Maybe make things cost a bit more on the non protected server for botters. And give some extra perks to the legit players. I have seen some other games use this strategy. That way the players who do spend alot and dont want to give up the game, im sure most botters just dont have the time to play the game for real its pretty demanding. Both sides can choose where to go and there can be warning on non protected servers "there maybe botters". Both sides can keep playing and be happy. Evony doesnt take a hit in the pocket either.
    sorry about this but that is a good idea and very smart that is why evony would never ever allow it to happen

    The problem you have is that you think everyone should have an equal opportunity, but if everyone had an equal opportunity, you would no longer have an advantage.

    Your argument is only that you think it's unfair that others can either spend more time than you can, or can spend more money than you can, so your solution is to make it to where you are able to effectively spend more time than they can?????????

    Guess what? Life isn't fair. It wasn't fair that my job was outsourced to India. It isn't fair that I have "no life" with very few actual friends. It isn't fair that I'm not independently wealthy and not have to worry about any of that.

    You are going into major hysterics over not being able to break the rules in a game. I wonder if any of you all that apparently want to cheat understand that in the 1800s in the Midwest of the United States, if you were at a poker game and you were caught cheating, there was a good chance you were not going to be living much longer.

    I think all of you griping about how terrible it is that you can't cheat anymore need to think about that.

    Winning by cheating is not winning at all. All one has to do is look at what happened to Bernie Madoff, and how he is in prison for the rest of his natural life because of how he cheated people.

    @ botters... U Mad Bro... Problem?

    Anything to help reduce the amount of botting that goes on is good in my opinion. I will more than willingly submit to a captcha occasionally. Although an option to voluntarily submit to a captcha with a 30-60min reset until the next one would be good

    like u said yourself life is unfair there will always be what you call "cheaters" but if i was sitting on evony looking at a no lifers city whos on 20 out of 24hrs of the day and a botted city who the person running it may not be online but 5-10 hrs a day where the in the world is the so called advantage your arguement is nothing more then its cheating i dont like it thats your whole arguement its alot easier to plunder and take a botted city then any no life online player so tell me what makes these bots soooo unbeatable and sooo unbareable that you wanna quit the game is it because you yourself dont have the know how to crack one????

    This is a player submitted screenshot of the captcha. I will admit that some are harder to read, but you can always select a new one (or fail 4 times and get a new one with no penalty,) I am not sure if the change to add a reload button is in yet, but this is a feature we will be putting on.

    This though is representational of most of the captcha images. As you can see being color blind does not change anything, our captcha does not rely on light colors on a light background. There will always be a brightness difference between the background and the text. Example a partial red colorblind (red deficient) person like me would have problems with a light red/pink on a grey background.

    You can also see that there are no squiggly lines as some people are complaining about. I am not saying they have not seen the captcha on the server, but they have not seen the captcha on the server. ;-)

    so will it work better? and you should know something about being color blind before doing oyur own little "test". another thing i've seen manytimes complains about the farming.

    Evony says it wasnt meant to have the size armies people have and its some sort of glitch/programming error, and to fix it will be changing the way the game plays, so changing the food up keep i guess would be to much for them too, YET implementing an annoying pop up wont, i think alot would ocmplain less if there was less upkeep.

    And while they can argue thaon that wont stop others from having massive armies, it WILL give the chance of others to have a massive army too.

    and yes i expect people to complain that the botter will still bot then, etc, blah blah blah, if your so unhappy then dont play. i play and farm, and fight with knowledge vs troop count, you can clear a city with battle mechanics vs stupidity.

    Melri I have seen you pull people up about their grammar,spelling and punctuation quite a few times in this thread, please remember English is not everyones first language and also some people do have problems with reading and writing.
    So your fortunate not to be one of those folks dont get on your high horse with those that are.
    In the UK it is against the law to discriminate against these people, this captcha system is also a form of discrimination as I can not get a clear answer from Evony as to what they propose to do for these folks.
    Just remember Evony is a melting pot for people of all classes, races, and disabilities and everyone should be treated equally, not ignored because they dont fit into the typical stereotype.

    Isn't having a larger army at the minimum indirectly "protecting the investment", if not directly doing so?

    Why is it you think that your time is valuable, but my time is of less value?

    That's what you're saying, whether you understand it or not. If you don't have the time to play, then don't play. By using a bot, you make it to where your account is effectively on for the maximum amount of time, where as me, without a bot, even with "no life", I cannot do because I too have certain minimal things I need to do, such as eat, sleep, do yardwork, and other personal issues where I cannot be at the computer 24x7x365 (366 on leap years).

    You complain that it's not fair that others are able to spend more time than you, then you "fix" that issue by spending more time than they can. Do you not see how that is unfair, by your own definition?

    And no, the solution is not to let everyone bot, because then it's just a computer playing against a computer, and we might as well not even be here.

    No. That's a fair advantage. If one chooses to play a game for the rest of his waking hours, then so be it. He surely should be rewarded more than someone who plays 5-6 hrs / day.

    As is vice versa with the 5-6hr player. He gets to go the movies, work, have RL friends, a business, etc. If the 20hr game player also can have those, wouldn't it be consequently unfair to the 5-6 hr player?

    I have cracked, looted, captured (a few), pulverized more botter cities than you. I can make a good bet on that.

    And no, i still prefer fighting people over bots.
