    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.
    Bingo. another dead-on post. +rep.

    Maybe it violates a personal sense of "fair play", but it is not prohibited in the rules, thus it is allowed, whether one likes it or not. Botting is not supposed to be allowed, whether one likes that or not either.

    If you want to lobby the company to have a no-coining server, then have at it, but DO NOT call people "cheaters" if they spend money, which is not a violation of the rules. Further, DO NOT attempt to steal that advantage back by doing ANYTHING other than spending your own money or busting your butt without having a piece of software do the work for you, and NO additional accounts either...
    I tried making it as clear as possible and see you understood what I was saying. I am not fanning any flames, rather giving an opinion I have experience on.

    As for the "legal" advantage, it does open up a can of worms. A player in say Zimbabwe would have to fork out his months wages for just one package. But this is digressing too far from the topic, except to say a $30 package costs me ~$40 to $45 in real terms, applying a cost of living. So I am at a disadvantage.

    However the captcha system discriminates against those with vision disabilities (me included when it comes to captchas), disabilities that have not stopped them playing thus far, but will now. I pointed that out, gave an expert source - w3.org, also mentioned that I am one that will be impacted for that very reason.

    How does this measure against Evony's stated policy (and justification for the CAPTCHA), "commitment to keeping Evony fun and fair for everyone!"

    I would say it's a massive fail. "everyone" would need to be changed to "some".

    So what do I a "legal cheater" and leag Evony'er/coiner (vs botter) do? I take my money where it is welcome.

    @neko_lord - you mentioned you were involved in the IT security segment for a bit. Maybe you would like to explain the dynamics behind the sweat shops where decaptcha's are busted by humans no worse off than slave labour in eastern counties (reality check). I am sure Evony knows this.

    They simply exist because of a demand for them. Implementing a system when these known workarounds exists, merely supports these abusive practices, the same which makes sure you receive all types inappropriate messages on captcha protected forums etc. A bit of conjecture: Somebody mentioned a 25% bot rate. Evony mentions millions of players. So does it mean the wealthier of the %25 of the Evony community may soon be supporting these sweat shops, just because of a change in Evony, yet sytill gaining the unfair advantage anyway? Perish the thought ...

    What about HumanAuth, KittyAuth ...? At least they are better for the vision impaired.
