I agree botting will never die and it will go on as long as this game is up and running. As for duplicate accounts I say the duplicate accounts will lead onto finding botted accounts and the shared accounts. So I say go after duplicate accounts and the rest will follow.
The MAC of a network device is never transmitted past the first router from the device. Each router keeps a track of all of the MACs attached to it for local communication within that same LAN/VLAN only. This means that in order for Evony to obtain MAC addresses, they would have to seek court orders to direct ISPs to divulge them. Not going to happen.
It is so obvious and that i agree.
A player that is in this game long enough & have learned about botting will know what is botting like.Finding 200 names that bots isnt a problem now.One doesnt need the evony tech & background info to do it.
It is so widespread now,i agree on that too.
Operation Cerberus fails,why? same suggestion,try not to have a bot scan or the server maintainance scan sticking on one set of timing,that even the newest player will know when it is.Try to have 2 server maintainance scan a day(maybe 3) on a direct opposite timing for a week,maybe 2 weeks. Cerberus would be able to find more bots.
Evony may have the right tools to detect botting,but perhaps methods & time isnt carried out right?
Botting will never die,but at least it should be minimise & be reduced. Not to the extend of widespreading and growing in numbers,with players saying Bot rules and honest play suks.
At least evony gets a 2nd chance to try whereby he could possibly be the only few capable of carrying our words to them.
i still bear some hope.
i heard a merge is coming,but it would also spell the end of my game too.
Imagine,Bots vs real life players.After a new merge,in a new world of botter rules and honest player suks...i really wouldnt dare think further.
i'll choose not to pay to fight bots anymore.
No, But to prove it and make it stick without a doubt requires more proof than someones say so. Your average botter will fade away quietly if he gets caught. What evony are trying to do is prevent the debacle of their first major sweep where many innocent people got incorrectly banned.
Otherwise. You are a botter and I can get you banned because you closed the gates on my scoutbomb. Hearsay, just doesn't cut it.
All you have to do to defeat botters is read their forums. Find the weakness's that their own people complain about and exploit them.
For example, none of them handle mech defenses very well.
Mixing troops on attacks that you would normally do differently can change the result.
Ever had someone send a scout bomb with 5k cav? They are trying to see if your gate will close or stay open.
You just have to do your homework to defeat them.
Capping a botters city is also possible, but takes an alliance wide effort to send enough attacks to ensure there is little time for resources to get sent for comforting. Still very hard to do.
But not impossible if you study the resources available.
