Oh really? What did they do? This was my original question.

It would not bother me if they reset everyone right after the merge, which is when they should have done it. The various protections would have given everyone time to restock. It is too late, now, to effect any server wide changes ..... This has already been discussed.

I do, which is why I said previously "I know it would take quite a lot of effort to investigate these issues..." Actually reading the thread, rather than being condescending for the sake of it, would probably save you the effort of asking questions that have already been answered.

See above. Already discussed. Although, I do not think it would be super difficult to run a search on a server for all people with, lets say, lumber over 10 or 20 billion and start there. Lets be clear: if they wanted to do something, they would have .... even to a few people who abused the exploit extraordinarily. Have they done anything? I haven't heard a peep. BTW .. it is Evony's job to come up with the solution, not ours. I think their solution was, effectively, "complaints if we do nothing=1000, complaints if we do something drastic to correct the playing field=1000000. Solution = do nothing." As a business decision, do nothing makes perfect sense.

See doubly above. Additionally, "right now" was when the glitch was fixed by evony several weeks ago almost right before the round of mergers. Damage has, for the most part, been done. Of course is was exacerbated by the "no upkeep" fiasco after the mergers .... but now that is over they are all starving to the tune of -5B/hr, -10B/hr, etc. I assume they have some stockpiles of hundreds of billions of food somewhere that some can survive off of, but eventually that will disappear also.

As I said before: All questions have been asked and answered. Close the thread now.
