. its unfare for the once that play the game legit.

I think it's up again because my friend who is using it told me that his is working after he update it. I went to the download site and they have comments that it is up again.

Sucks cos I hate this. My clan doesn't use it but we always come up against clans that do, especially those from china.

And is there an official stance from supercell on mods/whatever (like x mod) , and others (don't know weither or not there are others)
