Someone suggested that they will not boot an account because they are afraid that people will contact their credit card companies and file fraud or other claims and seek to get their money back.
Well, if that is the case, then all the honest players have a bigger claim, and for the same reason. We are told we must adhere to the ToS. If Evony does not enforce the rules, then that is defacto FRAUD the moment they take your money. And this is actionable under US Federal Law as Wire Fraud.
Now Evony can fix it very easy. Simply modify the ToS to state that any breaking of the rules can result in termination of the account, and NO REFUNDS will be given as the player willingly and deliberately broke the ToS. End of Story, problem goes away, players get booted with no recourse.
Until such time as Evony decides which players are more important to their future, I recommend that NO ONE pay any more money to play these games.
Evony, the next move is yours. Your reputation is on the line, and you can certainly become known as the game site for cheaters only.
What is it going to be?
