Best Of

This looks pretty standard, I am seeing several leaderboards with players at just over 200,000. I am one of them myself. So you think this kind of score is unfair? It's too high? Too high for what? Let me tell you to achieve a similar score I spent 12 hours crushing non-stop on Thursday night/day, then crushed a bit more leisurely on Good Friday and last night I crushed for another 12 hours until the finish line. What exactly is unfair about that? The fact that we put more time and effort into this than you? The fact some of us are better and faster at crushing candies? Isn't that what this competition is supposed to be all about? Let the best player win? Players are scoring this high because this is the penultimate round: Some very serious crushers remain determined to win. It's to be expected. We started off with 15 million players and now perhaps 500 or 1000 remain.

Christine, let’s stop pretending for a second.You keep talking like this is all just “hard work” and “the best player wins,” but the way you’re defending this game, it honestly sounds like you’re speaking for King, not for actual players.You said you spent 12 hours straight playing, then more hours after that. That’s your choice. But don’t come here and act like that proves fairness  all it proves is how much time someone is willing to burn. That’s not skill, that’s endurance.And let’s be real: if you’re not working for kING or benefiting from it somehow, then what exactly are you gaining from defending it this hard? Because right now, you sound like someone who has no sympathy for the players who are actually questioning what’s going on.The issue is not “who played longer.”The issue is:The game feels manipulatedThe scoring doesn’t add upThe competition is not transparentAnd yes, it feels unfairYou keep saying “let the best player win”  but there is no clear “best” when the system itself is questionable. Scores jumping over 200,000 don’t automatically prove skill, especially when many of us have been tracking and recording inconsistencies from day one.So instead of dismissing people, maybe tell yourself the truth:Not everyone believes this competition is clean.If you want to spend 12+ hours playing, that’s your business. But stop acting like that automatically makes everything fair, and stop speaking like you represent players’ interests, because right now, you don’t.And before anyone else jumps in like they always do, because let’s be honest, every time I say something, the same group comes out to defend it.  go ahead,  say it clearly and back it up.

Correct. It's endurance. Candy Crush is not a game of skill. I've been saying that for years. It's based on simple algorithms and a primary school child could play it now.

I'm off now to take a rest.

I may not be back. It's the same every year here. I can't be doing with it this year, thanks. I'm not even bothering to read all that. I'm tired. I have a life. Find somewhere else for your vengeance.

Last year it was known there were 1000 remaining, do we know how many exactly remain this time?

I also thought multiple players but who would care that much to play together? Plus each person would want a spot on the winners round. So that doesn’t make sense. I firmly believe software is being used to play multiple straight days. This is an example of the the others players that are real humans I was competing against & their levels played. It’s consistent to the scores Jay however was a totally different type of player & I don’t this it was human endurance

i agree with you @christinewupp. I eneded with ~ 280 k. It’s normal score for a top player.

Last year I got to the final knock out and placed no 8. I have no problem playing for +24 h. However i do find it hard to play for several days non stop without sleep.
Unfortunately I only got second in this round. The one at the top have played non stop since wednesday, at a steady state. I been checking continously even during short wake up at sleep. Don’t think it’s a bot but I’m suspicous that it’s two players alternating. One a bit faster than the other what I can see. I hope King is making improvement in detecting cheating as well as detecting multiple players.

O q estava em 1 lugar tava em amarelo e eu em verde

Não entendi como é feito essa contagem

A0q pelo q eu entendo 9 q tava jogando sem parar desde o começo era um impostor

A não ser q ele estava jogando com outra pessoa q três dias direto não tem possibilidade

Tô mto chateada gastei mto dinheiro , sono e tempo demais

SAME!!! This player Jay came out of nowhere & seems to be a bot. Played for 48hrs straight. I had to use all my 10xs to beat him. I know I won’t win the next round but I was furious that this is not a real human playing the amount of levels won is not humanly possible unless they are cheating

These are the other humans I was playing against. Their levels won are consistent with the scores. Jay is not. To play over 48hrs & win that many levels is humanly impossible

The cheating is obvious in this game. This person has played for over

48hrs straight. The amount of levels won is to high. The win streak is fire & then drops off to zero mins before the round ends. I beat him but there will be other players in the next round that will use software or AI to continuously play I’m sure of it.
