When I first joined evony during AP testing, when I didn't want to study so just pretended by playing Civony and following the little quest, I was floored. It was a pretty simple game, free, and it blew through my time pretty effectively. But now, the more I play, the more I realize that a lot of people on the site are beyond powerhungry-- they are words that would only be censored.
I understand attacking people, we've all done it, it's the purpose of the game. I get wars, I get the huge sweeps of attacks, I get wanting to steal cities, to aquire resources, to get medals... What I don't understand is continuously attacking an active members single city just for spite. I don't understand the logic and I'm stunned by people's incompetence when it comes to diplomacy.
So a single city keeps getting attacked. Loyalty sinks, public grievance climbs, population drops, riots occur, heros bail, etc. But the person doing the attacking is getting few resources, no medals, little prestige and honor...so what's the point? Why attack a city you can't take?
Is it to be irritating? Is it to make some sort of statement? Is it an attempt to get people to quit the game?
For people who do not buy the cents to get teleports and truce agreements, these hostile neighbors ruin the game and it's a shame. The purpose of the game is to advance your own rank, not to robotically attack cities with no resources, no loyalty and that cannot be taken.
Maybe I'm just ranting, but I think attacking someone just to be irritating or whatever the purpose is (as in, they aren't attacking for resources, prestige, honor, etc), is a form of harassment and I'm sick of seeing the chill people on the site quit because there are people who get powertrips out of this kind of play.
