So Look: Evony is here to make money, agreed? THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH A COMPANY MAKING MONEY. Now once again, lets leave the prices/value of coins aside for a second.
Now; people who did all the bad things mentioned in previous posts; without a doubt these people were able to tilt the server. I am sure that a majority of the people doing those nefarious things also went about and attacked a lot of other players. Those players who got beat on, ground down and had no chance at survival probably gave up on the game without buying cents.
To put it in perspective Evony bashed the che@ter Che@ter pumpkin eaters because in reality they were doing more to limit Evony's player base of paying customers then anything else.
People will say that those who did the naughty things were also buying game cents and thus Evony is losing money that way. As has been stated by the Admins they discussed that and they drew their line in the sand. I agree with that line, as well as many people I believe. This was an economic decision as not if not more then an issue of integrity. But to be honest, if people now know that when they join the game that this could happen then I believe as many people will buy game coin as opposed to those who now will not.
If you were caught and banned- and you maintain you did absolutely wrong I feel for you. But once again, it has happened. To those who use the "Everyone else is doing it so i had to" argument; you may want to go ask your mother how well that argument worked for you as a kid.
Remember, it is a game and so we choose to be here. Have fun with it. And if you want to flame or troll- at least do it with a bit of humor.
Originality is the key to good hygiene.
