    Cared about what? Their customers? Right, they've never cared about their customers, but they've always cared about money, and they've always put it before their players.

    Anyone who actually thinks this was intended to force botters out of the game has fallen foul of the delusional propoganda Evony are spouting. This will lead to more people spending money and that's all it's ever about with Evony.

    I don't bot, but I am in an alliance with a lot of botters. They're not bad people, but most of them don't have the time to pour into the game to stay level with those who do.

    Seems fair enough, no?

    I am very tolerant of botters... Why? Not because I have friends who bot, or bot myself. It's because I'm a human being, who wants to enjoy the game. Will I enjoy the game if all I do is complain and whine about botters? No, I will learn to loathe the game, and probably end up quitting.

    All the anti-botters here need to take a step back and really think this through. Just because Evony says it will fix the lag problems and make botters go away, doesn't mean it will. Anyone with half a minute of experience in servers or technical development will tell you this will not do anything but make the lag worse.

    As a fellow non-botter to non-botters, I seriously urge you to think this through and stop telling Evony they've done a good job. This will affect us more than it will botters. We will have to put the numbers in manually, whilst the botters, with the always adapting bots, will just enter them automatically.

    I learnt to code Captchas in 1997, that's how old they are. They will not fix anything, and Evony are fully aware of that. All they are doing is giving lipservice to the vocal minority who constantly spams them begging for bannings. What's the direct result of you believing the propoganda they post? You feel happier with them, you feel like your server's on more of an even playing field, so you go and buy a package thinking you can enjoy yourself more. Evony have really thought this through.

    How do I combat bots? I think attacks through, plan out my assaults, and then execute them. If anything people using bots has made this game more challenging. Now I actually have to think of combat and plan how to take down somebody with more troops than me. Remove that element and we'll be stuck with an era of boring Archer rainbows again.

    All the people on here just shouting "HAHA BYE BYE BOTTERS" are the immature people who form the minority on this subject. I'm educated, intelligent, know how to play the game inside out and I don't bot. I will be sad to see botters go, and it's even sadder that the so-called "high horses" here think this will stop botters.

    It won't. Evony have you right where they want you, and it's hilarious that so many people are taking what they say for gospel. In three years of running their business, what suddenly makes their customer service or reps reliable? Just a week ago the same people taking in every word for truth were complaining to Evony about this, that, or the other. The fact is Evony has many flaws in its game, and to top it off their customer service is dreadful.

    But they say something you want to hear, and suddenly they can't put a foot wrong.

    I think I'd rather play with the botters than you.

    Interesting how quickly everyone comes down with dyslexia and color blindness, myopia, glaucoma and broken finger syndrome as soon as the anti-bot device started.

    Oddly the game never seemed cause these people suffering prior to this moment in time...

    I have already penned out on paper how a simple image scanning script could figure out what the letters say. It took me about ten minutes, but granted it would take a few hours to actually programme it. You are correct, though, it won't be hard either way.

    The game didn't ask you to enter five illegible, multicoloured, grainy letters at any point. Stop being ignorant, those people play this game, and have every right to enjoy it like you. How do you know it didn't cause problems before, anyway? Just because Evony didn't do anything about it? That's hardly a reliable way of knowing. Evony doesn't do a lot of things about most stuff, it's just there's no need to pay lipservice to the small minority who may have submit problems.

    Personally i think this is a great move, yeah they can be a pain in the butt to do but people that bot get a huge advantage. And for all of you defending players that bot saying they will lose a great amount of money by this, oh well. People that bot ruin this game for the people that take the time to be good. If you have to cheat to be decent, please save us the time and just quit.
    Thank you my sentiments precisely.

    Default Security threat

    So i"ll have to allow pop ups on this game that is known to install some pretty nasty spy ware on its tool bar alone?

    Why should evony players put their personal security at risk?

    Why should evony players allow such access to their personal or work computers by disabling basic security features that keep our personal information safe?

    Why do we need to put ourselves at risk mainly because you cant come up with a better solution?

    I can see lawsuits happening left and right

    And i'll be one of them for being forced to disable the basic security feature "block pop ups" on my personal and work computers at the first sign of any security related issues that arise from this new feature.

    It isn't about having to cheat to be decent for the majority of them. It's about having to cheat to have the time to even play the game. Your point of view is caked in ignorance... And it might be "Oh Well" for you, but Evony have always been about the money. What makes you think that's suddenly different? Because they said something you wanted to hear.

    It's pathetic how easily they have you wrapped around their little finger. Read my previous posts, I re-iterate that I don't bot, but this attitude has to stop. Evony have introduced a horrendous feature that will ONLY interfere with legitimate players. The bots will have a way around it in days, if that. So the bots will continue to bot and automatically punch the numbers in, and the non-botters like you and me will be stuck with putting this number in every couple of hours.

    How is that an improvement? Come down from your high horse and give this some thought, please. You are only encouraging Evony to implement this on every server.
