Thread: Just an Idea

  1. #1

    Default Just an Idea

    I opened a ticket up on the evony help center site awhile back with an idea similar to what they're instituting now. I'm no computer programer but i'm sure they could figure out how to do this. Instead of instituting a captcha for staying ingame how about putting one in for the comfort and heal functions. This stops cities from comforting and healing while on auto and allows cities to actually be capped again. This is the main complaint most people have with those that use a third party program. I actually don't mind all the free food i get to plunder on a regular basis but it would be nice to actually cap a city again. I realize that either option(the current or my proposed) will achieve the same goal but with my option it will impact gameplay and attacking alot less.
    my apologies if this isn't in the correct section and i've seen other posts on this subject get closed so i would appreciate it if the mods could leave it open at least for a bit so we can get some feedback on this.
    thanks

    Oh yeah, and let's add it for every npc hit sent out also. You're a genius!

    ibtl, but my comment:

    What you are saying equates to:

    I'd really like botters to continue to be able to bot, because I like the resources, so could you rig the game to where it's easier for me to get the resources and still let the botters do their thing?

    Never mind that "big players" literally drool over the idea of comfort and healing restrictions, because it enables them to bulldoze over "small players" with even more ease than they do now.

    easy fella's, i don't even have to deal with the problem yet on my server so i can't say how bad it it. I just see a massive outcry about it and thought this may be a viable solution. To be honest it's going to change very little either way, bots or no bots, the players who have the time and money to spend will just eat up the smaller players even faster i think. The select few truly good players on each server will just steamroll over everyone else, which is of course how it should be. Be it fair or not is up to the individual's discretion.

    There's no point if you're wanting to make the captcha just for comforting and healing. That's pointless. A good part of the botting is using it to get food also.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the suggestion however at this time, we'll not be implementing it. The way captcha currently works will remain in testing.
