Thread: Captchas Now Testing on ss57 and ss60

    I still find it interesting that Evony has yet to answer basic game questions;

    What happens if a popup interupts defensive moves? What happens if a popup interupts a timed launch?

    Will Evony replace lost hero's when a player is unable to recall?

    Will Evony replace lost troops because a player can't cancel an attack?

    Will Evony ever respond?

    And... arnt there smarter approaches to address this? How about adding some automation to the game? I would love to plan farming? I sure as hell can do it better than a bot...

    Maybe, just maybe your customers are telling you what they like about the game they pay to play?

    I would suggest Evony re-evaluate not just this issue, but the bot issue.

Don't cry now, it's what you were all asking for.
    Well to be fair I havn't been crying I love botters they feed me well!

    That is what many of the "pro-botter" people have said. These same people have also said that people that are happy about this have "no life", are "noobs", and "lack the skills" in-game.

    All I have been doing with my series of posts, aside from the images, is asking the same question back to them phrased from the perspective of a non-cheating player.

    If people have more time than other people to do something, then they should get more out of it.
    Then, as it stands, I have absolutely no way to get more out of spending 12 hours sitting in this chair when I have to compete with a bot that enables the person running it to be off at work, school, dinner/drinks/dancing with their significant other, etc...and is capable of being online for 24 hours less whatever maintenance time there is for the given server.

    That's a no brainer.
    Re-read what I just typed. A person putting in 12 hours sitting in a chair, like what I am doing right now, cannot compete with an automated piece of software that is able to spend up to 2 times the amount of time. That's a true "no-brainer".

    You bemoan the "lack of time" that puts others at an alleged "disadvantage", but completely ignore that argument if it is presented from the opposite side.

    Real life theft and cheating in an online game are completely different things, do not insult the intelligence of your former posts by drawing a comparison.
    I spent about $300 on this game between the months of June, 2009, and September, 2009. If someone is able to steal something from me by cheating, then they have, in effect, stolen the money that I put into the game, thus it is theft. Money is potentially involved, whether or not you spent any money yourself.

    To be honest - if evony would solve bot problem - they should evaluate why ppl use bots

    it is to take booring element out of game - and focus on the war element

    and then maybe redesign some element of the game to make use of bots not needed but not this - this will not solve the bot problem as the fundament flaw in game still there

    so why not for once try listen to what ppl in game try explain here and elsewhere

    if u want to eliminate bot - eliminate why ppl bot

    zhay
    thanks milly for the sig

    Well, certainly not something I would say, I'm not arrogant enough to assume I can judge somebody's real life circumstances from a few words on a forum.

    That is a very well worded point, and I understand it fully.

    I don't claim it to be a disadvantage, although I'm sure plenty of botters do. It comes down to personal time constraints, if you enjoy the game but suddenly find yourself unable to give five hours into it a day, you are presented with two choices; bot, or quit. It seems understandable, does it not, that some would choose to bot, so they can continue to do the things they enjoy in Evony, like fighting?

    Consider the same argument from the point of view of botters. If they have invested a lot of money into the game and suddenly find themselves without the time to farm, the choice is give up on their investment and quit because they haven't the time, or bot and make the most of their previously invested time and money by using one.

    I understand that, having put a lot of time in myself. I just think the anti-botters should attempt to at least try and think it through before they run their mouths off all the time, the game would be a more enjoyable place for everyone, and there'd be a lot less hatred flying around these forums.

    Yes there are some programs that can crack captcha. If the captcha used is fairly sophisticated and applied effectively it can still be a great way to deter botting hence why captcha is still used.

    Heads up to those pro-botters out there!
    And to those who say the captcha is "easy to beat"

    Nada. Zilch.

    No bot can beat the captcha on SS57

    Have the bot programmers been at it?

    Heck yeah they have. A lot of them play on SS57
