Really Lord.Rex? Maybe you should keep your mouth shut when you don't know what you're talking about. Unless you're one of the people on the receiving end of that email address, then you clearly don't. Below is the letter that I sent to the address you referenced back on 12/21/12.

Support,
I've got a very serious issue that I would appreciate a solid response to from someone that is knowledgeable on the situation. I've got very strong reason to believe that someone within Haypi's internal organization is either playing one or more accounts on Server 93, in a non support role, or is providing information to certain people on Server 93 that they have no business providing to them. Specifically, I'm referring to the idea that someone within Haypi's organization has viewed or recovered the password to a low level account in my alliance that does not really play on Server 93; she is still actively engaged on Server 118 and hardly ever logs into her Server 93 account.
I've been in direct communication with the original owner of the account in question that we believe was accessed with the help of someone in Haypi support. She's a very good friend of mine and confirms without a doubt that she has not been on that account for many days, with the exception being two nights ago when I asked her to change her account email and password due to concerns over accounts being accessed by someone other than the account owner.
She has confirmed that she changed both and that no one else has access to the email address and password... Yet at the same time that a player in another ally was telling my alliance leader our exact numbers (catapults in mine, catapults at home, catapults dispatching, alliance money, alliance coins, etc), that account suddenly appeared online in the alliance member list.
I know for a fact that it wasn't her and I strongly believe that someone within Haypi has given out her account information for the purpose of someone obtaining detailed information on our entire alliance OR that someone in support provided direct details about our alliance even without accessing that account at all.
I would like to know your thoughts. From someone high in the support chain, please. I have to imagine that no one in Haypi management would condone members of their own support team playing a competitive role on a server and/or divulging private alliance details to any non support player. I would also question such a severe breach of ethics by anyone within the Haypi organization against active players that regularly spend real money in order to get an advantage in this game. Any activity that takes away from an advantage gained by people who choose to spend real money on that advantage is the effective equivalent of stealing money from those individuals.
I would appreciate a detailed response with as much information as you're able to provide regarding your investigation and its findings, as well as an initial acknowledgement to this email. Specific accounts and personnel to call into question are the NewLady account and the Yoyo support individual, if not other support individuals from other servers as well.
I will follow up on the Haypi forums with the proof that I have for this and will ask others for their proof of similar things if I am unhappy with the amount of attention I feel this is receiving.
Thank you for your time. We wish to get this answered and resolved in a timely manner so as to go on playing this game as we've enjoyed doing for the past 3-4 years or to file a complaint as we see fit due to a severe breach of ethics as well as lack of a sufficient response from the Haypi team, if that ends up being the case.
Thank you
Edited To Add: I just searched the Haypi forums to ensure that I email the proper address. In my search, I discovered a very interesting thread that specifically refers to these exact same group of individuals (the China alliance and all of their "New" account - NewDragon, NewMimi, Newlady) and the multiple instances of them cheating and having much more than an even possible advantage/lead in multiple servers. In fact, I even emailed support myself at the beginning of Server 93 regarding the very questionable results that they were attaining in such a short period of time.
These individuals either ARE support, in which case I'll be petitioning Apple to return all of the money that I've placed into Haypi Kingdom since Server 93 began, or they are individuals that have severely broken the rules (and perhaps laws) with what they have been doing. Whichever the case may be, the support staff is being grossly negligent in not taking care of those players properly.

Support,
I have heard no follow up on this matter. Are you conducting an investigation into this extremely questionable play?
Thank you

A third follow-up was sent on 12/28/12:

Support,
I first wrote to you 8 days ago. You have not replied to me since. I will take this as confirmation that support has been playing competitively within the game that they expect others to pay money to in order to compete with the support team.
This is absolutely ridiculous.
Thank you for continuing to ignore me.

In addition to that, the references that BeastMode made about Yoyo showing favoritism toward players such as FallenZaku (formerly JewzakuII) has been very apparent. While he receives troops back to his city, within a day or two, that he lost during a battle in which the software glitched out and wouldn't let him command... I received a letter back from Yoyo stating that there was no war report for the time mentioned when the exact same thing happened to me in a battle AGAINST FallenZaku. She then asked me to provide the DATE and time (because apparently writing support on the date that it happened, minutes after the battle concluded wasn't enough to deduce the date) and has not answered that follow up response from me nor 3 that I've written since then in the 9 days since it happened.
So, I'll repeat. Unless you're at the receiving end of the email you referenced, you'll do best to not look like an idiot if you don't try to act like you know things which you don't.
