Aion: Legions of War is still trying to make the best of its first few months, but it’s going to take some serious work on behalf of the dev team to get this mobile title into shape. One key area of concern? Cheaters.
“We are aware that some players are cheating in the game,” the team posted. “We understand how unfair this is to those of you who are playing the game as intended, so we are working diligently to address this issue and our hope is that you will see this problem getting better very soon. We are 100% committed to getting this resolved as soon as possible.”
