The same thing happened to me too. I was number one on all stages with buying a lot of gold bars and boosts until the first final. I noticed right away in the Round 1 final that some people had high scores right away which was impossible. I also noticed that I had a hard time winning levels. So, I decided to buy one more round of gold bars and to no avail. So, I quit. I spent over $800.
I also noticed that the stage before the Round 1 final there seemed to be a bot. The bot's name was Benjamin. I even starting called him Benjamin Bot. He would just stay behind me on my score; and, in the morning he would be 200,000 ahead of me. When I would get 200,000 ahead of him, all of a sudden he would start playing and be behind me. This made me spend more $$.
King needs to fix this. They need to terminate the cheaters and start a fresh tournament. They need to tell us what changed they made. I also suggest that the tournaments not be so long and periodic 10-15 minutes breaks with 4-5 hour max. play per person and stage. It is hard playing all those hours and all those days. We still have eat and sleep.
If these changes aren't made, I will never play a King game again.
