Tourney Talk

That's what he was doing on the star tournament levels..... You don't get eliminated for just playing the star tournament. It can get you 31 million points if you just played 8153 for the tourney, 35 gold an hour.... Clicking a color bomb every turn.

The extra moves is designed to help you move past a level at a discounted price, not sit on it for hours. Plus the rules say you cannot interrupt the normal flow of a game in a real time competition that negatively impacts other players. Also that an exploit is doing anything that's beyond the reasonable intention of why it was created, even without the use of external software. If deliberately failing then playing 1 level for 42 hours was normal and how developers intended the game to be played, Candy Crush wouldn't be 17000+ levels. And 30x for new levels was specifically an anti farming rule. Then there's a few fair play rules, so anyone playing the game as designed has no chance. But it's your right to think that from now on everyone should just save up 1400 gold and score 30 million in the finals while watching tv.

I agree they should lower the max extra moves amount, they should also cap level points as well. But anyone reading this should not attempt this method in a tournament. It's violates many rules.
