I play on Server 6. Not too long ago, a matter of a couple of weeks even, I knocked several inactives around me to 0 loyalty. Within the following maintenance, sometimes within the very next hour, those who weren't hosts/founders/cent-purchasers were gone, with new flats for me to take over and use. While I can't speak for other servers, I don't see what the problem here on Server 6 is, unless someone has the extraordinary bad luck of being completely surrounded by hosts/founders/cent-purchasers, or just can't be bothered to zero out the inactives around them.
As for NPCs clogging up the place, Evony's offered several times to delete NPCs. The reaction of players was outrage, including threats to quit, boycott, or sue Evony over it. Ironically, Evony gets similar outrage for not doing it.
I also find it ironic that players try to coax Evony into doing this or that by saying it's a great idea because they'd make money from it, then later if Evony does something the players don't like, they insult Evony by saying they're a bunch of greedy jerks whose actions are entirely motivated by money. What a lovely double-standard.
The pursuit of player's happiness is quite hard when Evony players expect Evony to both delete and not delete NPCs in a single move, amongst other paradoxes (like, 'we want a merge, we don't want a merge, we all want to be happy, so do both things at once').
I think players need to stop pointing fingers and blaming Evony for everything and look at the bigger picture: there's many player opinions about what Evony should do, not all opinions agree with one another, and no single opinion takes precedence over another. Other players not agreeing with your personal opinion isn't Evony's fault, and it's ridiculous when one half wants Evony to do this and that, and the other half doesn't want Evony to do this and that, and then both sides say Evony sucks and is stupid/incompetent/etc. because they didn't make "the obvious choice that will make everyone happy".
Contrary to whatever belief seems to be out there, Evony is not and can't be omnipotent, and it's not easy at all for Evony to make customers happy when they want opposing things and expect Evony to do things their way instead of "the other guy's way".
EDIT: Since this thread is closed and I don't want to override the decision of my fellow moderator, and it wouldn't be appropriate for someone to create a new thread to address me or a closed topic, I'll add the comment here that anyone with the desire to respond to my post is free to drop me a private or visitor message, it doesn't really matter which.
