I read through every post in this thread... kind of shocked it's been allowed to go on this long, on the plus side Dave and Thantium have both responded in some sort in this thread... =)

Botting, multi-accounting, and account sharing are all against the rules. I guarantee you that everyone in this thread at least knows one person who does each of those rule breaking.

Thing is what do we do about it? We as the players have no real ability to stop it, just more or less see it unfold. Hopefully, the evony team finds a way to stop it entirely --- i kind of like that suggestion about changing some codes so that the bots are no longer functional in the evony servers... to me it has potential.

Last comment, and this has to do with paypal. The last time i bought cents (during that St. Patricks Day deal) it took over an hour for my actual cents and box to arrive. Now say if it never arrived (i will likely be spending more and so it could be a possibility in the future) and I submitted a ticket and got no real help and then submitted another ticket about 5 days later with the same results. Would i be able to go to paypal about it to get my money back or would that still be a breach of ToS? I'm only asking because the last time I did a ticket thing I ended up getting it solved two months later here on the forums.
This is mostly for theoretical purposes but also for other people who have potentially had Chest/cents issues - if the submitted multiple tickets with no help how would they go about getting there money either to there account or refunded to them without breaking ToS?
