    Less bots is less action is what you mean, because all those botters, if they stay, will be busy with farming the entire day. Instead of that now they have time to build for attacks, do attacks and chat with alliance mates.

    Instead they'll be busy out farming and sending the hero around to do queuing. I'm on the verge of quitting because it is too time consuming. Look at how much actions you need to do to simply queue some troops in one city. It's insane.

    1 Click on rally spot
    2 Select 1 scout
    3 Enter coordinates
    4 Select reinforce from scroll down menu
    5 Select your hero from scroll down menu
    6 click on ok to send
    7 click confirmation message away
    8 click rally spot popup away
    waaaaiiittt
    9 click on other city
    10 click feasting hall
    11 click appoint mayor
    12 select hero from scroll down menu
    13 click appoint
    14 click feasting hall popup away
    15 click on town hall
    16 click on productions
    17 change productions to 0
    18 click confirmation message away
    19 click town hall popup away
    20 click on barracks
    21 select amount of troops to be created
    22 click box to spread them around all barracks
    23 click ok
    24 click barracks popup away
    25 click on town hall
    26 click on productions
    27 set productions back to 100
    28 click confirmation message away
    29 click town hall popup away
    30 click on feasting hall
    31 click on appoint mayor
    32 select hero from scroll down list
    33 click appoint
    34 click feasting hall popup away

    I can perfectly understand why people resort to bots, it's because of all this bull. 34 actions to do a bloody simple thing like create some troops in one city. Do that times 6, 7, 8, 9 cities. It's total madness. People don't resort to bots because they want to cheat, but because they are forced out of lack of time.

    And I will quit too when I find real life work, there simply won't be any time to do all this stuff that has been created to be as bothersome and time consuming as humanly possible.

    If not a single bot would work, 99 percent of any server would only farm. With low troop amounts it's impossible to break a defense with low troop amounts anyways, so why would you go on the attack? It will be basically pointless.

    I'm sure you're right. For years websites have used captchas to keep spam bots away but suddenly someone is going to develop programming capable of recognizing and typing in what the captcha says because Evony started using them.

    I considered this changed and read most of the comments so far...

    In the end, there is little good that will come from this change.

    The botters will find a solution
    The game play will be greatly interupted
    The game will now have a major inconvieniance

    And... the big guys, who have the big armies, who have the big heros and who will now need supplies are going to where?

    Think about it... it's not like a top player is going to dismiss his/her army?

    Not much good here... Sorry Evony, bad move. Just like killing the hero transfer, the long walk, unlimited hero storage, etc.

    All good tools that helped the game...

    Evony seems to think that people don't want a war game? To be honest, I don't want to farm 100's of 10's every day... boring!

    Well yes, they are cheating. Honestly, we are on the same side here. I would rather see no botters than botters. But if the bots are there, there's no harm in thinking about the positives; and the challenge of smiting somebody's inflated war city certainly is a good one, is it not?

    Basicly if you remove the botters on the older servers, yould find a whole lot of empty space for you farmville players to play in because there wouldnt be enough people on those servers to keep them open any longer. The cost to operate them would be top high compared to paying players. Hows that gonna improve your game play and all the time and money you spent on the game?

    Captchas have been breakable for years... Just because Evony have decided to use one won't change that.

    You cant read the captcha well to the computer its just a few numbers and is read with ease. Evony cant keep bots out how they gonna keep out the part that can read the captcha and input it in for the player?

    All this is doing is ruiining the game for none botters. Honestly I dont care either way I love killing bots. But I dont wanna see my friends and so many innocent players gone because of bad ideas.

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.
    Hey I've already said the same thing. I would more than happy to spend more money on the game if they would just make botting legal. Nearly everyone is doing it already anyways. The issue is that tons of people have been complaining and crying for two years. Well people you've been given a solution whether it be a temporary fix or actual fix. Don't cry now, it's what you were all asking for.

    Or a publicity stunt to spread paranoia throughout the botting community, which is pretty much what this is. Maybe it will work, maybe it won't. The captcha certainly won't, unfortunately.
