    Maybe if i say this, my post will survive:

    Evony 11 Botters 0

    11th day of captcha implementation and botters don't have a permanent solution
    Rome wasnt built in a day.

    If evony really wanted to end all botting, they need to get to the cause of the botting. At the end of the day that cause, that main reason is the constant farming. Take away the need to farm, u take away the reason to bot & multi account.

    I wonder how many days its been since some1 1st made that statment on the forum, how bout we keep that score too.

    Evony 0 Players 1year?

    OMG, are people STILL prattling this nonsense!?

    Farming may be horrid, but it is NOT the CAUSE of botting. People are the cause of botting.

    Do away with farming, and people will still bot, because that way they don't have to work out the best defence, or actually do the work to spam someone 24/7

    If there is a way that a person can get a leg up on everyone else, then SOMEONE will try to do it. People cheat, simple.

    Get over believing that botting will go away if Evony change something, you're living in a fantasy world. The only way to get rid of botting is to do something like what Evony are trying. It may not work, but at least they're trying.

    LOL, I've fought countless bots and there isn't one that can setup a good defense against a knowledgeable player.

    spot on, bots are not AI, they are predictable and easy to beat. after a few test hits, you know exactly how the player has it set. no problem getting thru, it cant adapt

    PLUS becasue the bot is on, i find fewer of them have shared their keys because it logs the bot out, meaning no one logging on to help.

    Additionally, last time I checked, the TOS of Evony was that no 3rd-party helper could be used... thus, botting is cheating. There is no argument that can be made that justifies botting as being within the rules of Evony.




    You are aware that Evony is a business, and providing a (laughingly) free game, they need those coiners in order to continue providing to those who don't coin? You started playing a game that told you in the initial stages that you could spend coin to get ahead, don't whine about it now.



    Refer above regarding a bot logging on multiple times per hour.
    Additionally, there are bots that build troops in small increments, and some to play the market, posting small bids constantly to drive prices up or down.
    Not to mention the SpamBots, last time I checked, a human isn't likely to sit at a computer for 12hrs straight, sending 9waves of spam at someone every 50secs.



    Perhaps before you tell someone else off about not understanding bots, you should research them yourself. Clearly it is YOU who knows nothing of the topic on which he is commenting.

    Kudos Khalee!
    Might I add, the human player is playing while the player using a bot is going about their business. BIG DIFFERENCE! Why play if you are going to rely on a bot to play the game for you? Oh yeah, that's right, so that when you DO want to actually play, you can use all your newly botted resources, troops etc. to go attack the player who painstakingly built their account up and line up your spam attacks on said player(s) so you can then go about your merry business again and hope to return to find out your bot managed to complete your mission for you (ie: get the player to NPC a HC they rightfully fought for and won) so you then can claim VICTORY!! Evony TOS are quite clear! What's so hard about that for people to understand? Evony didn't intend their game to be played by bots, they intended it to be played by human beings!


    I am not a coiner. I have built my account up step by step by actually PLAYING the game! I hold my own against coiners. I don't consider them spending their money as cheating whatsoever. I agree again, don't whine about the game you chose to play knowing that people had the option to spend money to get ahead. EVERY game is like that, not just Evony!



    And thanks for touching on my prior post too Khalee about bot spams. I play on a NON Conquest server so the only things we can take from another player is a Historic City. The only thing we can farm from another player is resources they have inside their Historic City that can be plundered out (tributes on a colony pay very little to sustain a large army) when they close their gates. To have a bot that is either being used to spam a real player to the point of insanity or to defend a non player who chooses to use a bot to bump loyalty or farm food for people so they have endless supplies of it (and gems to star up gear quicker) when they're ready to actually play and go on a large scale attack on an enemy OR to hold onto a Historic City completely takes away from the competitive nature of this game on a non conquest server!

    I cannot speak to what bots do to players on Conquest servers as I've never played on one.

    Say what you will Khalee, but KUMARSANJ's point is valid. You need to find the root cause. You think it was just because people cheat. On the other hand maybe it was to compete.

    You start this game head to head with a big time coiner or someone at home all the time 2+ years ago. You get pummeled at every turn and see no way to win. So you think, if there was only a way I could get more food, I could have an army that big. Though I am already waking up an hour earlier than normal to farm and spending all evening farming to keep what I have. So someone said hey, lets build a bot. Now I am sure, because I was told this earlier today, bots have been around on games before Evony. So when this game started, they started the creation of them.

    Nowadays we are told the bots will do everything for you, but I am sure this was a procession it has made over the years. Most likely the first generation bots just farmed and maybe queued up some troops. You know, evening up the battle field I talked about.

    Everything progresses over time. Coiners start spending more money and some start botting as well, to make theirs the biggest and baddest army out there. Sort of like an avalanche and the non-botters are standing at the bottom of the mountain.

    So here we are with an avalanche bearing down at full speed and we are hoping that the few barricades we have put up will stop it from wiping us out. You and I both know it won't. Had we just did a bit of avalanche control, we would not be in this position right now.

    Find the root cause, instead of just trying to deal with the symptoms of the problem.
