So recently the developers and support of AOWE have been banning players who abused the infamous "tower glitch" which consisted of players holding the reward button in tower, scrolling to the next map with their other hand then releasing, to collect the reward infinite times and cause some serious issues with this mobile game!
A lot of people are leaving the game and getting refunds from Google Play... Lets discuss what happens about this topic here..

I didn't see this glitch in action, so I guess I just assumed that the person could have clicked "claim prize" over and over. But from the way you describe it, it clearly took a bit of thinking and manipulating to get it to work. I believe that any player doing it, knew exactly what they were doing- which was taking advantage of a flaw in the system. That pretty much confirms my belief that something should be done to the accounts of people who took advantage of this. I don't know if they're legally allowed to outright ban those accounts- I'm not versed in that at all, but I've also read that they can just take away the items that were enchanted/maxed out through this glitch, or the extra heroes, etc.
Interesting to me is that on our server, the players who were banned for doing this, are the ones who were always calling every single thing a glitch, if anyone won other than themselves in the events. Funny how when it comes down to it, those are the ones who were exploiting the game all along.
I really have no idea... but I'm getting out the popcorn to watch the show.

So far what I have heard as a GM is that the developer's are banning the accounts that have maliciously abused the glitch and are removing any items which have made their account enhanced by the mistake. They have also mailed players saying within 2 business days the items will be removed and then their accounts will be unbanned. Will post more if I find out anything

And yes also Mahlani, the glitch took some work to do, it wasn't like a simple button click, you had to click and hold down one button while scrolling and then release that button, so it was planned and should be punishable in my opinion.

All you can do Daniel is write a ticket, that is the only way..........
and Mahlani, from the devs reply to players they called it banning permanently so I have no clue since they said it will be unbanned in 2 days they don't know what they're doing honestly |

Except they messed it up somehow. They reset some of their 5-star gems to level 1, but left the 6* gems that were enhanced with the glitch. Can we get that glitch back for a few days? Id happily take a few days off from the game if it meant returning to maxed out 6* gems... SMH. |
