    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.

    Thanks for pointing that out. you are 100% right its ppl who cheat, please note i did not say ppl wil stop. I said there wont be a reason to bot. But ok i am wrong there because there are a number of reasons to bot as below. Stil the main reason is today and wil be tomorrow.....FARMING!

    Y do ppl cheat?
    1) to get ahead?
    2) to be able to match other ppl cheating?
    3) to reach the top and be feared by many?
    4) to be able to train hero?
    5) to be able to farm?
    6) to be able to attack & cap cities?
    7) to be able to defend?

    I would accept any1 saying any or all of the top 5 in the list. but number 6 and 7? sorry i can not accept that.

    If you say a person bots because he wants the bot to defend, then please tel me who these botters are so i can go farm their cities. i have to laugh at them. I have beaten the bot many times, farmed the city of all its resources. Its just a matter of timing the trans wit the mech or footman attacks. Bot opens gates on trns and bombs but closes on mech and arch (for arch to get thru it is depending on defending troop). Please do the math...if u time it right. u wil win! time & time again the result is the same...unless some1 who has the keys logs in and truces the account, in which case the problem isnt the bot

    Its very easy to farm botting cities. Granted its hard to cap a botting city, but Y cap? Let the bot farm the npc and let me farm the botting city! Its free resources for little loss.

    Its very hard to beat some1 who is logged in and is very good at defending. But there are ways around that too, depending on how good ur team mates are at attacking and how many ppl are porting wit u, also how many of the of the defender's cities u all are attacking at the same time. No human can open and close gates in all cities at the same instant. Yes a bot can do it, but the bot is not able to change tatic.

    I am yet to see a bot send fodder out for incoming mech attacks, or send in reinforcing troops from other cities. I havnt seen a bot port a war city and start attacking while the owner is afk.

    Until then I cant in any way accept that ppl bot to defend. As for the top 4 on the list.....U wont get those unless u have done what is at no. 5. the farming issue is at the core of the botting craze. Kill the farming, then u remove the NEED to bot. Not saying ppl wont stil bot, or multi account.

    Having been part of evony for over 2 yrs now, I have seen many ppl get suspended for botting, have their cities halved. but stil today they are botting.....wit newer bots. So this tatic by evony isnt going to solve the problem.

    Another bot wil be released tomorrow, then evony can try another tatic.....again another bot wil be released. So we stuck in the middle are just going round and round. I believe if evony automate the farming for us, the problem wil be solved. Its very drastic, but tel me can u kill a cancer wit a bandaid?

    I guess we are all living in a fantasy world if we believe that EVONY wil change anything to suit us. It has to be financialy viable b4 they consider any change. They want to stop botting because it reduces the income they get from coiners who spend cash to buy their resources. Sadly not every1 in the world is able to spend that ammount of money.

    Enough said Khalee. U put it perfectly.

    Botters wil never go away! Its a pity.

    The difference is that only a Historic City can be taken from you. The only thing that can happen to your other cities, at worst, is they are colonized whereas your Suzerain can then draft your troops and get paid an hourly 'tribute' of the resources you have inside that city. You have to uprise and successfully win an uprise battle to break free of your Suzerain. This can be done on your own or with the aid of your alliance.

    You don't have to start over if you go to bed one night as you may on a conquest server, to awaken and find you are left with only 1 city because your competitor had 3x the troops you had and were able to kill everything you worked so diligently to train and build up because they used a bot to gain that advantage. I hold nothing against those who coin to get an honest advantage, but again, I don't coin, so there is no point in me bothering to compete against either/both.

    Had I not started on a non conquest server and built my account to what it is, a conquest server might appeal to me. The thought of having to start from scratch is what does NOT! And further, knowing that people BOT is even more of a reason I won't transition to a conquest server. I don't wish to be spammed for hours on end by a botted player to hold onto every city I build. I also know, first hand, what it's like to try to take a Historic City, let alone 10 cities, as might be the case on a conquest server, from a botted player. Why would I want to waste time and energy trying to do that?

    And before others chime in on how easy it is to beat a bot as prior statements have mentioned, I shouldn't HAVE to learn how to beat one because they are NOT supposed to be used on the servers. Therefore I have no interest in learning another element to the game that Evony clearly, did not intend to be an element of the game! I would however, like to encourage Evony to enforce their TOS when there is a clear cut case that a player is repeatedly botting, including but not limited to account suspensions and or PERM BANS!

    The way to "even out the battlefield" with respect to people spending more time or more money is to, ummm, spend more time or money, not cheat. Cheating is cheating.
    Come on Khalee.

    I write up a whole post and because you disagree, I get this message and negative rep from you. If you need to reply to me, doing it in this way is WRONG. If this is the way you feel, then you better not be in a thread that has the possibility to be 2 sided. For you will find you can really only be on one side.

    I was accused of backing the botters or choosing their side. Had you read my previous posts, which evidently you did not, you would see that I am for fixing this issue. Even in the post you ridiculed, I stated the same. Never once did I say cheating was not cheating.

    Evony has a problem and needs to fix said problem. If all you are going to do is criticize people in here that do not believe exactly as you do about a fix, you may as well leave.

    Not really! They are tailored to a different type of player. The kind that don't have the means to coin as often or those who don't wish to have the time they've spent building completely destroyed just because they went to work or bed for the night. They are highly competitive servers just the same.

    Because rep defines post credibility and not having any is just terrible and you've been wronged by him -repping you. Are we 3 years old?

    Like so many other games, the difficulty level goes down as time goes on. The one thing Evony did right was make capturing age2 servers.
