    Bots!! I know you're right Lloydjv!! Of course, cheat to make everyone spend money on the powerups! It makes perfect sense. When I quit playing at 2 or 3am, many times I am in the top three on the leaderboard, but when I start playing a few hours later I am sometimes back near the bottom. With the time it takes (most of us) to regenerate more turns in say, Survival, it seems impossible for some to HONESTLY achieve those high scores. It is not only frustrating but very disheartening!! It makes me want to quit the game altogether! I guess 20 million a year isn't enough for Emax, they have to cheat in their own game to get even more money from us hardworking players. Please fix this, Emax! Get rid of the bots. It is not fair to us REAL PLAYERS!!!

    The user_pr bots are awful and have taken much of the fun out of Survival. The question is - Who compromised the mode? Some hacker just to mess with people or would the company itself plant them to motivate more playing/spending, as Judi mentions.

    You all echo the same complaints that I posted a few days ago. I’m fairly sure that it’s bots, with the exceptions of the “winners” from other countries. A player that I play with told me himself that the questions/answers were easier in his language. That’s why nothing ever changes. I still haven’t won one of the top two winners in the daily question since they lowered the number of prices worth having. They can’t can’t say that all the questions/answers come from players when you can look up the authors & there’s nothing there. I also think they are behind the different variations of the same question ie covid-19, Coronavirus. They could have made some of the changes we’ve asked for if the wanted to. They don’t! Because of this & all of the wrong answers (Which just grow larger every day) that we don’t have a way of reporting & rob us of our correct answers & therefore, wins, I’m not even trying to win anything anymore. For now, I’ll continue to play pic duels & Classic with the people I’ve played with for years, but that’s it! So fed up with Etermax!

    It's bad enough playing against real people who just buy their way to the top, but I understand Entermax is in business to make money, so c'est la vie.  However, these bots make the game not worth playing.

    Absolutely correct. The top of the leaderboard is consistently a mixture of these anonymous bots and South Americans. Emax either creates this situation or condones it. I’m not sure which is worse.

    Cursed bots 🤖 It’s quite telling that the company hasn’t replied to Lloyd’s post after 5 days and counting. Not even a mention of relaying the issue to the development team. Naughty naughty.

    John Nichel yesterday- How were you able to post a screenshot? Are you inside the app or on the website? I’ve tried to do that and couldn’t.
    Thanks

    Mike, you can only post an image by using a computer browser. Does not work on a phone. Email the image to yourself, download it and post it on the Forum via the browser site. I’m going to post my current group which is egregiously loaded with bots on top.

    OMG, that's Bot hell. Maria is also a Bot. I have a few with common names like that too and they all are always novices. Some show up in the rankings, others I cannot be sure of, and we cannot see their stats. Pretty much suspect I'd say. Almost and indictment. Think a class action suit would clear this up?

    It might get them off their asses to pay some attention to us! How else do we get their attention here? We write and write, but the only attention I get from them is an email invite to participate in their Triviathon event that starts the 24th (Monday). Top 3 streaks win. I currently have a high streak of 58, I don't think I can do much better than that, especially when gaming against bots! C'mon Emax... get rid of the bots so we actually have a chance of winning a top 3 spot in this challenge!! 😞😜😖

    A new Survival game began today, and as usual, more bots. We are doomed. TC apparently does not care anymore. Too busy counting their cash.

    I’m currently not playing Survival because of this & the amount of wrong answers in the game with no way of reporting them. It has taken my enjoyment of the game away & frustration has replaced it. It used to be my favorite game 😞

    I’ve quit survival entirely. What a joke. Top players are all anonymous users and miraculously they are all novice players as well. What a con.

    I would like to add my voice to this discussion of anonymous users/?cheaters on Survival mode. Today at 630 am I entered a survival match. It is now just 6 pm and in less than 12 hours the top scorer in my group has over 90,000 points. That is not a typo!!!! I play this game regularly and I have never seen a point total this high this early in the game. Clearly someone is not playing fairly.

    It’s a bot installed in the game to generate activity. I bet the super brain with 90,000 points is also a novice player. Ask yourself how that is possible, and how they can possibly avoid advancing from that level?

    And still no answer from Etermax. I think we have them cornered this time and it just proves how dishonest they are being.

    I’ve raised the same issue directly via email and they have simply not replied. The game is not only full of bugs and faults but also fraudulent bots designed to increase volume.

    The whole think just stinks. They obviously don’t care about the accuracy of the games or whether they’re losing players. They just fill up the screen with useless things that no player likes or uses. They keep creating these instead of fixing the games they have in place. I only play two of their games & don’t love the fact that they forced tug of war on me. They don’t care about their players at all

    I'm finding bots everytime now. I am third in my weekly ranking. I have 45,000 points and have played a bunch. The two ahead of me have over 100,000 with still 4 days to go. Between this and now some "political" questions getting through not based on fact, I am close to quitting altogether.

    I am right there with you all! I find myself playing less and less (my apologies to those of you I have games with) but the whole process has become nothing but an uphill battle to get to a top scoring position! Life can be stressful enough, but it should NOT feel stressful when playing a game!! Get rid of the bots, Emax, or I fear you may lose a lot of dedicated players! It is so damn frustrating to work so hard to get somewhere in this game, only to be knocked down by planted bots!! The fact that you refuse to participate in this discussion with us speaks volumes!!

    They’ve stopped even bothering posting their standard cut and paste messages that say nothing.

    They haven’t even got control of their bots, with one in five survival games crashing out with tally and internal logic errors.
