Throughout the extensive history of the game, we have explored various methods to combat cheating. However, none of them seem to be perfect. Each approach has its pros and cons.
While combating cheating is essential, it consumes a significant amount of time and significantly reduces our ability to improve the game.

Recently, we have encountered quite a few unpleasant situations as well (such as a case during the Easter holidays and a cheating investigation that resulted in the closure of 16 teams). These situations are certainly not how we want to spend our weekends and holidays. 
Additionally, we have received more suspicions of cheating reports from the community that require investigation. This indicates that more "fun time" is waiting ahead. We advise those who have access to a few teams to close these teams immediately. In doing so, the penalty for rule violations will be less severe.

In order to reduce the number of cheating situations in the future, we will attempt to remove or restrict certain game features, especially for free users.

Upcoming changes for the next season:
1. Possibility to borrow a player will be limited to users with a bronze rank or those who have purchased game credits at least once. Over time, we plan to increase these restrictions, eventually making player borrowing available only to PREMIUM users.
2. The default trade level will be reduced by one (currently the plan is to reduce this only for NEW users).
3. Households where multiple users play from the same IP address will be required to have the PREMIUM package. Without PREMIUM, in case of any suspicious activity, we will skip the investigation and either close teams or disable their trading/borrowing features.

Long-term plans:
1. Completely rewrite the restricted market feature to eliminate the possibility of malicious bidding. When we have more details, we will share them with you.

We understand that many people may not like these changes, but we do not see any other options. We spend far too much time on matters that do not create any value for the game, meanwhile we need to develop updates that improve the game.

Thank you for your understanding. Cheating is not OK. In the end, the Fair Play always wins!

We've told you a ton of times, with these changes, they're killing the game. And the free users always end up getting it, and the premium users do whatever they want... that's where the problem lies, with the premium users.

Whenever they release a new rule, it's for the free users. They stop us from doing things, while the premium users do whatever they want. Don't look away. Honestly, it's getting tiring. -- 105 сез. 15 д.

They sell it as a free game for everyone, but when you log in, everything is completely different.

It should simply be a pay-to-win game, no strings attached, no lies. -- 105 сез. 15 д.

Well, if users could follow the game rules, there would be fewer restrictions.

Let’s take you as an example. Even after this article, you were punished because you broke the game rules (another team was playing from your IP, and you ignored related rules).

There is no logical reason for us to spend most of our time providing support and investigating cheating attempts instead of improving the game - especially since, in most of these cases, the teams involved never contributed to the game.

And these changes were definitely positive regarding how many cheating cases we need to investigate -- 105 сез. 15 д.
