I have quit spending any money on this game until they stop this foolishness. Today I wake up to find 4 lvl 10 npc right next to my cities gone. I read somewhere on an official Evony FAQ page that they will NOT remove npc in farming areas and right next to a city. That appears to be BS. There are hundreds of lvl 1, 2 and 3 npc that can be removed and thousands of inactive players who should be removed. Just because they have a dime in their account does not mean they are coming back. Some of these players have been inactive since day 1 of the server merge. Evony is killing the game and I have over a dozen friends who have quit. They used to be big spenders on the game. Why not spend their time going after the botters and multi-account users. Permanently ban them and make their cities flats. There would be more than enough open flats then.
