    Will it bring about a fair playing field. No it will not, not when you have a game that is free but can be enhanced by paying and purchasing items to enhance yourself. It is inherently lopsided and creates an unbalance. Just as the person who has more time to spend sitting on his account.

    Right now the imbalance is so great due to bots feeder accounts (multiple accounts) that my guess is that evony has lost a lot of money from honest folks looking to enjoying themselves quitting in disgust.

    Speaking of feeder accounts. I remember a time when people concerned themselves with too much prestige. For no one could transport that was significantly under them in prestige with resources. NPC system barbarians would hit the transporters. So a greater emphasis on going after those with multiple accounts would be appreciated. Ending the feeder alliances, ending account sharing.

    When I first joined, started playing evony. I joined an alliance, it was possible to come in and start on a establish server and grow your account. Now with in two months of a new server opening up. It is not even possible due to the way the game has gone. I would speculate that evony has lost more revenue due to this then anything the botters claim they put into evony coffers.


    However, for those legitimately vision impaired or handicap in such a way. Most of these cases are often registered, so providing proof to evony should not be a problem for say for evony then setting up those on a captchas that has audio with it.

    As for the ridiculously assertion and concern over hampering of timed attacks, of opening closing gates in defense and loss of heroes. I find it completely far fetch. You all act like your being attacked every minute of the day, or attacking every single moment, cough highly unlikely. With the issue of lag due to bots and overwhelming number of commands the bots can put into the system causing this. Your likely to be disruptive if your an honest player not using a bot due to the lag. So to counter argue this point really just says your a botter and is now in a panic worried about losing your bot. An the argument that people will not be able to support large armies. Well why should you keep it, it was ill gotten in the first place by cheating.

    Finally this is a win win for everyone. I believe more money will result for evony and for us a better game that is not ruled by a few. Those hero worshiped in WC will not be those with no skill, but actual skilled players.





    u say that lag can cuase u the same problem a captcha will with if u ever attacked for real or defended is false u can account for lag rather easy if your a real player but i SUSPECT your a casual /social player so don't really care what happens or know how to adjust to lag a captcha poping up in the middle on the otherhand is completely different especially when it's random and never know when it's goin to pop up the argument for timing isn't the captcha itself it'as the not knowing part u can compensate if u k now it's coming but if u don't bye bye army and res

I have called ppl to the carpet for their actions, but so far only when comments include or are directed at me. I've told neko it isn't my job to call out people who are being rude, illogical, or otherwise using poor debate skills in trying to champion thier ideas. Sometimes I choose to do so, and yes, it would be fair to say that I have a bias to defend those with whom I agree, but have no obligation to forward the ideas that I do not agree with. That is my prerogative.

    In the spirit of good-will, here it is, for the record:

    When one uses insults like, "noob," "idiot," "brainless," or other value judgments, the assumption by anyone who understands the civil exchange of ideas (debate) is that the sender's argument is somehow lacking, making the message sender feel as if their argument must be bolstered by trying to make their oponent look bad in the eyes of the reader. Basically, saying "you idiot, you're full of poop" is, to someone like me, saying "I'm worried people won't see my point of view, so I'm going to hope they believe, through my insults, that you are not credible, and therefore neither are your ideas."

    So, in the interest of helping this debate move along, I suggest that everyone be aware of how posts are written--if the poster is pushing a value judgment, perhaps assume that they don't want you to consider the ideas of those whom they are posting against, but can't come up with a good reason why.

    Let's debate ideas, people, not hurl insults and insinuations: they only go to show that you are upset and do nothing to speak to the validity of the idea being discussed.

    Furthermore, if you call an idea "stupid," if you do not express a reasonable explanation for your opinion, it is just that: your opinion...carries no weight in a debate.

    Nuf said...back to it.
    this might end up a double post but still well said too much stuff being said on here without reason calling some 1 a noob and saying u think they are for this reason are 2 differnt things so come on guys if u got something to say and an argument to have say w not just cause i do
