Are there ♥♥♥♥♥ers in Hay Day or not?

[fulafisken]

I've been thinking about this for some time, and i thougt I'd take it up on the forum to see other peoples thougts on the matter.

I sometimes see screenshots of farms with reallly, really big barns and with a lot of expansions/expensive material. Also in the global events, some farms seem to contibute insane ammounts.

Do you think they do it all by hard work, lots of supporting farms on other devices, or just by buying lots and lots of diamonds? Or is the explanation that they are ♥♥♥♥ing in diamonds in the game somehow? I've seen a lot of shady tools that are supposed to give you unlimited ammounts of diamonds and coins. Do they really work, or is it just a scam? I've of course never tried them for myself, and I realise that making this thread may lead to increased publicity for the ♥♥♥♥♥ing tools, but on the other hand i feel that this is (or might be) a serous issue that needs to be discussed. I hope, of course, that there are no ♥♥♥♥♥ing and everybody is just happily farming.

What is Supercells view on this, and what do you do to prevent ♥♥♥♥♥ing? Are you checking the fastet rising farms to see any suspicious behaviour? How sure are you that all diamonds in the game are legit? I guess it would be quite easy to track farms to look for massive ♥♥♥♥♥ing, i.e if a farm goes from level 1 to 100 in a very very short time, or acquires a lot of diamonds in a very short time without purchasing them.

1) there are h@cks on every game, its just matter of making a patch
2) according to the rule 6, we shouldn't talk about this

I realise there is a rule against discussing how to h ack/c heat, but i think this thread would be more about discussing wether it's a big problem or not. If the moderators think it breaks the rules i apoligise. I'm just curious to see how big of an effort supercell puts in to preventing unjust playing, since i think it would be in everybodys interest to keep the game fair.

We shouldn't talk about how to exploit the game and promote 3rd party app on forum.

However, there are genuine explanations for top farm during global event: they spend diamonds on hiring Tom, speeding up boat... and use their trading network (lots of FB group with thousands members).

Tools providing unlimited diamonds/coins are scam, what they want is your GC/FB /G+ credentials or trick you to visit their site and download a malware/spyware onto your computer.

Supercell takes action against suspicious farm reported (with proof). Recently, they banned multiple accounts violating the Terms of Service

I don't think it's a problem, even if it is happening.

This game is not like CoC. We aren't competing against each other. If someone has a huge barn and a ton of decorations, and didn't come by them honestly...so what? It doesn't affect you. It's not like they can use their ill-gotten gains to raid your farm and steal all your stuff, like in some other games.

[Velcro]

It's possible, but I'm not really bothered as it doesn't affect me. I've seen the mad farms up the top of the leaderboards during boat events, with new boats coming in and out every minute, and I just think "why???" Go for a walk, get a constructive hobby, volunteer for a charity, read a good book...

If they're spending diamonds though then brilliant, because they more they spend with Supercell then the more Supercell can invest and the better it is for me.

Go loonies! Spend all your cash on a farming game! Do it!

I don't know if there are players who "♥♥♥♥♥" but I agree with Janilee and Velcro - whats the problem if people find some way to level up quickly or buy lots of decorations there is no reward for doing so and it doesn't affect anybody else's farm or the way anyone else plays.

In the same vein while the so called "autobot" farms may be in contravention of Supercell's ToS they have no impact on the way anyone plays the game - if you choose to follow those farms or buy materials from them with real money that is a matter for you it doesn't mean that other people get less building / expansion materials and therefore has no impact on anyone else.

[Tiggerr129]

While envy might make us feel annoyed with people who seem to have more than their fair share of ill gotten booty, their game play or methods really don't affect the rest of us. There are no winners or losers in this game and everything you attain, you get by doing your own work. Yes thee are lots of players who help newer players by gifting them expansion materials or even coins, but many many players prefer to do the work themselves. There is a certain pride in obtaining your rewards yourself in a game like this. People who want fast results aren't generally in it for the long haul and tend to have shorter attention spans. And that's OK too, because it doesn't hurt my enjoyment of the game.

So I suggest you ignore these farms unless you plan on using them as an object lesson against cheåting and just enjoy your game.
