I'm going to have to agree with Bubblegum here.
As long as there are people who are cheating, it just isn't worth me playing the game. I'll most likely be going inactive until all the exploiting business is fixed and then we'll see. Seeing how they've most likely pushed some alliances above others, the politics are going to be really unbalanced. I'd have no problem with a reset with the game in it's current state to be perfectly honest here.
It's unfair to the other players when you have alliance a lot bigger then they should be, due to people in them exploiting. Whoever is running this mob is not stupid at all, he or she has most likely pumped cash all over the game, catching it all would be almost impossible at this point. We have no idea how long this crap has been going on and how many people have benefited from it.
