This statement shows you are woefully ignorant of history.
Bots on Evony have been around for years. The first bots developed did nothing but farm, which was in response to the insane amount of time you had to spend farming to maintain an army to be competitive.
Eliminating bots (which you will never do, but that's beside the point) will not reduce army sizes, there will always be people who a) have no lives and can spend 24 hours a day farming; or b) are insanely rich and don't have to work for a living so can invest all of their time into farming. The fact you have people with instant-heros only a few weeks into a new server opening clearly shows there are people in category (b) who will spend thousands of dollars.
Despite Evony claims that "we never intended people to have as large armies as they do", they are perfectly happy if you have an army of 100 billion troops, as long as you pay them $$$$ to maintain that troop count.
