Unlimited Boosters

y’all are clearly missing the point… if they can stop us from getting unlimited lives and cap it at 200 a day but can only use 20 a day from friends then they can definitely stop the cheaters. They let the cheaters stay in the game to keep the ones spending to think they have a chance. Which is also the same reason that they randomly change the amount of plays you have on different levels. The cheaters set the bar extremely high therefore they can prove that someone could beat it with less plays.

Those are honest players. You have no reason to assume that they obtained those boosters by hacking @staceyand1 . For one thing it is possible that in order to post on YouTube these players invested real money into their games to buy those boosters. But also, I currently have over 12,000 gold bars in my account at level 4200 and have never used even the slightest cheat at all. If I were to purchase boosters with that gold (which I intend to do for All Stars 2025) then I would have a shedload of boosters. There are ways to play Candy Crush successfully without cheating or paying money. The best way is to play exactly one episode per day, I have found. Take advantage of the events but don't be fooled by them, don't get drawn into paying to keep your win streak at all costs and don't get drawn into playing on after finishing each episode. Only start the episode race if you know you can finish it that same day.

Pretty sure those aren't hackers....those players just are the types that save their boosters that they get during gameplay. It's not hard to accumulate 99+ if you don't use them by 17000 or if you buy some with gold along the way. Takes a long time though and I bet they caved and used a couple. But 99+ isn't infinite, you have to open the player profile to see the exact count once it's over 99.

It don’t take about a second to find a crap load of them on YouTube🙄

@christinewupp @pmin I heard that the windows player at the top of the map determine how the mobile new levels are played. Depending on how many levels are played, how many moves it takes or if we used boosters king will reduce moves or ad more blockers or keep the same amount to make it easier or harder for those that follow. As far as playing at the top I play without boosters 99%of the time. I do not spend money. I also do not use any cracks. I'm pretty sure with the huge amount of players that play the game there are millions just like me. @pmin I agree on your take on the hackers. The small amount of hackers makes no difference to king. They simply throw them out of the equation and AI would base the game on the play of honest players. Another thing we are not all playing the same game with millions of players some might get multiple so called lucky boards, some might be able to buy booster and the game doesn't change for them.king doesn't supply us with any stats on the game. I do think based on the 250 millions daily players that there different algorithms for different groups of players. Unfortunately for me I am in the group that doesn't get the everyday events that some other players do. I joined this forum in 2015 and never really paid any attention to it until over a year ago before the I had no idea my game was not the same. One of my 1st questions was what is the meaning of an icon lol I had never seen it after playing 10 years. How many people are like me? Millions maybe.

Geez I haven't seen this side of Christine before lol. All I'll say is some games (usually console or desktop ones) let you purchase them at a higher upfront price with no additional purchases available for the rest of the game. Whereas some games are free upfront and rely on ads/in-game purchases in order for the business to survive.

I do not think that a few hackers sway the way the entire system decides how the normal game options offered should be for all. There are just statistically too few hackers. As for how King decides what game options should be available.....I'll let Christine take the reigns.

Hello @staceyand1 Welcome to the community!

I do think you have got this chicken and egg situation wrong. King develop the game and design the levels so that we have to play boosters. King are in control. King are totally in control! They play us like puppets. The players have no control over how level difficulty changes! King trick players trying to get us to buy boosters and gold bars to pass levels, and the most cunning players have found ways to outtrick King so they don't have to spend real money. There are ways to do this that involve no cheating though which I do share in this community whenever I can.

I am not sure if you are referring just about the new levels that come out every week, first for Windows and two weeks later for mobile players? It is true that mobile players seem to get fewer moves than Windows players. I am not sure why this is but I doubt very much it is the Windows players that cause it. I doubt that many players left at the top of the map play the way that King intends, because I cannot see how it is possible to stay at the end of the game every week without spending a fortune. Are you playing near the end of the map? I believe that nearly all honest players have long dropped out because King have spent the last 12 or 18 months deliberately driving all players who never spend money from the game. Those players are of no interest to King as they don't make them any profit. They have done this by introducing impossible levels with no lucky boards, easy for King to manipulate by which candies drop from the top. So long standing players have been forced to spend all their stocked up gold bars and once those run out they are either forced to quit or find a cheat. Personally I don't blame them for this, as the game is so addictive it's hard to quit, and at the same time it is ridiculously easy to find a cheat, often just by chance without even looking for it.

So don't blame the players that fight back. King make the rules. King are in control of this game.

If there is a formula that takes into account how easy it is to pass levels, it likely takes boosters used into account too. Booster usage info is likely very tracked since there's a lot of revenue from it. So if someone uses boosters, moves it takes would be kind of irrelevant.

From what I've heard, there has been significant progress with the autoban system detecting people using those unlimited hacks. I just wouldn't think that hackers have anything to do with your moves allotted on a level of gameplay. The hackers are such a minority that their data is very unlikely to shift the mean. I've never met a hacker and I know a lot of players.
