> [@Flint](#): > > I assume when the developers say that the RNG doesn’t favor the player they’re factoring in many things - different game modes, larger sample sizes, and so on. Thus the player who experiences a rigged AI and complains can be correct, while the developers who claim the opposite can also be correct because they are quantifying the effect differently. The developers of the game have been quite clear on this point. They haven’t hid behind weaselly words or double talk when it comes to the topic of a cheating/rigged AI. They have stated in no uncertain terms that the AI does not turn on secret cheat code to ensure victory. So, you either believe they are lying when they state that they have run hundreds of tests to ensure the AI isn’t developing magical (rigged) luck, or you don’t. * * * Here is the link where Sirrian shows the results of some of their internal tests: > [@Dear devs, please fix your cheating AI on console](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/dear-devs-please-fix-your-cheating-ai-on-console/20562/47): > > So we actually ran some tests on the AI last week, because we’re hearing a few complaints here… we simulated input from the human player, and ran 816 matches overnight on one of our console test kits. The simulation uses the AI to determine the human player’s move, but that only provides input for which Gems to switch & spells to cast… in ALL other respects the actual Gem Board can’t tell whether that input comes from a Human Player or an AI player. For the record: a) This was done with all c… * * * In this link, Sirrian discusses how these same accusations came up with Puzzle Quest. There were people that were so convinced the AI was rigged. So, the devs released the code for people to see and no cheating was found. > [@Dear devs, please fix your cheating AI on console](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/dear-devs-please-fix-your-cheating-ai-on-console/20562/2): > > Hi GREEK, Nothing cheating here, sorry - in fact we cheat in your favor for a bunch of levels early in the game. I believe the console AI is still missing some moves randomly too… so it’s a little easier in general. Regarding the recall bias… I’m sorry to say that’s exactly what is happening.

Of course, it never goes anywhere since if someone wants to be convinced the AI is rigged there is nothing the devs can say to convince them otherwise. > **For those new to this, here are some more quotes from Sirrian on the topic:** > > [How often are YOU running into the "super lucky" opponents? - #87 by Sirrian](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/how-often-are-you-running-into-the-super-lucky-opponents/20082/87) > > [Guild War - PvP - Card Imbalances - Cheating AI.
