Lets be real, most people bot now,and wont go back to not botting, because of time and food. Majority of people will never go back to farming 12 plus hours a day. The old days when 100-300k archers in a city was a decent city is a joke these days. One rainbow will only take down walls if there are no troops in the city. You used to have to coordinate several people attacking a city to take it, on a decent player. If evony used automated farming, free for everyone, perhaps made the wheel a lil more up to date instead of thinking 1 mil food is a big deal, and increased production of your own resource fields the game could be viable again without botting. Then you can actually ban botting and enforce it without a revolt. People can have a decent amount of troops still, you would have more capped cities without the trucing, praying etc.....and you can still have a life. Can even have it still be you need the troops to farm, but once you have built your farm teams they automatically start farming. Heck, you can even change regeneration of full npcs from 8 hours to 4. Then people wouldn't have to have huge areas to farm with longer troop marches and such. Less time would go into maintenance of your cities and more time into fighting. You would eliminate the valley hunting of bots and make it harder for promotion, evony would make more money off people buying medal boxes again. Evony has done this to itself with its inability to adapt. Plus when you are attacking from one city, your other cities aren't being punished, they are still farming. I am sure these are not the easiest things to implement, but overall would bring much more substance back to the game. It would overall improve the game and bring back the competition and activity and probably even draw in new players again. The players would be happier and evony would make more money again, everyone wins.
i would rather see some fundamental changes like these implemented rather then the horse crap spells and magic, alliance cooldown, and now comforting prices doubling every use. to me those issues are taking more away from the game then the actual botting.
