The top 100 in solitaire events have to be cheating as it is a physical impossibility to even click through the cards in 20 + games in the times they are achieving.

     Of course there is stilll cheating even though there is nothing to win!

    <snip>

    People who regularly beat the Events in under 1 hour can be grouped together, and so on. How hard would that be?!

    As said before, it is not cheating if there are no rules to cheat.

    Not only hard, but impossible. How to draw the line, what score is "cheating" and what is a pure genius? Why 30 min? But you can do that grouping yourself. As I said before, there is a "Friends" Leaderboard where you can add all those that you know or believe are not cheating, like some people from this thread. That way you can both have a reference of your personal liking and a bizarre score at the Top100 Leaderboard. So Micrososft already solved it, we just have to learn how to make the best of what we have.

    Another thing is that I am curious to see how would the Top100 players score if every now and then they play without using tricks.

    I would also like to know the best times of the non-cheating players. But how can I tell who they are? One option is to have a place, like the above mentioned Facebook group, where gentlemen would declare themselves as non-cheating. That place may attract top players, so there we may form a list of skillful non-cheating players.

    I'ts not a question of cheating because there is nothing to win, you only get the bracelets for achievements within your group and not for being in the top hundred. To understand what's going on here you should make a list of the top twenty and their times over the past two or three months, also visite the FaceBook Site for Microsoft Solitair Collection because there you will find the answer.

     Of course there is stilll cheating even though there is nothing to win! People like to see their name in the top 10 or whatever their goal is. If it wasn't a big deal people wouldn't CHEAT and make bots to get ridiculously good times! If there is ANY ranking in a game, then using bots or multiple accounts is CHEATING. And it can take away from the fun for SOME people, while others just don't mind at all. BOTH reactions are fine, and I believe that microsoft could absolutely show SOME interest in resolving this problem by grouping players together by skill level. People who regularly score under 30 minutes for 30 games should be in groups together and away from other players. People who regularly beat the Events in under 1 hour can be grouped together, and so on. How hard would that be?!

    I also forwarded your response to them for further confirmation that it is an issue.

    I have reported this 'backing out' issue several times to technical support.  Here is their response: "I've talked with the team here and this is something that comes up a lot. I am asking them to provide me with some more detailed information on possible outcomes to this issue, though from what I am told they believe that it should not add time, and if it is that is something they will continue to investigate."

    My question was more out of curiosity. Just wondered what was going on :)
