    Angry Anti ghosting

    Hello!!

    My clan and I have had just 2 wars (yes new clan) and well both have been against chinese people...

    Both wars are ghosting attacks, (the second one has just started and they ghost all their attacks!!).

    This is unfair, I have images...

    I cant upload them here don't know why, google chrome doesnt lets me.

    I would suggest that a "cookie" is set up as soon as they click the attack button so they can't ghost anymore.

    So let me get this straight, the clans are just raiding, putting down a troop, and then surrendering? Although that may be cheap, why is that bad? I mean, you win a war, and get free loot.

    Seanster, you don't know what we're talking about. Lucky you that you haven't had a clan exploit this glitch against you.

    We all know What it is.

    We cannot prove that anyone c.heated. They might be genuine disconnects.

    Besides SC patched it so that you can only ghost for 20 seconds.

    It is easy to prove and it still happens (at least as of a couple weeks ago anyway). Two of our clan wars I have watched this happen with several of their players. Works like this . . .

    1) You see player XXX attack base YYY.
    2) The battle ends, but no stars are issued.
    3) Player XXX attacks the same base again.
    4) The battle ends but no stars are issued . . . again.
    5) Repeat 3-4 for about 15 minutes until base YYY is 3 starred.

    Yes, it happens. Yes it can be proven. No, that is not legitimate disconnects. This is by far the biggest problem with the game currently. Fortunately it is not incredibly wide spread (yet) but it is common enough to impact most of the community. It compromises the integrity of the game on every level and I am sure SC realizes it. Personally, I would like to see accounts that are known to exploit this banned. At the very least suspended for a lengthy period of time. Let their bases sit there with filled up collectors for a while so we can all farm off of them legitimately.

    I must say I once had the idea that this happenend to me and I cold not understand what was happening, but when I investigated my instance it turned out I was just fighting a clan that happened to have multiple members with the same screen name and they all four just use their two attacks, in my log however it looked as if I had bases being attacked four times by the same player.

    Iīm not sure if there is such an exploit available.
    Just quoted from SC website: Many of us had been big fans of games like World of Warcraft, which most people play for years, not just weeks or months. Our dream was to create game services with longevity like that. And we wanted to create them for the widest group of people possible. They would be games that almost everyone could get into.
    We believed (authorīs note: past sentense) in the power of simple, fun game play.

    Then you haven't researched the issue very thoroughly.

    It exists, and it's making Clan Wars less and less fun for me and my clan.

    It may be very likely, but you cannot really say anything without SOLID PROOF.

    They might be having weak/bad connection, and their just good players so they get 2/3 stars!


    Anyway, ghosting is known to a very few clans - and is heavily looked down upon many clans.

    They also fixed ghosting a lot you know. They can only ghost for 20 seconds now.

    But I know, the are ruining the game for others.

    Not from what we're seeing (swords clash for much longer than 20 seconds with no result at the end). Also, one can learn a lot in 20 seconds, especially when you do it 15 times.

    I won't go so far as to say it has ruined the game for me, but it has made Clan Wars a frustrating experience more than a purely enjoyable one. A few of our members are advocating for us to take up ghosting to level the playing field, but most of us agree it makes the whole thing pointless and we should just stop participating or lose with honor.
