Farming is cheating !!!!!!!!!!!

[Spunky the Zombie]

Is has come to my attention that players are setting up flesh and blood farms. This is totally cheating and people who either use or own these farms should be banned from playing or at the very least have there stats, abilities and levels reduced to what they were before they were farming.

I have nutured and raised my zombie without farming and he is extreaming powerful winning 90% of the time, farming is not nessacary for you character to advance.

It is completly cheating and to be honest takes the fun out of this game. People who farm are easy to identify. They have abilities way beyond there scope for example. A level 40 player may have abilities that exceed 200. To identify a farm the player will have no abilities but will have a huge amount of slaves or traps.

Storm 8 please knock this on the head as it is only going to get worse.

Farming isn't cheating. If you don't like farming then don't do it - no one makes you do anything in game. But unless something is against the rules - which farming is not - it's not a cheat. But you can't expect everyone to follow the same standards if it's not a rule. Sorry but you're just going to have to deal with it if you want to play the game.

I think what you are talking about is.. not farming in the classic sense.
Farming-- is somewhat a loose term.. and if you read around folks
have different ideas of what it is..
But basicly it's attacking someone, with little defense.. and they
spill out flesh, blood whatever... like a ATM machine.
They get upset.. and leave a comment... link on your board.

So now... when you open the game... and see you are just a few hundred
or thousand away from getting just one more trap... you
go into your comments... and attack that sore loser... till they are dry
and buy stuff.

And you do this on a regular basis.. just like doing a "mission" for flesh,
just like "attacking" for flesh on the fight board, or buying traps to
get flesh.
Farming.. is a technique to obtain in game money...and it's fair play.

If one does not want to be farmed you must have a defense score greater
than the top attack score for your level, and never, never leave
comments on a stronger players board.


What you seem to be talking about is someone having two accounts and
or devices... and having one account as a farm for yourself or other
players.
I think there is a grey area here... I have not heard Storm8's take on this.
But I get the idea.. one game per device..not one game
per person.
I'm not sure how they could inforce this.. as people can have
multiple iTunes accts, per credit card.. in the family or per person.
As well as mutilple iTunes accts per computer/ISP.

There have been people here openly discussing this exact thing.


I think the thing that Storm8 can control, and it's not allowed, are
two of the same game on one device.
And playing a hack game on a PC.
I agree.. these set ups should be banned.

I want to applaud you on your informative and extremely articulate post. Thank you :)_

I am talking about the ppl who have two or more accounts and use these account to collects massive amounts of income. They are not playing the game in the way this game should be played. For example, i realised that my character was rubbish so i sold all my abilities and just bought traps for 2 weeks. I know have a very powerful character. In my opinion this is the way this game should be played.

It should nt be played by having two or more accounts and rapeing that account until the player has amased a huge amount of income.

I am also aware of ppl asking other ppl to set up account so they may be farmed. these accounts are only used to obtain revenue and are not used to play with. This is cheating and this should be stopped.

Having a second account and farming it is cheating because (in my opinion again) you are not playing the game as the way it should

I have noticed low level players having 200+ abilities. There is no way they could of achieved this by themselve (their traps/slaves do not give that type of income). This is cheating. To farm another player because his defense is rubbish is not cheating as this is what the game is about.

To give a player a distiink advantage over other players vis setting up and second or more account to just farm it is cheating (in my oponion)

I am also aware of ppl asking other ppl to set up accounts so they may be farmed exclusively. These accounts are only used to obtain revenue and are not used to play with. This is cheating and this should be stopped.

I have noticed low level players having 200+ of the highest abilities(offense/defense/special). There is no way they could of achieved this by themselves (their traps/slaves do not give that type of income). This is cheating. To farm another player because his defense is rubbish is not cheating as this is what the game is about.

It's not considered against the rules though. If someone has more then one device to play the games on then it's not considered cheating - unless Storm8 changes their rules.

Stop crying or go play with BARBIE'S.

What I'm kind of missing is if you find a farm, why don't you use it? It seems like you struck an oil well and refuse to use it? And I think I am confused on this you can identify a farm because it has lots of slaves and traps but is low level- that sounds like someone trying not to get farmed? low level means low stats, but does not define the patience of the player. It really just sounds like some people have figured out new ways to play the game. Isn't it slanted so that its impossible to defend with an all def stat allocation against an all att stat location? I mean that's why I keep getting beat now...because most of my stats are in energy.

The only way that I accept farming is by a same level player
that without buying points has created a better rounding account.

Players that are 10 levels higher have a horde/crew/mob advantage.
And there is not need to talk about unlegit players (point buyers) that
have made their character more powerful by VISA and MASTERCARD
(and some times AMERICAN EXPRESS and DISCOVER). They are basically
dollar bullies.

Then of Course there are the campers.
Campers quite honestly should take it upon themselves to find a way to
get links to all people that farmed them while they were camping and
farm the hell outta them when they stop camping and get all their abbilities.

I'm pretty sure whining is cheating.

[niiro]

i herd taht teh attack is teh cheat

[FleshViper]

if I started a new character now (a SAVAGE) and put ALl my initiaL flesh into 5 Human disguises and 2 Falling cages.

I now have an income every 50 minutes of 15

If I leave it for 6 days ( & only come on to put it safely in the Butchery)

after one day I'd have 432 and after 7, I'd have 3024. (Which is a lot for a lvl 1).

Now you invest that into 20 more Falling cages and repeat. you now have an income of over 1000 every 50 Minutes. that's 29K a day.

If you slow down & not blast through all the levels then you can slowly acquire an amazing nest egg and if you spend your money on Maxxing out your defence for your Horde size ( Keep it low) then the game is gonna play itself for you!!
You just pop back every day or so & put in the butchery. then eventually you can proceed with levelling once you have enough flesh in the butchery to keep you going, but you'll be set for a while.

Of course you WILL reach the level where your income will not be as high in comparison to your expenditure and this method obviously isn't good in the short term if you wanna get stuck in & play, but it's just another way that the game could be played.

I think what you are saying, about lower level players having hundreds of traps being considered 'cheating', is way off the mark. It's called camping.

I'm a level 7 Zombie. I've been playing the game (although not as avidly as my favourite games, Vampires / iMobsters / WorldWar), for about 2/3 months now. I have 204 Human Disguises, 181 Falling Cages and 174 Collapsing Mancovers. All I've done is go by the strategy Flesh Viper explained to you.

As for people having two devices, and using one as a 'farming account', in essence, IS cheating. That's my opinion. However, there is very little that storm8 can do to combat such tactics, as there is very little way of deciphering whether the two devices belong to the same person.
