Hey Pinnacle,
Firstly, sorry for waking you from your slumber. I wonder if I was able to do the same to EA? Somehow I doubt it unfortunately.
Secondly, I would like to address your "economics dictates it" comment.
The real disgrace here is that economics will not dictate a change in EA's attitude towards this problem whilst they continue to fraudulently (well, perhaps not fraudulently but certainly by mis-representation) continue to sell war upgrades per Jackie's example above. In-game purchases and advertising revenue continue to flow into EA's coffers from Simcity. There are still thousands and thousands of players who can potentially buy these upgrades. EA have not warned the playing community directly that the war game is fundamentally compromised. If they had any conscience they would pull the war game immediately until it's fixed. But they haven't. This is wrong. Very wrong. Mai is just the mod of this forum, he does his job well - he's quick to edit my "difficult to read characters" (haha) and edit my already obscured swearing on another thread (even more haha), but he's not, obviously, an EA employee who can make any changes to the game or personally deal with cheaters, so I'm afraid any mollifying from him, is just that. EA have to actually start showing that they are addressing the problem. The words of a forum mod, sorry Mai, are not evidence of any real action.
