Quoted from Pinfactory2000:Nobody said it could be 100% stopped. Only that its not a big deal.
Its pinball.
Cheating happens in everything. Online gaming, professional sports, business, the world. Probably the universe.
Doesnt mean the universe shouldn't exist.
Adding a level to a PF and a sensor to ensure the lockbar is down is all you need to stop the majority of it...And even that is probably too much if its simply for connecting with your buddies. If 5% of people are crazy enough to bypass that stuff to add 3 letters to a leaderboard someplace far away then thats on them and wouldn't change the fact that it would be cool to see worldwide scores (or just your friends scores) scroll through the attract mode of pins.
People that didnt want to see the 3 letters of their friends scroll through their pin (because there is an outside chance one of those players cheated) they could simply opt out.
It’s not just cheating, it’s everything. I own two copies of the same game. They play completely differently. If they were connected, it wouldn’t be fair because one is easier than the other. There are just too many variables to make them even.
There was also an Iron Man on location near me, and I’d walk in and stomp on it because it was setup so much easier than mine. No two games play the same.
