I recently started a new weekly contest with friends. When I first saw this new contest a random ‘friend’ is at the top of my weekly contest with an unbeliveable 125 levels just at the start of the weekly challange.. This is not fair! How am I able to beat this in a week? I only want to play with my real FB friends.. This feels like a scam.

    Hi and Welcome to the King Community

    Some players haven't saved their game via Facebook or by creating a King account, these players appear in the game as 'Player' and with a random character from any of the King games.

    In most of the events of this game you will find random friends who are not on your friends list but everyone is a player of this game. Since contestants selection is completely random, you cannot remove or skip them because the random process cannot be manually modified.

    Completely random, yeah right… This ‘friend’ feels like a scam robot.. How can a normal person play 125 levels in a half a day without saving the game by connecting to FB or by creating a King account.. Makes no sence to me…

    Even this answer is copied and pasted from identical posts I have seen here before.. To bad..

    Suggestion for development: Place all these random players in their own weekly tournament and let normal users play with their real FB friends..

    You are correct. They are not random at all. Not bots, but real players carefully chosen by the King AI to give you a personalised,"bespoke" gaming experience, i.e. to make it challenging for you so you will spend money on the game. Nothing is random about Candy Crush at all, no matter what they say. It is all carefully manufactured and controlled.
