Personally, I do not farm or bother with such small players nor do most of the large players I know. Often we help and teach them. We are in a battle with other large alliances with equally large armies.
If it is Evony's goal to limit the size of our armies by maintaining ridiculous upkeep requirements, they are extremely short sighted. I've played for over a year and have grown continuously over this time. I wish to continue to do so, which means I want keep growing my army more and more. That is why we play, these armies do not build themselves!
This is a war game. We farm and build troops to grow. Those that lose battles experience attrition. It is part of the game and building huge armies is a totally valid game goal and way to keep score. There is no need to level the field with the small players who either play little to keep up, or made the conscious decision to start on a mature server with many, many big players. If those of us are going to continue to play this server in perpetuity, then we will expect to continue to grow our armies. Why else keep playing? Don't you think it might become boring?
Advantage you say (to the player with the larger army)? You're damn straight! But it is an advantaged EARNED BY PLAYING THE GAME!!!!! It takes work and achievement, unlike all the advantages gained by those who coin (which apparently does not concern Evony so much). However, without the ability of honest and free players to build and achieve large armies, how can we keep up with those that buy their way, or those that multi-account or bot?
I'm sorry, but you are just wrong on this issue.
