    Stop telling evo they did a good job here they didn't this won't solve anything! You make them think they succeeded here and next thing you know they are tinkering with all aspects of gameplay to 'improve' it!

    I'm not saying there is any need to even a playing field, you are putting words in my mouth. If people have more time than other people to do something, then they should get more out of it. That's a no brainer. But the reasons for botting aren't always to feel superior, which everyone seems to think.

    Some bot just because they can enjoy combat more, which is, let's be fair, the funnest part of Evony.

    Real life theft and cheating in an online game are completely different things, do not insult the intelligence of your former posts by drawing a comparison.

    I'm not telling Evony they're doing a great job, like most people here I think the way the entire botting and multi-accounting situation has been handled is shameful. What I won't do is pretend I don't like something that can possibly curb both of them because it's ruined the game. It's understandable people don't like this because it can disturb gameplay by interfering with attacking and defending but it's just to bad. Most people on the older servers are either running multiple accounts or botting and a captcha will make them work even harder to cheat which is why they're here crying about it.
    Please feel free to "Red Rep" me, I wants it!
    EPIC FIRETRUCKIN PHAIL!

    I'd like these real questions answered by evony
    The issue here is that you have a little bit of knowledge, but a lot of misconceptions.

    The "popup" is not a browser popup, but an in-game window. It is nothing more than if they automated you clicking on your rally spot and the next in-game window opens.

    All of what is being done at the moment is contained within the Flash application. Flash runs in its' own sandbox area and has very limited access to system information, which is by design.

    Finally, the add-on "Evony Toolbar" has nothing to do with what is being discussed... I have not installed that, and I was presented with the in-game window (aka "popup").

    Within days, if that, the bots will have a way around it, or have a way of typing the correct code in. Net result, the bots are still there, and now legitimate players like you and I are stuck with bots and this captcha code.

    Sorry do you honestly think if people can hack evony well enough to make a bot they cant detect someone in a week wont have the captcha thing worked out.,No its the none botters who will pay with this idea. The people who design and use the bots are allot smarter then the people hired at evony. Its rather obvious when evony cant even keep someone from using 3rd party software to log into evony they have no way to keep them off the game. Get real botters will only be affected until someone on the bot site adds in the cure.

    i find this the stupidest thing evony has done yet.. i mean seriously who do u get these ideas from..
    u want every1 to stop complaining about botting make it legal... say ur trying to make everything better?
    are you sure your not trying to make everyone quit? the moron that came up with the idea should be shot
    if evony implements this on every sever it will be the downfall of evony lets all go play Batheo or WoW lol
    some where, where u dont have he creaters changing the game every 10 secounds.. next them moto for evony wont be free forever it'll b only $1.95 evony get ur act together we dont play this game to be pizzed off by you we play it to have fun. i also find it funny on age2 u made it so no1 can take cities and dont have to farm... what do u think the bot does? instead of being against botting let them do it and the game will be more exciting for all that play

    Well if most of us are doing it on the older servers mite as well just sanction it and let us run wild, better then ruinin the gameplay after they let everything fall apart for so long. Now their fixes just tend to make things worse for everyone. They should have got on bottin and multiaccting when the problem started and nipped it in the bud not waited 2 years when so many have come to rely on it to the point they can't play without it and the ones who do play without it are disrupted while playing as well.

I am mature enough to know that just because they bot they're not scumbags. Pull your head out of your rear and stop acting like you are better than everyone just because you decide not to cheat.



    I am not condoning botters, condoning the fact they use them, but I am supporting the challenge they indirectly create. Evony itself is rather a boring game, the fact somebody can port in next to me with millions of troops creates a very exciting challenge. Whilst it shouldn't, nor does it excuse botting, it does add that challenge, which is one positive to glean from the many negatives of botting.

    I guess you have had bad experiences with botters to think that way, and that's regretful.



    The 'endgame' is that the few legitimate players left, like you and me, will eventually be driven out by anti-cheating measures that aren't working. I really wish you saw this. The bots will not stop, and their quest to eliminate them will only make playing the game for you even more difficult. Your 'blind devotion' to Evony's anti-bot crusade is only supporting the inevitable destruction of your fun.

    Soon you will be stuck with an annoying captcha to enter every thirty minutes and the bots.



    If this is how the majority of non-botters behave I'd rather play with the botters. At least they're respectable, well mannered people.
    It is not a challenge because someone cheats, it is just plain cheating. Basically all evony is doing is simply putting it back to; what you invest and put into the game is what you get in return.

    Here is what will happen food prices will go up. Just like when they changed it from 1 hr to 8 hr regen of npc.

    Armies will become smaller. People will actually have to think and plan. Some will quit, some will come back having quit in disgust over the cheating. So that is a wash. Of course this is subjective theory just as all of those like yourself that proclaim more will quit. Because you and no one else can show me definite proof of such happening. Yet my educated guess will be that such mass exodus from game will not result. People will adapt play within the rules. A few will try to cheat, for they are sorry individuals.
