Didn't my old ghost get replaced when I posted my new daemons ghost? I guess I could load the old version of arena and check.

I would like to see all exploits removed. They take away from the strategy of the game.
There was a mean one that we discovered during the beta test--That one was killed before the official release.
The Lion used to affect all the pieces on the board, as one of them does now (forget which at the moment), and all the pieces would burn when you turn the device. That mixed with a four-way alchemist would produce massive multipliers.
That has since been changed to keep the multiplier as is.

You mean the toad? It is the daemon that sets fire to the bricks by tilting. That was a good catch because it would be as boring as the illusion sorcerer.
I posted my uber ghost on purpose. I could have kept the audiohack as secret as possible and just beaten the high score by a small amount - always just one better. I had suspected that others were doing similar tricks to lag the game to get high scores and it ticked me off that I had been practicing to get good when you could just cheat.
I for one second the removal of all expoits. +karma to that. I guess I could have tried to keep the secret and just tell the devs, but it was obvious that some had already uncovered part or all of it so I figured the best bet would be to just tell everyone and hope for a fix.
Hopefully the lag exploit (audio hack, web page loading, etc...) can be removed.

Well, i honestly could not care about some exploits. I confess, i hacked my ghost, cause i dont have good agility and whatnot, but im trying to remedy that by using the turtle. Also, with the instability of daemons as it is now, the audiohack and the web page hack can easily get you a crash and burning fingers for nothing. I had a 20k hacked ghost with 5 orbs, crashed at 0:11 left. It recorded 1 of those 5. Plus AF's engine, iMmo, requires about 30mb of RAM to function optimally. Reducing that can crash your game.
tl;dr Hacking is a double-edged sword. It cuts into strategy, but can end up in your own throat. AAAAAAND therefore, i 3rdly the removal of exploits.
Must...improve...puzzle...skills.... Oh if exploits are removed, ALL ghosts must be cleared...again.

I hacked too my ghost, unfortunately I havn't the same skills as burtosis. ...With the bugs in this version is VERY hard to maintain the audiohack or the safarihack, the phone (at least mine) crash 8 times out of 10..

My ipod only crashes 3-4x of 10, but the hax makes it more unstable. Plus it destroys the nature of the game, gaining strength with better skills.
I have dropped from 3rd to 9th. It proves the hacks are not all-powerful.

Just for the record, my ghost on the previous leaderboard was a product of Illusionist + Sorceror, but my new ghost is a product of my mad skillz. Seriously, I've been avoiding exploits, in order to see what I can accomplish without them. I have to say, I was actually pretty impressed with myself for achieving 34k.

34k is nice for not using audiohack or sfaari or any other exploit....in fact i dont believe it but whatever. The combo should NOT be brought back. leanr soemthing else...four way alchemist at least requires a certain degree of skill in setting it up without makign a combo and screwing it up...

The highest strengh I achieved without it was like 18k (old version)...

I think it should be good riddance to the illusion + sorcerer combo.
FWIW I can get 30k+ easily and have gotten 41k (with monkey) with no cheats. I am guessing that with enough orbs and luck I could probably get about 70k with no cheats. Thats with about 1000 tries though - something I won't invest in until I am reasonably sure nobody is cheating.
However, its gonna take a long time to remove all of the lag cheats so I wouldn't hold my breath for a cheat free game yet.

Two things... Turns out, it's actually just under 33k. And, no, no cheats. I did use the Illusionist + Sorceror exploit on the old board, but this one is clean. I did it with two four-way Alchemist, and an Illusionist, to tie it all together. I was able to maintain my multiplier for the duration, and for a little while beyond, followed by some orbs. This is the same strategy that I used before the discovery of the old Illusionist + Sorceor trick, and I've returned to it. Also, I play A LOT, so I've had quite a bit of practice. On a typical high strength ghost I'll post around 25k. This one just turned out a little better. This is why I want the exploits to be killed--I play the game authentically.
