Anyone can reach KoG. I already have 10 so not going to keep playing. Also yes I'm well aware of cheating and helping by surrendering to friends so they can get KoG. Most of us don't get KoG legit but will deny it.
I could careless and admit to having a group of players in a chat boost me to KoG several times.A few offered to give me cheat tools if I join their team, but I passed.
So yeah no need to lie that players are cheating and exploiting the game. Every single one of us in KoG know it and most have done it and continue to do it because we are lazy or feel entitled. I'm guilty too of being lazy and wanting to finish 10 KoG fast.
