It is not too complicated for me.
But you are in over your head.
I posted my reply.
I cannot use smaller words.
Good luck with a reply that has you coming off as something other than a dolt.

Here's an idea, go start a forum just so you can vent, and invite all your cheater friends over so they can vent too. That will accomplish just as much as venting here: nothing. It really is too bad your forum login isn't tied to your game account such that if you get banned/suspended from the game you cannot log into the forums, either.
Evony doesn't even want discussion about it because when people come to this forum, the last thing evony wants is any mention of people hating the company or it's policies... not necessarily anything wrong with that since they are a company and PR is extremely important.
However on that note of "public relations," I think evony is making a HUGE mistake with the way they are handling b.o.t use. Say what you want about b.o.t use and I have heard people say it's c.h.e.a.t.i.n.g but the only reason I have ever seen given for why it's wrong is because "it's against the rules" with no thought given as to the reason so many people used it. If evony had a built-in farming scheduler not only would the game be more balanced to those who have less time to play but it would also be more enjoyable all around. I know I speak for almost all b.o.t users when I say they don't want an "edge", they just want to be able to live life talk to people they know etc, not click buttons robotically. Now of course that's 'wrong' because it is against the rules but is a person wrong for wanting to use something that everyone has access to, do all that clicking for them? I don't know a single person that LIKES to click buttons like that all day. Whenever there is something repetitive and boring we humans create a tool to do it for us... not using a farming scheduler is like a person inventing the wheel but cant use it because it's 'against the rules.'
What I see evony doing is the same thing that has happened for centuries since the beginning of time:
1. There is a problem, certain people try to do things a different way.
2. The large organization refuses to acknowledge the problem and instead persecutes those who are not doing things their way.
Happened with christians under rome, protestants under the roman catholic empire, america under england...but guess what? So many people end up doing the thing that the organization that is trying to squash it had to eventually accept it and even embrace it in alot of cases through history and even other games similar to evony!
The only one that says b.o.t use is wrong is the company and the people that also say it's wrong, say it's wrong because the company says it's wrong!
Farming scheduling should be in evony and I sincerely hope it is in the beta
Thank you a well thought out and interesting post.
I disagree with the context that someone had to c. heat.
But I understand the motivations. And I might have taken that temptation at some point.
But I chose not to do so. I never assumed I was more moral or somehow superior. Nor have I assumed that those who c. heat were less moral or inferior.
They just deserve to be sanctioned.
Well, you wanted a place to vent, and are acting like the cheaters are your friends, or are on their side. What are we supposed to think? That you don't like them, and want nothing to do with them? As I said previously, go make a forum where you and them can vent since that is what you want.
Ashanta does have a point in that if you want to vent, don't plan on doing it on the evony forums... there are other forums and theoretically anybody could set up an invisionfree board or something for free and with a little self-advertising prowess could get it going. hint hint
