    Default Cheaters have been given more than enough chances.

    Quote from Dawnseeker -

    "Cheaters have been given more than enough chances. Botter accounts will not be re-opened under any circumstances."

    Couldn't agree with you more, except you seemed to have missed the target.

    ...for a little more background, here's a quote from Foxy Bunny, just a few days ago -

    "We are aware that some changes need to be made, and we've now implemented those changes.

    There will be no double jeopardy. Those who learn their lesson and stop cheating will not get in trouble again.

    Those who don't learn or who think this is fun to get a free holiday will be crying in their cheerios next time.

    We have lots of changes in the works, so please don't get discouraged. Our goal is to ensure a good game for our honest players. "


    Any explanation as to why the person who was put on Holiday for the first time (first warning) has their acct closed as soon as they come out of Holiday (before even given the chance to commit an infraction again), when they have more than a handful of friends who have received multiple warnings, went back to b.o.t.ing right after the same Holiday warning, and were not banned?

    Seems like double jeopardy to me.
    -----------------
    What's wrong is wrong (cheating is cheating), but as a player who was beat on by a b.o.t.ting alliance for over 3 months, and finally got fed up to the point of fighting fire with fire, the Evony staff seems to be nothing more than a joke lately.

    I started on a new server, spent over hundreds of dollars trying to hang with those up front, and realized it was going to take more than just money, and honest play, to keep up. (Mind you, I literally average over 16hrs a day on this game. Have for 5 months) I get popped in the 02/28 sweep (first warning, on any server) and then my acct gets closed as soon as it comes out three days later.

    My resources didn't get wiped, my troops didn't get zero'd, just a nice friendly email stating my account was closed and no response from Evony's ever so helpful Customer non-Service dept.

    It'd be nice to have a little interaction on this topic, but I'm sure it'll just get deleted, or closed after first response.

    ugh... Makes me cringe to think I ever spent a penny on this game. As another user posted earlier today, this game is crumbling, FAST.

    The sad thing is... I enjoy this game so much, I would have considered going back to the painstaking manual farming process even if my troops and resources were wiped.

    PS - All I see in these forums is threads being deleted/closed, and every person with an issue, comment, or suggestion on this topic being called fraudulent. Knock. Knock. This group, collectively (both legitimate and cheaters), is your paying customer base. They play your game every day, and have suggestions on what to do to make them spend more money. Ever thought of listening? Maybe they prefer to have more troops and battle it out, maybe the joy isn't found in repetitively upgrading buildings to build prestige; just maybe, no one wants to play farmony...

    I agree, I know someone who was put on holiday for using a third party software to farm, it was the first time they were 'put on holiday' or 'caught using 3rd party software', but sure enough right out of the holiday less than 2 hours later they were perma-banned, I also know that one of my friends had AUTOCENTS taken out of thier account and 2 hours later were banned, now that itsnt right, and no they were not even given the chance to farm manually..... well anyways this thread will be closed in like 5 minutes anyways, but seriously fix the troop upkeep and there won't be this problem, if I wanted to play farmville I would be on facebook.

    They are trying to suck as much money out of people as they can, as fast as they can. With Evony Age II around the corner they will try to claim it is run by different people. Evony age I is going to try to cut and run with all the money it is stealing right now.

    Speak with your money and do a chargeback. (assuming you paid by credit card).

    No, they're claiming Age II is all them. ...the problem is they are claiming that a lot of the issues / bugs (such as the ridiculous upkeep) with Age I that have been brought up, have been somewhat ignored because they will be resolved with Age II, when clearly, Age II is nothing but an attempt to pack as many purchasable items in as possible. As most of you have seen this week, Evony cares about one thing, net income.

    But to keep this on topic... My initial point was all the false claims of "fraudulent activity" by the mods and reps, when they're being just as fraudulent by closing accts of players who have never before been given a warning, yet most of the long term b.o.t.ters are still out playing away. (most still using their automation software) ...and here I am staring at the login screen, wishing I would have just been given a chance to rethink my actions.

    It's a great move to be pro-active, and get rid of the cheating; heck, I was one of the biggest anti-b.o.t.ters out there, until sitting through the months of being beat on, reporting players over and over, with no results. (until they finally started the free holiday stint, which left me thinking "hmm.. why am I wasting my time, I could use a free break every once in a while, and the endless resources and troop counts would be nice."

    Wrong? Yes, I understand. But Evony's procrastination on the subject caused the whole occurrence, and now I get to watch the same players continue on as I can't even log in to the home page.

    You know.. I'm considering it (yes mods, we get that you think it's fraudulent that someone would want to do a charge back, no matter the situation. ...and that Evony would NEVER commit any type of fraud.), but honestly, I would just like to continue on with my daily routine of the past six months.

    Is that really asking too much?

    We're not discussing botting or the bans anymore. We're not overturning the bans and we're not considering doing so. No amount of forum threads will change that. I'm sorry you don't like the rules, but they are not flexible in this instance.

    Stop making these threads.
