Please fix exploits which make use of custom scenarios to cheat points and wins.

To be a ranked game, it has to be potentially fair. And the system will force a game to be set as practice when it is potentially exploitable. (Note: A practice game means it does not award points and achievements).
But let's take a look at this:
Games with AI - must be practice
Games with uneven teams - must be practice
Games with exploitable custom scenarios - can be ranked
It is a big exploit. How come the system could leave the last ones behind? That's why we have a case where a cheater can get to Level 41 with 3 rigged games only.
To make things worse, they disguise them as normal games to trick people, and the system is encouraging them to keep going by rewarding them with points now. I have to say it works very well. There are always enough prey to fall for that, even players with high levels. That's why it is very profitable.
Think about the gaming experience people have after being tricked in this way. I believe some new players leave because of that. It is not good when their first impression is Warlight is full of cheaters and scammers. We must do something to maintain the health of this community.
I'm seeing rigged games essentially every day, Fizzer. I think you are so concerned about fairness (and it is the main reason why you removed nearly all luck in ladder templates recently, right?), but how come you could leave such a big exploit behind? Is it fair to others who earn points in an honest and hard way?
Fizzer, you can do something, and it is very easy. Just force all those games to set as practice only. Problems are solved once and for all. The community is better without rigged games. Thank you.
