Today FM have announced changes they are making to Team Competitions from 8.5 as follows:
• All gold reward tiers in TCs now award the same amount of gold
• Gold rewards have been lowered for top tiers and slightly increased for lower tiers
• Total gold given out per TC is slightly lowered
• R$ rewards in TCs remain unchanged
This is until they come up with a better technical solution to prevent hackers in TCs. They can't/won't do it manually.
This is not a perfect solution, but it's at least a sign to show that they take the issue seriously and keep working on it.
