    ok ok ok, so maybe he is the bottter and doesnt want to have to code for the captcha?

    makes sense to me lol

    this thread is funny.

    The fact that you cannot type the word "B O T". into the forum without it being replaced with "***" shows evony's anti-automated program strategy: Do nothing but censor those who speak out against how easily automated programs can be run against evony.

    Captcha would be either pointless or detrimental to the game. If you made a captcha for the login sequence then the *** writers would just scrape the captcha and present it to the botter at login time so they can type it in and then the *** takes over. At best this means that the *** does't autologin after server reset.

    Or you could present a captcha at random intervals in the game which would drive human players nuts.

    As for the *** writers being amateurs, how many of them do you know and how much do you know about programming?

    If Evony was smart they would be asking what is causing people to *** and then find a way to capitalize on that deficiency either through some sort of cents program or eliminating the benefits of the ***.

    You'd put a notification that tells the users the benefits of the captcha and that it keeps them from being cheated, also I'd not run it at random intervals, It'd work better as a gateway for game actions like attacks, and building upgrades. To address the advantage gained by "b o t s" in the game would be to simply allow everyone all the benefits of the "b o t" If the game is already fully automated, who'd want to play it?

    Well lets look at it from this aspect:
    **** are easy to make, it only takes basic (even high school level) programming to make one. If you have ever taken a programming class, you would know how easy it is to automate and loop things to make it easier for the user. Not all people making the **** are amateurs, but the vast majority of them are.

    You might also want to consider, maybe someone out there is better than you at something, and might know more than you. Instead of assuming that everyone has such a limited knowlege as yourself.

    Please READ my posts carefully be4 you try to flame/insult me. Only YOU can prevent redundance

    Thumbs down bye evony$$$

    Well evony, i play, my wife plays, my son and his wife play, my daughter and her husband play. It seems you have suspended all 6 of us paying customers for multiple accounts, since we all play on the same computer network at times and we dont use cheats.
    The consequences of this is you will now only have 1 person in this house and network ever play again and that person will never again pay one cent for anything. What have you accomplished with your poor customer relations by driving away 5 regular players and about $700 a month that we were paying you?

    there are already 3 new ones being coded as we speak 1 for evony and 2 for evony age II

    And its a shame evony staff dont put as much attention into customer relations as they do into deleting legit posts that do not break the rules or put as much effort into the rest of the game instead of spending all there time on filtering words like girl lol

    well i guess thats me banned lol

    If you have to PAY for it, then people won't, they'll run THEIR automated program for FREE.
