i really hate to keep beating the dead horse but do ne1 know when the WLB will be reset or what they plan to do with the hacked ghosts? i kinda put my playing on hold until something happens, any time line would be great.

As is everything, it's a work in progress. Just hang in there; they'll fix it as soon as they can.

Well I am a bit cheesed because I was told that the WLB would be reset when you could no longer upload ghosts with the audiohack but obviously you still can. I should go through the effort of loading 3.1 back in my phone and posting another 200k ghost at this point.
Also, everyone playing on an iPhone has a major advantage. Just like using the audiohack. So unless a release is put out that slows the game for touch players then there isn't a fair playing field anyhow - even for 'honest' players.

I know, after that little demo I feel like i am being ripped off gameplay wise.

I don't think it's necessarily an iTouch v.s. iPhone issue. I don't have a video camera at the moment, but I don't get the lag that you have illustrated. My iPhone is a first gen, and it seems to get increasingly more difficult to maintain the multiplier. I think there may just be differences between individual units.

What we need are more videos. But look at the two posted and the times I mentioned carefully. I never realized my summons were lasting over three minutes - because I was so hyped up with the action of summoning. Even during our setup times when game activity was low had dramatically different game speeds.
AFIK the gen1 and gen2 iPhones have the same processor. The gen2 (iPhone3g) has more additional features, such as the 3g network and gps functions, which may make a difference. But probably not much difference as these are usually not running during play. The Touch has a much faster processor and fewer features. This is why the audiohack slows them down much less than the iPhones, and when you do use the audiohack, the game is not nearly as choppy and laggy.
I can't prove that I have an honest setup - nor can I be sure there isn't something wrong with my phone. But honestly there is nothing out of the ordinary about my setup to the best of my knowledge.
Look again carefully at the times. I will submit those as evidence. This is not the popping times (I will try to measure those too - but they are more difficult and multiplier dependant), but is the game seconds per real time seconds. If you can take youtube times and game times and show there isn't a difference great! If you have some other explination involving evidence great! But otherwise I (and probably most rational people) just won't be convinced because evidence is the key for getting belief.
Right now it sure looks as if everyone on an iPhone is getting an advantage better than the one button audiohack.

Thank you for looking into this. This customer support is just another thing that seperates this game from alot of others I have seen on the app store.

Not sure of everybody, but I know myself, Howling and changed4life have fudged thier scores.
What is a bit depressing is Howling is running 3.2 on a touch, but can still use the audiohack. I have heard a few other similar glitches on this front.
I used the one button audiohack, not much of an advantage, but haven't gotten over 92k without it.
Of course, the game runs much differently on a touch vs. iphone so I guess it depends on what device you play on as to how good you are. I haven't played on a touch, but even without the rabbit I have gotten 60k on an iPhone. I can typically score 30-40k with the monkey or lion about every third to fourth try. 10k is not that bad really. Typically it takes alot of practice and lots of tries and some luck on top to do very good.
If you learn the multicolor alchemy and use alch-illusion-alch then hold your multiplier for just awhile (try turtle) you should be able to score 15k without too much difficulty.

My ghost is also authentic, and will never not be.

My problem now is that I've been unable to reproduce my previous ghost, that was deleted from the leaderboard.
Of course, that could also be from the lack of a rabbit daemon, which is what I used to score my previous 34k ghost. Rabbit actually followed me over from the beta test, which it should not have, and as soon as I realized that was an issue, I had it reset. Now I'm struggling to regain the rabbit! I feel like Alice, and the rabbit is just outside of my reach.
If there were another way to earn the rabbit, I'd be all over it. Even if it means spending more money on this game.
