**Platform, device version and operating system** Playstation 4 Pro **Screenshot or image** [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBd2eRIcXME) **What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened** \_There should be the spend 50 gold to scout option while exploring. \_Auto-Scout is enabled when I perform the steps, even though I do not possess the feature or VIP level. **How often does this happen? When did it begin happening?** \_Any time I perform the steps to activate the glitch. **Steps to make it happen again** \_I immediately started up the game, went to my explore, and saw the spend 50 gold to scout option. After which, I went to PVP, Battle Log, Clicked the top player, and clicked Fight. I immediately backed out and went back to explore to find that the auto-explore feature was once again enabled for all my kingdoms/explores. The above steps work for me EVERY time, no matter how many times I restart the application, or lose the auto-scout due to server refresh. Viewing a team in PVP disables the glitch as well as restarting the application, but I can immediately re-enable the glitch using the above method. I hope this helps you Devs! ---

This bug is really old,but never saw anyone report it,it first happened to me before the new guild tasks.They fix positive bugs really fast,and fix negatives one slow as a turtle,so i stopped reporting bugs because of this “discrimination”. ---

Thanks for the input. I’ll take that to heart for the next time I decide to report a bug for them, since it would appear that I may have wasted my time - but we’ll see. If anything, at least this will let people take advantage of their slow response to fixing issues and get some free auto-scouting. ---

A bug that help the players,like this will be fixed minutes after they saw your post dont worry.If you report a bug,that makes things harder for players though…thats a different story.Im not negative,or anything,thats whats happening,no offense intented,its just the truth. ---

They only respond slow if the bug adversely affects players. Anything we benefit from is fixed with lightning speed. ---

I honestly don’t see this as a HUGE advantage for the players, but it is an advantage nonetheless. A bug’s a bug though, so I figured I’d report it, whether it helps us or not, it’ll all eventually get patched. May as well cut our losses sooner than later and be done with it. ---

Does the unpaid auto-scouting only work on Explore, or does it happen in PVP too? ---

From what I’ve experimented with and gathered, it’s only for Explore. In fact, viewing teams in PVP actually DISABLES the glitch. ---

Explore only ---

I’ve been playing this game 2 years now and this bug has been around as long as I can remember. I stumbled across it no long after I started playing the game, there really isn’t any benefit from it. ---

> [@mld-81](#): > > Explore only Then it isn’t really a big deal. You can essentially ‘auto-scout’ by entering and retreating from battles at no cost (except for time). ---

Yeah,always found it funny,that it never got fixed,Sometimes it actually shows the pvp teams too.They never found the bug obviously. ---

Exactly. Why would anyone scout in explore anyway? ---

Maybe just for weekly events if you’re trying to farm particular troop-types or mana colors. I do so much explore it never much matters, but if they ever run a “kill 300 constructs in explore” event, I’d think about it. ---

True but it doesn’t take seconds to go in and retreat to get a different team. I’ve never seen it in PvP though, just explore. ---

If it was more beneficial I’d have kept it from the eyes of the Devs, but this just makes them look tacky, which is why I reported it. It really isn’t that useful, and it’s like I said, it’s more of a nuisance than anything to have the “free auto-scouting” activated. I’d only see use in it for PVP, which you can’t do, or at least that I’ve found. ---

> [@Orochi2018](#): > > I cant reproduce the pvp team showing part In that case, maybe it will just be a 50 gold workaround in the occasional week where people want to farm explore for particular troop-types. No real harm to the devs, the economy or any other player.
