Dont you guys think youre giving evony to much power, allowing them to think they control what happens in this game instead of understanding those of us paying for this game are the ones with the real power if we would just choose to use it.
1-if evony bans an account based on a captcha, even if it is a bot, they cant prove in any way it is one. Since people do tend to watch movies and do other things while playing evony and could very well miss a few of them. So ban me and watch how quickly I charge back 10k Ive spent over the last year. Watch how fast evony sends me an email to resolve the issue or else. lol, Watch as I tell evony to unban my account and I will and watch as they do exactly what I tell them to do. Everyone who pays for this game has allot more power then you think. But you wont use it. Hell if its not baned you then youll wait and whine and do nothing til it affects you personally.
Get together and show evony who has the power, if even 10% of the people playing evony did full charge backs it would hit evony so hard they couldnt afford to not listen to us. As one we tell them to remove the captcha and find a better way to catch botters that doesnt affect everyone else who doesnt bot. You will catch more then just botters and allot of innocent people will get punished because your program has no way of knowing if its someone who cant see well,. or they walked out of the room for a smoke and got distracted or a million other reasons. How stupid are you to believe this is the answer to catching botters.
Im sure youll catch a few botters but at the same time youll ruin innocent peoples games and lose more players over the bad lag, constant enteruptions in game play causing people to lose heros and armys they would never have lost had it not been for your silliness. So you wanna catch botters so you claim, I dont believe you do. We all know evony has test servers. Why arent you using them instead of wrecking a real server for testing. This is just plain getting to be to much for to many people.
How many people have you actually approached and asked, player to player, why they bot? The vast majority of people will tell you it's because the time required to put into the game is time they don't have to spare.
It's only the few that unfortunately ruin it for everyone else by botting from 10 accounts and porting around with a city with millions of everything in. They are and always will be the exception.
Consider me ignorant all you want, but at least step back and think this through. I do not want to see this implemented because it will affect me, as a non botter, and every other non botter. It won't make the slightest difference to botters. So now we will be stuck having to put this number in, and we will be stuck with the bots.
The reason for them botting really is not the relevant point, do you care more about arguing semantics on the forums than the game you are actually playing and about to have ruined even more?
And for all these people who think Evony can't be charged back all their coins, watch the news, because they can, and will. Evony have broken the terms of service everyone up to introducing this captcha registered and spend money to, by implementing a game changing feature without previous warning.
Your view is caked in blind devotion to those that cheat. The hero worship of those that do cheat. Its the only explanation to how passionately you arguing and throwing out half truths on the boards here. You more then likely sit on waiting for these so called big guns to come on and pander to them.
Besides I hear this number one complaint of have to, no you you don't. The game is a game of tactical and strategical play. Like a real life government you have to balance and plan for what you have. Botting takes all that away and is nothing more then a pander to egos inflated. Oh look at me I am so good I have such a huge army worship me.
An so called programmers you know and the rest that will get around this. The end game will be the industry number one Captchas will be set, one that all this time has never been broken.
So do me and the rest a favor, quit bending over backwards with such blind devotion, wipe your face, it has a brown spot on it and just be quiet.
Wouldn't having the time to play make them "decent"?
Why is it, exactly, that you feel that "their" time is of more value than mine?
Should people that put in more time and effort be punished for their time and effort by "normalizing" the rewards of time spent to be the same as not spending time and having a machine do it instead?
Would this paradigm work if it was applied to a sport such as baseball, basketball, hockey, etc? Should teams that do not have time to practice be artificially boosted in the stats?
People that "do not have time" should either play within the time constraints that they have and not feel like they're entitled to the same things that people that put more time into the game have, or they should simply not play.
But of course, everything that is in the TOS is the god honest truth and can't be challenged in court, because Evony is always right.
Fact is, if Evony doesn't deliver its service like promised, at the very least the unused coins can and must be refunded. It's a breach of contract and no matter what Evony put in the TOS, it still will be.
I disagree , 50 % fix , 50% interferance yes people will still bot.... maybe we ALL will since its not gonna get us kicked (i thought they were kiking botters) I'm tempted ... just waiting to see how this unfolds. was planning on coining pretty heavy on na36 , but now..... i'm scared lol
N00b-player alert. Sooo obvious that you don't play the game as an expert player and you don't do any timing or last second actions whatsoever.
If I want to close my gates on scout bombs coming in one second after a mech wave and the captcha pops up seconds before the mech wave lands, who's gonna replace my lost troops? You?
If I want to time in a phract wave as a surprise at the last second and 10 seconds before a captcha pops up, who's gonna replace the needlessly lost troops and the countless minutes I have to spend setting up everything right again? You?
