    So, let me see if I understand.

    You think it's unfair that someone else has more time to spend on this game than you do.

    You think that it's unfair that someone else has more money to spend on this game than you do.

    You attempt to rectify these injustices by cheating.

    Let's apply this to real life:

    You think it's unfair that someone else has more time to spend going on trips to interesting places than you do.

    You think it's unfair that someone else has more money to spend on trips, as well as a nice house, a nice car, a nice stereo, a nice TV, etc...

    Is your solution to rob a bank?

    The biggest difficulty in any RTS (Real Time Strategy) game is reaching the game?s limitation; they all have it. Without new content added or a proper balance, the game reaches a point of no growth. Any developer does not want to see that. Bots basically interfere with the balance of the game. They allow those using them to go beyond the game?s limitation, but at the same time, eliminate others prematurely.

    (The 2nd paragraph may be edited or removed as I comply to TOD of the site)

    There are many types of botting on the Evony Servers and not just Farming Resources for themselves. Some servers in Age 1 have entire alliances of bots that do nothing but Farm resources and store them. Which at certain points eliminate defenses of a town, and trigger another account on the host?s computer to attack and plunder that town of high resources? And bots that cycle attacks on others to generate Experience, etc. Bots that exploits bugs in the game, etc. Bots that generate random email names and create characters, and thus alliances and more. Those who are impervious to cheating and botting will actually spend money to catch up, which they won?t. Reducing bots will actually rebalance the game and enable its limitations until Evony adds more content. Expanding the servers did not really do that, it made the game more unbalanced as they were not aware their game was being botted and hacked at the time. Since no content was actually added to Age 1 (went into Age 2), the much larger playing field in Age 1 became more demanding for players to cover and actually encouraged botting I believe. Age 2 has its problems though in exploits and botting and multiple accounts and?.

    The unfortunate thing that prevents Evony from actually regulating its game is its Registration scheme. The game was opened to anyone with an unsecured email account. This is okay for a truly free game with a planned short lifespan. However, those at Evony I don?t think realized at the time of the potential popularity of their game when placed on Social Sites like Facebook. Games like World of Warcraft, Planetside, and other MMO (Massive Multiplayer Online) Games use two types of Registration. Most common is a Credit Card Registration, even if the game is free. The Credit Card is considered to be a secured Digital ID for Client to Host. The email is usually used in other cases; however, some gaming sites have yahoo and hotmail blacklisted as they can be spammed. So only ISP (Internet Service Provider) Emails are usually considered.

    So, the only thing Evony can really do to limit bots is do what other open sites do and that is with some sort of character recognition signature. This would force a human response to continue the game. Unfortunately, in a real-time game where human intervention can be sensitive for timed attacks, etc; this measure may be more a hindrance than an anti-cheat system.

    Being a loyal tester of Age 1 and 2 for quite some time, I frown at cheaters, exploiters, and hackers. All they do is usually hurt people and kill a game, or is it kill people and hurt a game; same thing.

    The network connection error message has been going on for months now. It was not caused by the captchas.

    Guys, STUDY the game! Some Cus-Sat use case issues:

    1. I spend HOURS coordinating my attacks for precise timing to land 20, 30, 90 waves on an enemy town at exactly the right seconds. Capchas popping up and ruining that effort is going to be a HUGE negative to gameplay.

    2. I'm defending against 10 incoming mech attacks pretty well timed. I have my mech defense in place and I've sent away 10 waves of fodder layers with the intent to recall them in between the waves (using camp times). Right in the middle, the capcha pops up and POW i lose millions of troops that I could have killed with zero losses otherwise.

    3. I'm sending scout bombs to land on top of my transport waves...capcha pops up, FAIL.

    4. I'm timing reinforcements to land at my alliance mate's town just seconds before a big attack hits...capcha...FAIL.

    5..........

    Should I continue?

    An effort to eliminate something "illegal" that really has now just become part of the game (intended or not) will result in completely CHANGING gameplan. I mean, unless you've already considered this potentially unintended outcomes, you're just "bugging" the game to defeat something else you don't like.

    Since when does two wrongs equal one right?

    POW nail on the head there matey ! but i doubt that they will listen to the overwhelming " we do not want this" that is being sounded off in this forum

    <7:10>[ssfgrgawer]: oh i understand using memebers to descout me, Good move. But causing the lag so i cant close gates is a tad unsporting.
    <7:14>[BUBBAA]: powering down the lagatron2000
    <7:16>[ssfgrgawer]: Nope that was all my scouts, i now have a total of 600k.

    Again, if it does not make that big of a difference, which is your own words that I've underlined above, then why are you in hysterics over the desire to get rid of them? If, as you say, there is not that big of a difference, then you shouldn't care one way or the other.

    Dawn and Thant?
    I have a problem just reading the small letters in chat.
    Always has trouble reading thos things that the captcha will use.
    But many of them has the option to have the letters/numbers to be vocally read out for ya.
    Will this also be the option here? I think u need to do that,cause i have many friends on this game that have an poor eyesigth.
    My problem is that i cant distinguish between the letters/numbers cause of a bad deptperception. Some has troubles cause of colorblindness.

    And u guys needs to do something about the lag...seriously i see that little clock more then i see my own wife..

    ive again never once stated weither i think getting rid of the bot are a dam good idea or not your just trying to pick a fight is all your doing i myself can look at both sides and argue each one for and against each you yourself are narrow minded and only want to argue sighs obviously captchas arnt a good idea as you obviously cant even read and understand black and white letters on a forums page *shakes head* either way your getting redundent and im outtie..lolz
