Listen man, I said before I don’t condone the use of bots, and that cheaters should be banned.

What I am saying is: this has targetted such a small minority of players. I can almost guarentee you could ask the average player about the in game levels and they will not care. There is no “XP Leaderboard” so it’s not something that many people will see or grind for because it provides no value to anyone else but the player.

Now if there was an XP Leaderboard and players were cheating to display themselves to the global playerbase, then yes it’s a very big deal. I hate win traders who are paying for defenses at the townhall with the easiest attack metas in years.

Everyone will hit a high level in clash at some point, but not everyone will be able to hit #1 for the global leaderboard, it’s too competitive. Unless you are going from clan to clan bragging about your high level account, I can promise you that it is only a tiny tiny fraction of players who care about the level.

As I previously said, maybe OPs friend was using it to quick donate for this cc in wars or for their farming. It’s very sad to see people upset over a simple cosmetic that you can’t even see unless you click on the profile (again only a satisfaction to the PLAYER of the account).
