I sent something to Mobage (see below). I offer a couple options that I think are reasonable, and I am open to negotiation as always.

Dear Mobage,

'''Thank you for having the transparency and courage to admit to an exploit on your blog, I am thankful Mobage has been upfront about this and it gives me confidence that Mobage is constantly improving the game. '''



'''However, the cheating does call into question the validity of the results of past events. For instance, during The Colossus War episode, I spent over 80 hours and over 800 battle cubes for what was ultimately a narrowly failed attempt at making Top 100 in the episode for the Metroplex reward card. (see attached screenshot showing my final ranking of #105 in that event). While I was naturally very disappointed that my efforts and expenses were wasted, I did not complain at the time, as I thought the competition was fair. Now, however, I think that if these players had not cheated, I may well have gotten the top reward. '''

'''

'''

'''I request that Mobage look into making fair reparations to players who were at the margins of making the top tier rewards, for fairness. As I mentioned, we spent a lot of resources - several hundreds of battle cubes and much money in the Space Bridge - only to be edged out by cheaters. In my opinion, and this can be discussed, a fair compensation would be an R5 card+weapon set of the player's choice, plus a few battle cubes. This is fair, considering that the players in the marginal (around #101-110) positions would have gotten the top R5 reward card set anyway, had these cheaters not existed. '''

'''

'''

'''Alternatively, since it is arguably the cheaters' fault rather than Mobage's that this happened, Mobage could reveal the identities of the cheaters to any injured players such as myself, so that we can take appropriate actions, legal or otherwise, against them, to recover our damages suffered. '''

'''

'''

'''Separately, I would suggest these cheating accounts be banned permanently, rather than suspended for only a week. I am aware a previous player, Itsme5712, was banned for violating the Mobage TOS. These players did so too. Both violations are, in my opinion, equal in severity and ought to receive the same punishment. '''

'''Thank you. '''
