    surely you not surprised lol. evony probably checked if he spent much, found he did and looked the other way lol

    Like I've said, I really doubt it's going to go any further... I have numerous reasons for being this cynical...

With a functioning moral compass, the most you can say is that you understand how one might think that way, but you should then proceed to try to illustrate how it is an incorrect argument - nothing more than an excuse.

    Does someone that grows up first with their Mother on WIC (Women, Infants, and Children), then gets shuffled to foster home after foster home, have "a valid point" when they hold up a convenience store because they just want to "compete" in life by having some nice things?

    I'd feel sorry for that child, and if I was deciding their sentence, I'd be lenient, but they do not have "a valid point".
    Why do you continue to take what I say and twist it around so it says what you think it says?

    Where did I say they had a valid point for cheating? No where.

    I do not understand that out of all of the people reading these posts, you are the only one reading things into them.

    By your logic, if we were to set up a thread asking chocolate or vanilla ice cream and I posted 10 times things I like about chocolate, you would just assume that I did not like vanilla.

    Every insinuation that you have made about me is false. I responded to a post that you made and that was my mistake. Since then, every post that I have made, you have had some comment to make about it again twisting my words around.

    No I didn't say I knew everything about bots. I said I believe the Evony rep and what he said. For I see no reason why he should lie. I see no big conspiracy motive that their out to ruin everyone's fun. I merely pointed out that if any motive for Evony to crack down other then honoring and enforcing their TOS, would be if such bots effected their product.

    You on the other hand make a statement as if you know everything there is on bots. With your speculative theory that bots and human players input relatively even.

    Just as those arguing on this thread. Don't know the exact percentages of why a person bots. Is the majority non coiners, who think they have pulled the wool over Evony and those that coin and/or have time to spend twenty hours a day on. Or is it the coiners to protect their investment. We don't know, no one could know. Not until data coming in to those caught and summarily punished will Evony have the data to begin collecting enough of it to form such a breakdown. But then due to privacy issues. We as a players will never really know.

    I am good with that, for me it matters not the reason for someone cheating. I just like it to be stopped. Just as I like them to address the other multiple accounts.

    I don't like captcha but I don't like botters either. They've ruined the game using brawn rather than brains. Let's be honest there isn't many times you are going to lose if you come packing with a billion troops all the time. It was much more fun when finesse was used, now you don't need to learn the game just bot then well win all the time. So I ask you why do any of you think that's not cheating.
    nonsense? no. I have a captcha auto-fill programme in my browser, which uses facial recognition software from my PC to recognize the letters. I built the programme myself (not rocket science) and have not shared it on the internet; it would take very little modification to stick it in a bot, and evony cannot know about it.

    What this programme does is copy the image, put it in the software and compare it to the alphabet. Anything readable by the human eye, is readable by the programme; Dawnseeker mentioned "changing the captcha" but that will do absolutely no good.

    Oh, and you need more brains to build a b0t than you need to play Evony. Maybe the best people to get rid of the b0tters, are the b0t developers themselves... when you cannot kill an alliance, you make their friends turn on them too...

    The insinuation that people that invest money is what has driven people without money to bot is a valid point
    By stating that it is a valid point, you are giving tacit approval, whether or not you understand that's what you're doing.

    I appreciate your humor, but you may not have noticed I'm not in the mood for it.

    Players send requests, to the evony server, through their browsers.
    B0ts send requests, to the evony server, through their browsers.

    B0ts differ from people only through the frequency of the requests, which can be adapted by the developer. That is why they are hard to catch.

    A method to catch a b0t, would be to send random, unexpected information from the server; unnoticeable by players, but which would make the b0t react. Why evony does not develop this I do not know.

    And that is where you are mistaken. Problem solved.

    but thats the thing a bot is easy to beat and the best part is u get 10 billion food 40 mil iron lumber from them

    yes u cant take there city but to be honest why would u want there city when u can farm them every other day

    sharing accounts keeps an account farming 24/7 aswell as a bot

    sharing accounts makes it harder to kill the troops and take the plunder

    this captchas only inhabits you from using all functions of the game and maybe in critic times u lose your troops resources because of it

    apparenty there is already a system testing the auto fill of these captchas


    its all retarded and the worst excuse of a fix that could be thought up of

    dont get me wrong im agenst the bot but id rather put up with a bot than this crazy captchas system

    control the multiply accounting account sharing if this could be done it would be a massive improvement but it cant be stoped imposable sighs
