I am confident there are cheaters still roaming after seeing what Rich (with the cartoon tiger did today)
But depending how long ago they reached level 8 they could be level 9 relatively legit without buying too many feathers. I say that as I mentioned earlier today…after the update and new level added most if not all of my birds were in the 700-1000 range. After getting the 500 feathers from the 7 game win streak and feathers from the extra chests the new version offers Chuck is already at a 9.
The spells is a purchase unless the Sb hacker app that at least a few cheaters had still works. Then they have no limit to free jewels and all that comes with it.
I have already notified Iida at Rovio about Rich and so far they have been pretty quick to resolve these things as I provide the information. They have a way to access their player ID number much faster now.
