So how to distinguish between licit and illicit activities? Basically the first aspect to consider is that practically all software external to Supercell are seen as an attempt of hacking or some other illegal activity (just think of the bots that do our job while we sleep at night). Too easy to say 'just don't cheat.' Yes it's true, but it has to be said that there are some tricks for Clash of Clans or other tools that make your life easier and that many users don't know whether to use because they fear the ban.
That's why the Clash of Clans ban has always been one of the most feared by the net. There's nothing more irritating than being banned from a game after tens or hundreds of hours spent and millions of experience points accumulated.
