Solitaire collection events cheating

Hi,

 I play the game honestly and up until say, 4 hours before the finish, I am on the leader board, sometimes high sometimes 20-30ish.

Then when the game has finished and I view the results I am 137000th. This all happens in the last few hours, when the top 100 have all got similar times.

Some have argued that these people have their brains wired in a different way, I do not believe it, they are cheating, thats the way their brain works, thinking that they have achieved something.

The point is though, they are ruining it for a lot of people.

I have only recently seen this cheating phenomenon, as it did not appear to happen a year back. I have had 1 second and 1 third plus 20 top tens, but for the last period I cannot even get in the top 100.

Shame that a few are spoiling it.

Now that Klondike Adventure is over, I see that almost 400,000 played. I finished at 16,587. JoanPesh remained at #1. PaltryAmoeba got pushed down to 6th, though 3,4,5 were all Acemechanic variations. These variations are telling. No one plays multiple times unless they are cheating. To play more than once under a different name is cheating even if you don't write down the answers. At the very least they are writing down the answers so they can go extra fast without having to figure anything out...just move the cards.

Okay...people are cheating...big deal if there is no money or other awards. I guess I don't understand why they bother. Once...okay, just to prove you could do it, but over and over again?  I am curious about their techniques. Do they move the cards or have Bots do it for them?

Hi,

The shame of it all is that Microsoft does nothing about it.

If I had ownership of a game that I had spent a lot of money on, I would be very upset if it was not played properly.

As I have stated elsewhere, I just play to keep my mind active, which is a darn sight more than the cheats are doing.

cheers

Bots.  A person pays for the download, set it up, turn it on during a game letting it know the game being played and let it go to town.  I spoke to a person who owns a place called badgewinners and she said that although they tell people to not place the bot on that highest fastest setting, the people purchasing really believe that those of us out here think those people are truly that fast.  

She said if it were xbox you could friend and message the person.  Imagine sending "we watched you cheat with your bot" notices from all of us? lol...
