A year later, I will check whether the bugs or deceptions I mentioned have been fixed. If not, it means that everything today is meaningless

Just a small thing ive been wondering. why haven’t any other DLGZ members come forward to claim innocence? surely they can’t all be guilty?
if i were a genuinely innocent DLGZ member (or EX-DLGZ member i guess) then i would come forward now and swear innocence before their name gets tarnished with the rest of the clan

if it then turns out they are telling the truth at least they are trying to protect themselves?
likewise it surely can’t just be members of DLGZ who are guilty here. there’s bound to be others too.
i personally am not affiliated with any clan though and this sort of thing is part of the reason why. all get tarnished with the same brush.
(though i did consider making a YMCA clan for giggles - seems quite fitting now a few players will be “down on the dough” :rofl:)

It’s absurd that players could cheat this hard and still get off with a temporary ban having to pay back their gems.
If I used the cheats they’ve had access to, I’d have easily gotten top 1 two seasons ago and I’d likely have double the awakened mythics I currently own. The only repercussions would be that I have to pay back these gems I hacked to get. That would be pretty easy to do considering I get to keep the awakened mythics I got through the cheats.

I agree , Is perfect .

They don’t have any bad records in the past since they’ve never been caught up until now. It seems like they’ve been using these cheats for well over a year now and with this punishment, they’ll still be allowed to keep all the awakened mythics they cheated to hatch. There’s basically no downside to modding the game if this is all that’s going to happen.

Despite being a joker you have good ideas, the sentence seemed fair to me until you raise this. If it is worth it apparently but good as it is a game and the idea is to have fun, it is not worth it from this point.

Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m certainly not having fun when I’m losing to cheaters that wouldn’t stand a chance against me if they played legitimately. I missed out on a top 10 and a top 2 spot because of these cheaters.

Is it so hard for Luxus to admit its mistakes? You said you provided bugs to developers to improve the game, I think you did a good job, you did a lot for DLGZ, your credit is huge, I respect you. But why are you using bugs in the process of finding bugs? I’m just asking you did you get illegal achievement gems? Does a great deal of credit cover up a mistake, since so far you have failed to face up to your cheating and have shown no apology. You’re always worrying about the organization, you’re always worrying about the game, you’re really working hard, take a break. Every game has a lot of bugs, and the best thing to do is work with the developers to find and fix them, not exploit them for your own benefit. For example, if you are given a kitchen knife and you kill people randomly, and the other person just uses it to cut vegetables, is it the kitchen knife or the person’s problem? A bug is not the scariest thing, it is the person who uses it for personal gain without consideration for others. Laxus you always think you can represent some group, you always worry about the things you can’t change. Now you just want to quit the game and run away. And before you leave, you have to take DLGZ, too, or destroy it if you can’t get it? You think you can get away with quitting the game? Goodbye deserter! Finally please forgive me for being rude and rude. :joy:

ajjajahaa that is what I mean is that the fun is to play legal and win later. Winning by cheating is like winning a game with infinite mod.

Sounds perfect! Thanks for reconsidering the punishment. I think it’s good that these players can continue but with a heavy debt to repay.

This is the only thing that I struggle to believe. I don’t know the full inside story, but from talking with DLGZ members I hear it’s been quite well known that they have cheaters able to do some powerful things. You wouldn’t hand over your account to someone you didn’t know, so they probably knew it was a hacker who’s been successfully using cheats for many months/years without punishment. I haven’t heard any of them tell me this story, I’ve heard other things. But anyway I’d rather have them continue to play because I don’t know how bad the offence was by each person.

The double hatching (so it only takes two mythic hatches to awaken) is definitely a scary one. However, we don’t know who do it and apparently that cheat has been stopped so it’s hard to say whether these people need any mythics taken away. By the sounds of it, this was a particular event where a group of people all took advantage of the cheats to get a lot of extra gems.

Thank you for the feedbacks. After much discussion, we have decided to ban all the accounts who exploited achievement permanently. We will reflect on the whole thing again and remember what we learn from it.

Furthermore, we have been turning a blind eye on unofficial apps, because we merely want the users who cannot acquire Neomon in their countries to enjoy the game. But it has always been a difficult task for us to deal with those special cases and overlook potential cheating acts. Therefore, this will also change from now on in order to create cleaner and fairer environment for the users who are using official app.

If you are using modded app, your account may receive a permanent ban no matter you never use the modded functions or you are not aware of it.

We will make Neo Monsters free to download for anyone on the following period:
Android: 10/2 9:00 (JP time) ~ 10/9
iOS: 10/2 9:00 (JP time) ~ 10/30

We advice you to obtain the official app and transfer your account over there before the end of October if you are currently using the app you downloaded from unofficial platform.

Thank you for understanding.

Thank you @Dev_VKC this is absolutely the right decision.

I want to add a few words to give people who are not familiar with coding and modding a different perspective.

Let’s assume Neo would be a racing game with different cars. All cars have different strengths (like handling, acceleration etc) but they all have more or less the same top speed. So what would be a bug in this game? A bug is an unintended flaw or mistake that mainly results from some code in the not working as intended. A bug would be that a car only has three wheels or cannot reach its top speed. Sometimes bugs are game breaking and allow players to do something they shouldn’t be allowed doing. Thats when players “exploit” a bug. However, its important to note that in this case all players have the same opportunity to exploit the bug. It might be morally wrong to do so, but its fair.

But that’s not what happened here. What happened here was that the DLGZ members used a modded APK. A modded APK is a modified version of the original app but somebody went into the code and intentionally changed stuff. So for our example that would mean that suddenly some players a playing with a version of the game in which every car is twice as fast as it is in the official App. So that’s intentionally gaining an advantage by manipulating the game code. So why am I explaining all this?

Because if you are using a modded APK you’re not reporting a bug when you say that all your cars are twice as fast as usual. As explained: this isn’t an unintentional mistake, this was a manipulation that happened on purpose. It’s like setting fire and then call 911 reporting the fire. So this whole “We may have cheated but we also reported bugs” story is absolutely nonsensical. As we have seen from the screenshot from DLGZ L they had no problems to buy gems so if you are looking for a version of the app that gives you free gems you are very well aware of how the game is supposed to work and you have an intention to cheat when you download a modded APK that will allow you to claim achievement gems for events you didn’t even play so you don’t have to pay for gems anymore.

I can see no victims here, sorry. If you know how the app usually works, if you have no problems buying gems then you’re simply cheating when you are downloading a modded APK. And if we apply benefit of the doubt: In the very moment you realize your version of the game allows you to claim gems you shouldn’t be able to claim, allows you to hatch twice per 40 gems, gives you unlimited ingredients and potions etc. Etc. Thats the moment when you delete this app and return to the original app. But what doesn’t work is that you hatch mythic after mythic after mythic with the cheated gems and at the same time claim that “you reported bugs to the devs” by saying “well, there might be something wrong with my app”. You can’t benefit from cheating big and claim that you fight it at the same time.

So please dont buy this whole “but we also tried to help story”. Somebody who cares about the game wouldn’t have played the modded version for more than one second after he found out about all the cheat stuff going on.
