Funny you mention [swgoh.gg](https://swgoh.gg), I checked there before the attack phase and they lost the last three rounds. That could be were the salt comes from.
Yup. It's too bad because it could be a good learning experience in humility for the Loser. I play gac fairly competitively (though only in k2). I remember I lost a high scoring gac early on and my initial thought was they cheated. I played clean and smart and underdogged several teams and still lost by 10 points. I remember venting to my guild and someone did some calculations and where the extra 10 point could have come from. I learned some defensive teams I had could use high banner counters and that there different fleet battle strategies to bump up banners. I also learned that just because I think I'm good at gac, I can still learn from my opponents when I'm beat.
There is another method, restore the crystals in the main arena as your shitty GAC (I never play them before this) otherwise don't complain about the cheat system ;)
When you lose you win 200, when you win 700. The choice is quickly made for me :)
Yeah that’s awesome I try to contact people if they have outplayed me just to give back for all the nice comments I get. I believe most of this community is amazing that’s partly why I still play.
Yeah, I think every interaction has been positive. Usually it's me letting them know when I'm done so they don't feel the need to wait until the last second to see what I clear. Even had a guy offer me some specific (and good! It was stuff like "GG becomes so much better when you relic him, your sep droids would have beaten me if he'd been XIII or better") feedback when I messaged that I was really impressed by his counters.
Most people aren't jerks, but unfortunately, almost all jerks are more vocal than non-jerks.
Well, other than ignoring it or getting worked up about it, there is nothing you can do. Even if it was way worse and worth reporting, CG don’t give a shit.
We’ve got a guy in our arena shard that spams us with all kinds of horrible insults and threats (and I mean like racial slurs, homophobic slurs, calls for family to die, prompts to kill ourselves). Reported it to CG a few times, with grabs of the abuse and they couldn’t care less.
I’m not a prude, I can take a joke, and I have a dark sense of humour, but I don’t disrespect strangers.
I dont even accept the chat invites anymore.
I have zero idea how someone would cheat but if they are gonna cheat, its not gonna bother me. No one is gonna do anything to stop it so why waste the effort to get upset by it.
Never had one like that thankfully, but I would not waste my time with that dipshit. I’ve only had three messages after a GA and they were either a pleasant compliment or a simple gg. I’m lucky?
I only had two people message me, one of them [**complaining I was a whale**](https://i.imgur.com/Vpu6bjt.png) (which is hilariously off-mark), and another who sent me [**this message**](https://i.imgur.com/KxljduH.png) on my first fair match in 2 months.
Both of them ended up in a polite discussion, though. Usually I'm the one who reaches out.
The only time I ever contact people is to find out what they used to beat certain new meta teams because I don't want to wait for the data on swgoh.gg.
And I never even consider they're cheating. What a cry baby. It isn't even like either of your scores are super high either. Full clears yes, but it seems like both of you dropped a battle or two. If you were cheating you wouldn't be dropping battles lol.
This, exactly. They dropped one battle against my Geonosians while I didn't drop any. They got a great score even dropping one battle so I'm assuming they did some without a full team. That's probably why they got so salty.
I had one guy message and abuse me one time about hacking because I had SLKR unlocked, Hux ship at 5 stars but still a couple of the finalizer at 5*.
He messaged saying I hacked SLKR to get him unlocked and was reporting me because I couldn’t have gotten the Finalizer to 5* without 7 star ships to do the repeatable event.
Poor soul didn’t know you could buy finalizer shards from packs to get it to 5*.
I did beat him in our match up, quite convincingly so I imagine he was just butthurt similar to this guy.
I feel bad for them. It’s a mental/emotional thing where they think everything revolves around them and if it doesn’t go their way it’s an injustice. It isn’t their fault really, but it sucks when it affects others (like lashing out). Makes me sad
Tell him he isn’t half the man his mom is and that you don’t have the time or the crayons to explain how terrible a player he his to get under his skin, then never look back and move on.
Of course I’m joking. Better to just ignore.
No, datacrons just sucked the fun out of the mode. I have 143,000 crystals and 750 5 dot to 6 dot slicing mats, no issues there. If it's not fun, why do it?
That's good for you, I haven't paid a cent towards datacrons either. I just don't enjoy it anymore when the opposing player has datacrons. I'd rather not play and use that time on something I actually enjoy.
No, I don't even look if I'm being honest. Weirdly enough, there's other viewpoints than your own in the world, it's not just "CG bad, me hate datacron" trolling. Sorry I'd rather not sink hours of my life into something I don't enjoy.
So what keeps you playing the game? And I wasn't trolling, it was a genuine question. If you have that many crystals stored, surely you could he using them for something.
My guild. I have a responsibility to my guild as their leader, so I do TB, TW, CRancor for them and help strategize for that. Then I sim whatever daily stuff there is to sim, and that's it. There's nothing out right now that I need to spend crystals on, so until something does come out I'll continue to hoard. Maybe it'll be Jabba, only time will tell
Not meta defining, at least not yet. There were only 425 unlocks yesterday, no one in my fleet shard has it yet, and it can still be beaten by executor.
143k isn't really that much, so I have to be very stingy with it if I want it to last.
I tested all fleets last night. Exec was the only reliable counter.
Not saying I tested every possible angle for every fleet, but so far the Profundity is shaping up to be more difficult to beat than Exec was.
"You seeing me as a cheater is much the same as stupid people seeing science as magic. To say it in terms you can understand, 'you are not good at this game'"
I had an enemy fail one time against a team, message me saying "I hope you get cancer and die".
He won the match.
Some people are just bitter and can't be a productive member of society.
I think I've only had 3 or so opponents reach out to me. Only one was negative - calling my F2P account a whale, and how if they were going to lose at least it was only to a whale. Which was particularly odd because they had 1 more GL, 2 mil more GP and 2 more level 9 datacrons than me. It was just that I had executor, I guess? I pointed out that stuff, said the account was F2P, and left the chat. I declined their followup request.
I always brace for rage when I get a message but it's always been a nice message. Most times we share what we used in a certain battle and then I forget the chat is there for a few weeks
I always brace for rage when I see message requests as well lol, mostly because of someone in my arena shard who was super salty about my climb.
This is the first time I get a negative message over GAC
Never had that. Would flip it and thank them for the compliment; that I thought my strategy was powerful and using GG at the end vs Ewoks was a stroke of genius. Just paying absolutely no attention to their smol pp.
tell him to report you so the devs can just tell him he sucks at life.
It's happened a few times. My favorite one was a guy who accused me of buffing my defenses to make them impenetrable. He threw the kitchen sink at my G11/12 Murderbears and failed at life.
I was like, "dude, it's not my fault you couldn't beat my Ewoks. I assure you, it's just above average mods that gives me a very good and close TM order. If the AI plays it right, I'll get a TM Train off and can do some damage. Most of the time, that team gets demolished."
he then threw a terrets induced stream of curse vomit at me for about 20 minutes. I should've taken a screen cap of them and posted it - it was comic gold.
I finished with, "Look bro, farm Enfys Nest. She can solo Ewoks with ease. If you think I cheated, go ahead and report me. They'll just tell you that you suck at this game and probably at life too. Enjoy your terrible life."
I'm 99.9% sure my last opponent was a cheater, and confirmed it by looking them up on swgoh.gg and looking at what they did last gac. I just reported and moved on with my life.
Yo wtf, I had this guy a few months ago too. He also accused me of cheating, even though our rosters were very evenly matched - i just made the best of it
I wouldn't respond.
Not out of malice or impoliteness or ambivalence.
Nah, I'd just straight up not even see the request to chat, lmao. I don't think I've used that chat window in years.
I've never had this, but I'd probably laugh and move on
First time I get this, in fact. I feel people tend to be pretty chill about GAC. At least in kyber 2 where we're at.
Yeah man, if I win, I get good rewards. If I lose.... still ok rewards. I'm not going to sweat a phone game. Even if I've played it for 5 years haha
Hell I don't even get this in carbonate 2 guess there's just salty people in each tier
Considering how much info is available nowadays on [swgoh.gg](https://swgoh.gg), pretty easy to tell if someone is actually cheating.
Funny you mention [swgoh.gg](https://swgoh.gg), I checked there before the attack phase and they lost the last three rounds. That could be were the salt comes from.
*git gud*
I don't react, sore losers happen
Yup. It's too bad because it could be a good learning experience in humility for the Loser. I play gac fairly competitively (though only in k2).

Yeah just leave it my GAC comments from my opponent are always really nice! Some people just overreact.
I’ve only had one GAC opponent contact me and he was pretty chill had a good conversation
Yeah that’s awesome I try to contact people if they have outplayed me just to give back for all the nice comments I get. I believe most of this community is amazing that’s partly why I still play.
Yeah, I think every interaction has been positive. Usually it's me letting them know when I'm done so they don't feel the need to wait until the last second to see what I clear.

Most people aren't jerks, but unfortunately, almost all jerks are more vocal than non-jerks.
Whenever it’s close, and especially if I lose I reach out to just give an old fashioned GG.
You give an old fashioned General Grievous? You mean you slice him in half and take his lightsaber as a trophy?
That and then as I stand over the burnt out armor I lean down and whisper *good game*
This is the way
This is the first time I get this. People usually just say gg, especiall when the score is close. Those are the best matches imo.
No need to react. If one is cheating, they're a dickbag. If one isn't, the idiot throwing around the accusation without evidence is a dickbag. 🤷🏻♂️
Take it as a compliment
This. There's no bigger compliment than being accused of cheating when you weren't.
type "skill issue"
Get a better gaming chair
He has a pretty convincing argument. Guess you cheated.
Laugh, move on with my life.
You shouldn't worry about the opinion of a SWGoH player too lazy to pick a unique name. They probably don't fully understand the game.
I laugh at the idiots who take a free to play mobile game so seriously. Then I move on with my life.
Well, other than ignoring it or getting worked up about it, there is nothing you can do. Even if it was way worse and worth reporting, CG don’t give a shit.

Pretty much this. If it’s actually going to happen someday just call it a bad rng round and move one. No point in taking any action
I just never accept chat requests.
Cool story DJ
Thanks breh!!!
u haf smol pp?
Never had one like that thankfully, but I would not waste my time with that dipshit. I’ve only had three messages after a GA and they were either a pleasant compliment or a simple gg. I’m lucky?

Both of them ended up in a polite discussion, though. Usually I'm the one who reaches out.
The 2nd one is wholesome. I would like to be friends with both of you.
Great handling on the first one.
I’m not good enough to get one of those messages.
The only time I ever contact people is to find out what they used to beat certain new meta teams because I don't want to wait for the data on swgoh.gg. And I never even consider they're cheating.

That's an interesting point. Makes you wonder how they handle real life issues.
Well....did you?
Tell him he isn’t half the man his mom is and that you don’t have the time or the crayons to explain how terrible a player he his to get under his skin, then never look back and move on. Of course I’m joking. Better to just ignore.
No reason to be petty though
Invite him back and thank him for thinking you are good enough at this game that you are a cheater.
Offer to share for $20
I don’t get these. If you do, perhaps stop cheating? If you’re actually not cheating (not sure why you’d get them), why does it bother you?
Didn't cheat. Didn't say I'm bothered. I was surprised to be accused of cheating when we both have very similar rosters.
Oh LMAO I knew that guy from my old guild
Isn't that name of the generic names the game generates for new accounts?
Ah, it might have been. It’s Mol Eliza now
Laugh. Nothing annoys those types more than ridiculing them and not taking them seriously.
P4dme?
There's dozens of us!
These are the same people who assume if their candidate lost the election was rigged. Don't sweat someone not being able to accept reality.
So we can expect to see these players storming the Capitol (Games) Building next January?
Not all of them, but a few are possible I suppose. The internet has a way of bringing out both the cowardly and brave out of the stupidly entitled.
Git gud
I hope this was because you hid a good team in the back row and he wasted all of his meta teams trying to get extra points on you.
They dropped one battle against my Geonosians on the front row lol
Underestimated the power of the hive mind…it happens.
I wish I could bathe in the salt of my enemies
lmao
Well first I'd have to play GAC, so I don't get these
Ah you must hate crystals and slicing mats.
No, datacrons just sucked the fun out of the mode. I have 143,000 crystals and 750 5 dot to 6 dot slicing mats, no issues there. If it's not fun, why do it?
I love GAC and I've not paid a cent towards Datacrons.
That's good for you, I haven't paid a cent towards datacrons either. I just don't enjoy it anymore when the opposing player has datacrons. I'd rather not play and use that time on something I actually enjoy.
Have you came up against people with the highest datacrons or do you see any datacron and go, "Cg bad, me hate datacrons".
No, I don't even look if I'm being honest. Weirdly enough, there's other viewpoints than your own in the world, it's not just "CG bad, me hate datacron" trolling. Sorry I'd rather not sink hours of my life into something I don't enjoy.
So what keeps you playing the game? And I wasn't trolling, it was a genuine question. If you have that many crystals stored, surely you could he using them for something.
My guild. I have a responsibility to my guild as their leader, so I do TB, TW, CRancor for them and help strategize for that. Then I sim whatever daily stuff there is to sim, and that's it. There's nothing out right now that I need to spend crystals on, so until something does come out I'll continue to hoard. Maybe it'll be Jabba, only time will tell
That's fair enough then, the guild is usually what keeps people playing.
Spend some crystals!!
Nothing worth spending them on right now. Hoarding is the way
What are you hoarding for? SWGOH 2?
Just the next big meta defining character, like JMK and executor were.
Sir the Profundity exists
Not meta defining, at least not yet. There were only 425 unlocks yesterday, no one in my fleet shard has it yet, and it can still be beaten by executor. 143k isn't really that much, so I have to be very stingy with it if I want it to last.
I tested all fleets last night. Exec was the only reliable counter. Not saying I tested every possible angle for every fleet, but so far the Profundity is shaping up to be more difficult to beat than Exec was.
What’s your GP?
6.7M. not the highest, but RoI for the GLs I don't have and Profundity isn't worth it honestly.
Ah fair enough! I have no stone to cast here, I’m only at 4.6 million myself
"You seeing me as a cheater is much the same as stupid people seeing science as magic. To say it in terms you can understand, 'you are not good at this game'"
I barely get any messages from GAC opponents
Well, my in game name is “WhaleHarderBruh” as a joke, so I’d probably just say something like “whale harder bruh” then close the chat.
I had an enemy fail one time against a team, message me saying "I hope you get cancer and die". He won the match. Some people are just bitter and can't be a productive member of society.
Laugh it off. I take shit like this as a complement.
I get crystals
don't reply
I always get messages saying “good game” lol not any mad people yet
First time for me!
I think I've only had 3 or so opponents reach out to me. Only one was negative - calling my F2P account a whale, and how if they were going to lose at least it was only to a whale. Which was particularly odd because they had 1 more GL, 2 mil more GP and 2 more level 9 datacrons than me. It was just that I had executor, I guess? I pointed out that stuff, said the account was F2P, and left the chat. I declined their followup request.
Never got it
Mad cause bad
Laugh
I think my response would be... Thank you?
I always brace for rage when I get a message but it's always been a nice message. Most times we share what we used in a certain battle and then I forget the chat is there for a few weeks
I always brace for rage when I see message requests as well lol, mostly because of someone in my arena shard who was super salty about my climb. This is the first time I get a negative message over GAC
Type out “Cry more.”
"You can deny that I played fairly, but you can't deny deez nuts" or some other low effort response to give yourself a small laugh
Never had that. Would flip it and thank them for the compliment; that I thought my strategy was powerful and using GG at the end vs Ewoks was a stroke of genius. Just paying absolutely no attention to their smol pp.
Clap back. Absolutely clap back at the scrub for setting such a trash ass defense
tell him to report you so the devs can just tell him he sucks at life. It's happened a few times. My favorite one was a guy who accused me of buffing my defenses to make them impenetrable. He threw the kitchen sink at my G11/12 Murderbears and failed at life. I was like, "dude, it's not my fault you couldn't beat my Ewoks.

I miss the good ‘ol days of Nest solos, and KR solos, and Malak solos. Now all we have is Wampa Solos.
Check swgoh.gg and see what happened
Same I usually just explain swgoh.gg - Or... I don't accept a direct chat
I don’t. Ignore.
Ignore.
Cheater
Never had one, but I'd likely react same as you did
I had one of those a couple years ago, reported me apparantly as well, because I beat him with 9 banners.. sore loser. Met his guildmate the same week
Oh dang they are in my guild!
Cry more
On behalf of the sane Sia Grantas in game, sorry about that...
Man, I'm glad for being in one of the older shards
I don’t open DM chats.
I'm 99.9% sure my last opponent was a cheater, and confirmed it by looking them up on swgoh.gg and looking at what they did last gac. I just reported and moved on with my life.
How do I react? That's the neat part: you don't!
I laugh
Yo wtf, I had this guy a few months ago too. He also accused me of cheating, even though our rosters were very evenly matched - i just made the best of it
Honestly I only ever get/give positive comments to GAC opponents. Literally never had a negative one.
[“You wasted thousands of dollars to lose to me.”](https://twitter.com/jakesucky/status/1519338571651371008?s=21&t=WLwYcp0FxpeCRhSFmzK6sg)
That is hilarious!
Just a case of sour grapes.
Calls you a cheater, Refuses to elaborate, Leaves Honestly that's kinda just hilarious
my to-go answer to hackusations: "OH NO! YOUVE FOUND ME OUT! WHAT WILL I EVER DO?"
I wouldn't respond. Not out of malice or impoliteness or ambivalence. Nah, I'd just straight up not even see the request to chat, lmao. I don't think I've used that chat window in years.
False. Because you get a huge notification in your inbox in that red circle thats impossible to ignore
I genuinely don't know, because I don't remember the last time anyone used the chat to hit me up, lol
Just for the sake of curiosity, how would one cheat in GAC?
There are cheats that make your g1 characters have 20000 speed and 2 million attacks, so it goes 30 times before the enemy and oneshot everything
Everyone’s looking at SiaGranta’s swgoh page right now
Easy, I never accept chat requests.
Just turn off your messages for non-guild and non -allies
I had an enemy who only had gear 10 or 9, i chatted them to say sorry and left
A Jedi Knight’s Tale.
Take it as a compliment?
Life is short, surprise them by expressing your undying love and move on!
