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.
Low hanging fruit.

I too would like botting gone. I'm completely convinced that oodles of people on my server are doing it now. It's only become more obvious since we've started having more grays than blues. Under 500k Knight and Baronet accounts that have billions upon billions of all kinds of resources. People running around with these super-mega sized mech armies that still have billions of food in multiple cities.

At this point, this is one of many forms of cheating that has been removed. Bots, account-sharing, and multi-accounting are by far the most pervasive, but I'll take whatever I can get at this point. It puts my "tiny" cities on a bit more even footing since people now can't treat mechs like purchases on credit cards, living outside of their means.

This outburst today does show though that nothing really happened with Operation Cererbus (or however you spell it), since there has been no uproar at all. Hopefully this will have an indirect effect because their large mech armies are now unsustainable, even with botting. That's my hope...and you know what they say...
