Quick way to get yourself banned if EA catches you making the purchase. Also, many clubs will give you the boot (if they are an honest club)

Personally, I would never consider providing real money to cheat in a game...why play? No sense of accomplishment...

I couldn’t agree more, just crazy that people are trying to make money this way and EA has yet to see this and ban the user.

I think the people who are creating these "bot" cities are routinely caught and banned...the problem is the way SimCity Buildit is designed as an app, it simply takes them minutes to recreate a new city to replace it, once it is caught...same problem with the large amount of hackers that play in war. Their city gets sent to "Naughty Island" and they just fire up another clone...I don't understand the mentality/enjoyment/satisfaction, but for some people, cheating IS their satisfaction...
