Hamster Kombat‘s X page stated, “Cheaters do not belong in our community,” and that they have banned over 2.3 million users who were discovered to be hacking on the platform.
Hamster Kombat is a renowned Telegram tap-to-earn game that has garnered over 300 million users. In spite of this, the team has identified numerous users who have been employing unlawful methods to increase their profits from the platform out of the millions of users.
Hamster Kombat disclosed that they have been conducting an analysis of user behavior for several months and have identified various patterns that indicate cheating at different times.
A user who connected over 400 accounts to a single Binance address is a notable example. Although that may appear inconsequential, an additional user invited nearly 2,000 friends, all of whom were flagged.
These offenders were identified through the anti-cheat system. Hamster clarified that they observed accounts that were logged in at the same time each day, touching the same pixel. Automatically, these accounts were identified as fraudulent accounts.
Additionally, these unscrupulous individuals implemented software to automate their sales to gain an advantage over the legitimate members of the community.
6.8 billion HMSTR tokens, which are the property of these evil actors, have been confiscated by the team. The remaining 50% of the seized tokens will be burned, while 50% will be distributed to trustworthy users on the platform.
Furthermore, Hamster Kombat underscored that its community is committed to protecting its users and market participants, particularly those who have held the token for an extended period, and will not tolerate any form of cheating.
Criticism and User Reactions
Some users were dissatisfied with this announcement, as they perceived that they had also been deceived and betrayed by the crypto project. Kumar Praveen, whose remark on the post has garnered numerous impressions, disclosed that Hamster has neglected to fulfill certain commitments.
He elaborated on how influencers have deceived participants, particularly those who are new to the crypto industry. Praveen also asserted that Hamster had defrauded the community and the individuals who neglected to conduct an adequate investigation on the project.
Moreover, HamsterCombat Updates, a fan page of the crypto project with over 80,000 followers, appealed to the team to assist those unjustly prohibited accounts in regaining access to their accounts.
Obj, an additional user with more than 18,000 followers, stated that the sole way Hamster Kombat can restore its reputation is to ensure that it is listed at an extremely competitive price. Failure to do so will result in HMSTR losing many CEOs during its Season 2 phase.
Hamster Kombat has already disclosed that they will be commencing the interlude season, which serves as a preparatory period prior to Season 2 and will extend for several seasons. Players will have the opportunity to accumulate additional rewards, including “diamonds,” which will prove advantageous in forthcoming seasons.
