I was looking at the recent contributors for the event and saw one of these nameless farms there.
Oh wow! Do you recall if it was in the Recent Contributors or Top Contributors section?Quote:

Must we thank the bot farmers for their part in helping to win us the 5 diamonds? :)
It was recent contributors. Top contributors would be funny though.Quote:

Good question. Should we thank them? LOL.
Hey, thanks for your work in this event, bots. We know you have other stuff going on. LOL.

See that's the point -- bots used to act like bots, and now they act like real players. When SC did their mass-ban a few months ago, they targeted players who looked like bots to the SC identification software. Now bots look like players.Quote:

Maybe ignorance is bliss because SC hasn't educated all players on how to identify and report bots.
Some have astounding figures.Quote:

I've been seeing these a lot too! Different level ranges too. This one was level 50. I bought 10 eggs for 50 coin and then looked to see if the farm needed help, saw it had no name, then boom up went 10 wheat for 5 coin in all slots, at an unbelievable pace. I didn't buy any more after that, but it had the characteristics of a bot farm (the weird crop growing patterns). It even had a gift for participating in the truck event waiting to be opened.
Yesterday I found a level 25 farm selling cheap wheat (10 for 1) in the DD.Quote:

No, I didn't buy the wheat or follow the suspicious farm.
Supercell, the bots are adapting.
