As of the last few weeks, 100% free player here (see other rant).

Having been involved in cheat/ban scenarios before, the trouble lies in the question - how can you tell with complete certainty that a player has cheated. The last thing you want is a shitstorm whereby a number of high ranking players are banned because it fit the criteria, but was not necessarily the case.

Do you know if there is a way to tell how these cheaters are cheating? If all data is stored on the Mobage/Dena servers, how can they gain access to this? - if the cheating is being done as a result of a security flaw in the Mobage/Dena servers, there should be something done to fix it ASAP and compensation made to those that spent money during the event that couldn't win as a result of the security issue.

As someone else said, whats to stop them from just creating a new account and cheating all over again? Maybe they'll cheat a little more cautiously to avoid detection.

I think rather than "omg ban", an investigation should be made into how cheating is possible and rectify it at the server end. Possible this is what tonights server maintenance is for anyway - and if thats the case, Mobage should be issuing compensation to those that paid during the event and suffered as a result. Its not like it costs Mobage anything to credit someones account with mobacoin.
