    Enforce them all or none!
    thats obvious, enforcing the others has little financial gain. evony just see all the vestas that the big coiners are going to need with captcha

    Totally agree with you TCTitan. Seems Ev only enforces rules that suit them at any given time. Reckon they have a lucky dip bin. "IF" they had of enforced ALL the rules to begin with we would not be having a 130 plus page talking about this. One computer, One line in sounds like a damn fine idea and a far far easier solution than this captcha as is the pass word. Reset every ones and at the same time zero food up keep just to cover the screw up you know is going to happen. Once the account has been logged into the upkeep returns to normal. surely easier than captcha?
    OR
    Even easier
    Get rid of the food upkeep
    Turn the game back into a game instead of your whole life

    well, i can answer that with 3 words, you are wrong...

    all the big coiners will quit because they will get sick of actually having to farm, evony will lose a CRAP LOAD of money from this, and they will see how much they lose in a week or so, and get rid of the captcha.

    not all of them, and it will take a while for them to use the 50bil food they accumilated.

    This would (will?) change the game.

    This game could be really cool if things were brought back to normal regarding how big an army people could feed (or be willing to on their own). All the coiners, yeah they get really powerful really fast but without the bots to feed 100k pults there's only so much they can do so it could really even things out, don't you think? Then people who have unlimited free time would dominate the game as we should!

    My feelings on the botters - who I'm sure are busy trying to learn how to beat this measure as we speak - is I've played video games for over 3 decades and most of that was crap games against poorly written computer programs. Finally tech comes so we can play each other and not computers and all these people do is try and make it suck again. I hate them so much.

    Once the big guys have built, what do they need to spend on ?

    Best wishes to those who were in ICECOLD, MERC, HONOR on 131, SOLACE on 144, thePack2 on 158

    with a bot, just teleports to move around their fake accounts raiding people. with captcha they will need more vestas - hence why many think evony just after the money. [which is ok, it is a business]

    just fruatrating evony are so hung up on bots but show no interest in other forms of cheating

    Let the cheats go elsewhere - who cares? I certainly dont.

    The captacha is quite a neat solution to a COMMERCIAL problem. Evony have an obligation to the community that doesnt cheat to enforce (or at least attempt to) the TOS. As a non cheating paying customer I have been on the brink of walking away from the game for a while now in the face of the apathy towards those cheating - if I reach that point I will be looking to recover the money spent. That is a situation Im sure quite a few people find themselves in. The reality in Age 1 is cheat or you wont keep up (Even if you spend a fortune)

    Now if Evony were to just ban the botters then they would do exactly what I have been considering doing and look to recover what money they have spent on the game. Not something Evony want - they have been down that road before and eventually invited all those banned back and unbanned their accounts.

    With the captcha Evony wont have to ban anyone, those that leave will be doing so of there own free will.

    Unfortunately -

    1. Evony havent (Im guessing will delay) rolled this out further.
    2. This doesnt impact those with alt alliances feeding themselves lumber and iron.
    3. This doesnt impact the flat fillers (A simply registration link would suffice )

    I want to give Evony credit for trying but I remain too cynical and at the moment I am of the opinion that this is simply an attempt at appeasment of those like me who are and have been moaning about the botting and pointing out their obligation to their paying (non cheating) customers.

    That said, I have refrained from walking away at least for the time being, maybe there is some hope.

    well said +rep

    captcha doesnt bother me either, i'm considering quitting purely over the fake accounts. server 153 zoey accounts numbered 1 to 400 to fill franconia as an example - and evony cant "see" that?? i even know whose they are lol.

    when the big bad botter ports in on his random, you cant even port out because the damn place is full lol.

    half the server have bots just to help protect themselves from this - or account share
