In the case of the two teams being mentioned in this thread, along with another one that I turned in, I'm 100% certain.
That, or these people are getting friends/family members to sign up and completely ripping them off multiple times. All three have been turned in and at this point the BB's will get to it when they it becomes priority.

I do understand your point/concern about false accusations, but that's just not the case here, they are pretty blatant.

There's a lot of difference by someone who sold a tough and powerful player for a high price and someone who sold an awful player for a very very very very very very very (anf anf..) very very very very high price

Right, awful players for high prices and multiple transactions in each case. There's no question.

I never said these accusations were false, I was just saying that they should always be certain.

Anyway, I believe the BB's will take care of this, since we are already discussing it on the GM forum.

I kind of agree with Raonne, I think accusations of cheating should be reported to the BB's or the GM's and not made publicly in the forums. In this case it might be 100% true, but in the future, I sure its wouldn't always be.

I agree with this as well, but I see this present case a big problem, because there is a very good player who will be permanently lost if this purchase is allowed to take place. Plus, if a human team buys the guy there is money they'd never be able to recoup from the inflated price.


As far as tools go, a fairly simple tool would be to run a query that compares transfer prices to total skill level. When a total skill level is less than fifteen and the bid/sale price is 500K there is very obviously a problem.

Maybe a solution for this would be to put all his players on sale (for $0) when a team is banned for cheating.

Plus, if a human team buys the guy there is money they'd never be able to recoup from the inflated price.

Well, for this I just think that if you think the player's value is less then what people are bidding on him, just stop bidding. If you payed more then u wanted for him that's your responsability. And if you think there is a cheater bidding on him, report him and expect to buy the player later when the team is banned (if they implement my previous suggestion).

What do you guys think ?
