Many other posters support some kind of restart for cheaters, and I think that this is the right first step. Although many of these players have been around for a long time, and worked hard to build their decks up to what they are, we can no longer attribute their powerful decks solely to hard work. There should be a penalty for cheating, which in my opinion should include a chance to prove themselves to be great players by building their decks back up again fairly.

Still, many of these players doubtless paid large sums of money to obtain some of their cards, and I would be loathe to take away something for which they had paid. Hmmm. Regardless, count me among the number who support Mobage enforcing stronger penalties for players caught cheating.

I can't say whether I was directly impacted by cheating-induced tier displacement, but I know that in a couple of recent events, I was discouraged from pushing to a higher tier because of what I perceived to be fierce competition. We can't know who might have finished higher, because the decision to push or not is often made well before the final couple of hours.
