    Well I can't exactly say "All of this is correct, 100%" since I'm not an employee LOL

    plausible deniability just in case any of that is deemed an exploit

    Legit, part and parcel of playing

    Legit, you paid for holiday, you shouldn't be penalised for your timing

    Totally legit, cost of this is no walls and time taken between caps, therefore still providing a window of opportunity for your target.

    Completely legit, effective use of the items supplied by Evony

    Totally legit, there's nothing in the rules to even HINT that this is wrong, it's a way for your players to help each other, while still adhering to Evony's attempt to stop unfair advantage.

    REALLY wish Evony would fix this, but unfortunately don't think it can be done. Perhaps if they gave an "ignore attack" option in the Enemy screen, so that you could select to have your bird not blink for elected attacks.

    This one is questionable/debatable. The profanity usually used for these alliance names is against the rules, and yet we all know it happens. Evony have made an attempt to stop people doing this by putting in place a bar against making more than 1 alliance per day now (back on s16 you could make as many as you wanted).

    lol, Brilliant. Legit, since there's nothing wrong with ignoring the fearful cries of your target.

    Well... I'd say this is an exploit, can't really see that it overly advantages anyone to the detriment of another, but I'm sure someone will. Certainly don't think fixing this should take priority over other glitches.

    Hurray for a fast clicker finger!

    To my knowledge, Evony does this for you automatically, although I believe it didn't originally. Most of the time, people who manually allow for food carried in their load capacity were taught by Civony or OriginalServer players... or made an incorrect assumption.

    Shhhh, not everyone knows about this Technically, yes, I'd have to say this is exploiting a glitch, but I don't think there's anything Evony can do about it, since the "glitch" is simply an understanding of how items are awarded.

    Probably an exploit, but it's not against the rules, so DUMP ON!

    Part of the original design of Evony (no I can't quote where I got this information from, but yes, I did get it from an Evony Rep, but it was 2yrs ago). So answer here is totally, utterly, completely legit

    Quote Originally Posted by Ocean22 View Post

    Been fixed, so apparently yes, was an exploit.

    *all discussion are about legit in-game playing not involving alts

    Edit: moved topics up for easier reading

    Note 1: Dont call me idiot to expose them if these were your secrets lol
    Note 2: Some could still exist and some could be gone dont ask how to do it, just state what you think please
    1. perfectly fine similar concept with fb upkeep buff in age2
    2. dont see a prob evony still gets its money
    5. cant see a prob with it still costs food
    6. on newer servers at least max camp time is 24 hours
    7. total waste of time
    8. perfectly fine if ya dont want to talk to them
    9. interestng concept if evony feels the need to do something they will until then it is legit
    12. legit some players have a better understanding of evony item drops rates than others thats all
    13.if players want to suicide there troops dont see why not
    14.part of evony mechanics
    16.how is this possible except through the wheel

    3. That's always been part of the game. Imagine if you capped an enemy city that had been adv ported and were then subject to the cooldown of the original player...that'd be stupid. And with the valley movement thing being fixed, it has lost a lot of its potency
    ^This. Exactly this.
    1. Legit

    2. Going to totally disagree with you here. I'll stop short of calling it a full out exploit that you should get banned for (but it is still an exploit), but those buffs specifically have a range of dates in which they are supposed to be active. Making use of them after those dates is clearly not intended by Evony. This is a thing people are using to exploit because they are making alts and giving them the buffs and then pulling them out 1 by 1 to store troops for free. If you were meant to still be using milk and cookies in July, the terms of milk and cookies would not have said they expired on Jan 4 or whatever the exact date was. This is incredibly bad programming on Evony's part, but it's clearly unintended and doing it would technically meet the definition of an exploit.

    3. Exploit but very minor one, but it is an exploit because it allows you to do the equivalent of capping a npc without actually using troops to do it. It's minor because you still have to go through the process of sending the troops to the new city, but to me it's pretty clear the Evony did not intend for people to get around the 24 hour cooldown by having a friend atp it for you and then let you cap it right away. Fact is that you aren't supposed to be able to atp a city and be able to attack from it within a couple hours, so it would also qualify as an exploit.

    No.

    It's not an exploit, no matter how minor you claim it to be. Cap'n an adv ported city no matter when or how or where is simply part of the game. Evony gets their 90 cents no matter what and it's a viable strategy. It is the same line of strategy as being the final wave in cap'n a 10, 12, 14, 16 or 18. It doesn't matter how many troops, or how many waves or how many total waves you have sent. If your wave is the winning wave when a city have 0 loyalty, you get the city. That's how the game works and that's how it has always worked. Stop mincing words and trying to justify anything else.
