    It's no secret that Evony is very time consuming. (If you don't bot)

    I see a lot of people trying to defend bot use with the argument that they don't have time to play.

    Well why play at all if you don't have the time?

    It's because people are addicted. No matter what changes Evony makes to the game, the addicts are always going to just adapt and keep on playing. (Though they will stamp their feet and threaten to charge back/quit/hack evony/file law suits/club a baby seal etc etc beforehand).

    There's an interesting news report on Today Tonight in Australia on Thursday. A young girl who says her life was consumed by Evony. I imagine it will result in more new players signing up than giving the addicts a reality check.

    Staying on topic, can't wait for Captcha to be on every server.

    Precisely, it has and always will be about money, which is why they haven't outright banned bots. When botting began very early on, they could've stopped it forever by making an example of them. They chose not to because they would have banned a lot of spenders, and now they're in the position they can't ban them because they'll lose even more of their revenue.

    People have to remember Evony is a business. They want our money, not our satisfaction. It's the unfortunate truth about any online game. Money comes before us.

    blame the botters for forcing it on all of us for cheating in the first place.

    No, you make a very good point, as does everyone. In that circumstance, it is correct.

    But imagine you put hours and hours and hours into your account, spend thousands of dollars, and find out you can only spare an hour or two a day because of a real life circumstance that's beyond your control. Should you just quit and forego all your previous investments of time and money?

    In that circumstance, you can understand the allure of botting, can you not?

    Personally I am a panic in figuring out how to feed my armies in the future. I farm and look for botters to attack and take there food. They make great food distribution centers.

    Yet I understand the need to clean it up. It is no longer a good game, its been a joke for awhile now.

    It's free is nothing more then a lure. This game costs money, the free is nothing more then advertising lure. I would rather see it become a downloadable game and go to having to pay a one time entry fee to download the game say for 20. It eliminate the feeder and spam accounts or drastically reduce them. Of course the structure of purchasing additional items to enhance will remain the same.
    Since when was any war won fairly, there is no fairness in war, people will do terrible things to win wars, including killing/sacrificing their own people for the greater good as they call it. This is a war game, why would anyone ever think they could win it by playing within the rules. Let me know when you win a server within the rules while everyone else is playing the game without restrictions.

    Does anyone hold a gun to your head and force you to play? I don't think that's likely, so if you don't enjoy it then don't play.

    Thanks to Infinitus for the epic B'day pressie!
