    Default a massive flaw in evony

    ive been playing evony now for about 2 years... yes.. i know.. ill never get those 2 wasted years back.. but i love the game.. and pretty much every thing about it.. all the battle mechanics seem to be very well thought out.. the troop builds.. the times marching between cities.. all very neatly arranged in a great game that 1000's of people enjoy playing..

    how ever.. there seems to be a major flaw in this game.. flaw.. glitch.. cheat.. what ever.. its there.. and upon reading the forums it seems its not an uncommon issue.. seems a LOT of people have had this issue.. and evony MUST get LOT of complaints about it.. because it is in the list of things "under consideration'.. so its not like the developers dont recognize the problem.. or they wouldnt try and fix it..

    as stated in the 'what else do we need to do thread'
    Example: The continued griefing of players by sending out 1-transport attacks with maximum camp time. That's something our dev team is already discussing and should be solving for you soon.

    there seems to be an overwhelming response to the suggestion of a 'ignore attack' button that allows you to ignore certain attacks

    so a player can click this 'attack ignore' and not have to sit there checking to see if any real attacks are heading his/her way for the next 80 hours.. or for 3-4 months as the case may be...

    now this wouldnt normally be an issue.. if the player was sending these attacks from their main account.. as you could tag the city in your coords list.. then actively hunt the player thats causing you the grief..
    but this isnt usually the case, as the main reason a player would do this for months on end is because they cant attack you in the conventional way.. the way the game was intended.. so they normally do this from an unallianced alternate account.. so you got no idea who it is.. and theres nothing you can do about it.. NOTHING... sure you can waste your time porting around till you land close and zero the city.. the player just ports and starts again.. eventually after wasting numerous ports and time chasing a player that has NO right to even be on the server, as he/she isnt actively playing from this noob acc, you zero the acc.. so they got no ports left and cant move.. the player just hits the 'game reset' button.. and in 3 days it starts again..doesnt sound like a lot of fun to me.. well it might be fun for the noob.. it certainly isnt any fun for the player thats actually spent time and money building an account over a couple of years...

    even evony forum moderators agree that this is an issue.. foxybunny certainly sees it as an issue.. yet, the evony representatives dont.. as is the reply youll get when reporting such players

    Greetings,
    This tactic is not against the rules, we can investigate for multi accounting.

    now ok.. i realize this type of attack can be used as a 'tactic' to mask other attacks.. but when the person does it from an alternate account.. with only 2K prestige everyday for 4 months with no let up... not sending any real attacks.. then im sorry.. this is NOT a tactic anymore.. it becomes player harassment..

    The Essence of Evony Game

    The Essence of Evony is a spirit of sportsmanship and fair play in waging battles, forging alliances and conducting the affairs of your cities. Any unfair, unreasonable or immoral tactics or behaviors are strictly forbidden. Game play is what Evony is all about, and the Evony Team strictly enforces the rules that govern game play, to keep Evony enjoyable for everyone. The Evony Team considers most conduct to be part of the Game. Evony is a "player vs. player" game, and players should always remember to defend themselves in areas where the members of hostile alliances can attack. That said, if you feel an opponent is using a strategy or tactic that breaks the game rules, we suggest you contact the Evony Team's in-game customer service representatives to report the abuse. We hope our players can be build a civilized and friendly spirit of competition in the Evony world!

    now i think others would certainly agree with me.. even if evony doesnt.. that sending these attacks for 4 months straight from a noob low prest acc not masking any real attacks.. would come under player harassment.. and pretty much goes against everything that statement projects.. im not sure ive found one player that was having fun while this so called 'tactic' has been going on for 4 months straight.. infact.. after 4 months of repeatedly reporting some thing that is clearly 'player harassment' and not getting anywhere, people tend to quit the server theyre playing on.. and most cases quit plying the game altogether, as this case maybe..

    so you see.. you can play evony for 2 years.. survive 2 server merges.. build your account to be ranked number 1 on your server all to have your game come to an end from some noob that starts your server and after only 3 days of playing can start sending out these attacks.. even if the player isnt muilti accounting.. its still goes against everything the 'essence of evony' statement makes..

    there doesnt seem to be a poll option here.. so ill just finish with this..

    my suggestion , that would pretty much stop this type of 'player harassment' would be to.. implement a 'player ignore' button.. rather than an 'attack ignore' option... this way you can ignore the player.. like the block feature .. but you can also ignore any attacks he sends.. thus stopping the flashing birdy.. you could also have another page of 'ignored attacks' so you can still see them incoming and you have the option to 'un ignore' certain attacks separately.. just incase the player does send something of substance

    this also allows this so called 'tactic' to be used.. but only from a players MAIN account.. you can then HUNT them..

    by ignoring the player.. on NOT the attack.. this still allows this tactic to be used by players.. but would stop the low prest noob accs from doing it as you know they arent sending anything of substance from a 2kprestige acc from 500miles away

    if you agree that this 'tactic' should be classed as 'player harassment'.. or even if you dont.. reply and tell me the reason why you do.. or dont..

    thanks for your time
    good luck with your gaming
