The Devs Ruined Scouts -OR- The Devs Fixed Scouts?

Please read my explanation of scout mechanics later on in this thread: http://bbs.evony.com/showthread.php?p=207554#40

Been supporting a huge scout army to protect your city from being scouted? Well guess what? They are totally useless. Something happened in a recent patch that made it so even with your gates open and 110k scout sitting inside - someone can send *1* scout and get a report without you even knowing.
I suspected something when I kept getting scout reports while sending minimal scouts. And even though my cities are loaded with scouts, I have not detected a single scouting.
This is a completely ridiculous change to the game. There is no point to having scouts anymore. Anyone can be scouted.
EDIT TO ADD: No, the devs did not fix scouts. The scout situation did not need to be fixed. Instead, they have ruined scouts and I do not appreciate the subject title of this thread being changed.
100+k scouts just sitting and eating food.

Lol, I got this scout report with one, yes hungry, but only one little scout. Bet he was not as hungry as the 100k I scouted in city. I am only guessing at weather his gates are open or closed. I will let you look and be judge of that.
