If you have special ways to get this information, why are you ignoring the massive problem that botting truly is? If anything takes advantage and manipulates mechanics, then its a program that runs your account for you in both farming/hitting/defending/and even moving heros around to que troops. Programs that pray for you and set truces.
It's a fair question Laz.

You're not going to find a single member of the Evony team that is happy with the level of cheating and botting. We get bot reports daily, and we're able to catch just about all of the bots out there now. We are working on this situation actively, and are suspending botters in limited quantities across servers in order to test our tools and make sure they are working appropriately. Once we're satisfied with our level of accuracy we're going to be suspending a lot more people per sweep, and sweeping weekly if not daily.

Bots are cheating, and cheating at any game, let alone a pvp game isn't something I care for. (Unless it's chess, then I often invoke the ancient ruleset, "full contact".)
