No. We still do consider those using bots to be cheaters and we do still actively track down and take disciplinary action against those players who choose to cheat, up to and including permanently banning their accounts.
I think Evony found that it did not get many views and player's didn't really look at it. That's why they may have taken the announcement down.
It brought the idea of botting to players who would not have pursued it on their own by putting a big message in their face "hey, you don't really have to spend 4 hours a day farming"
In actuality it was removed because it shows that Evony doesn't have any preventitives in place.
I'm sure when people saw that message they had to find out what botting meant, and viewed as beneficial when they learned of it's function. Making the problem worse.
What other announcements did they take down? Did anyone notice? Did anyone care? Probably not. You only noticed the one about botting taken down because that gives you a chance to jump on your soap box and gripe about Evony CS service, or their stance on something or some other aspect of Evony/UMGE you don't like.
Eh, I never noticed it was there until I saw it mentioned and never noticed it was gone, again, until I saw it mentioned.
I have no soap box, the CS is horrible. I have better things to gripe about (the snow, my kids' room not being clean, you know real life).
I am still waiting for them to do something about the player that threatened to track me down in real life, and said I should get raped..
they dont seem to mind if ppl use bots, i kept reporting, had proof, lots of proof still but nah, they dont seem to mind........bad news for honest ppl.
Translation: Blah blah blah Lipservice blah blah blah lipservice about how evony has an anti-bot STANCE, blah blah blah evony won't ever prove they've done anything, because EVONY WON'T if they ban all botters the game goes away, this lip service and announcement was to SHUT UP THE COMPLAINERS by making them believe something is going on "behind the scenes", but pay no attention to the man behind the curtain playing WOW.

If nobody ever gets banned for using a bot, why do we have complaint threads from those who were banned?
