    Love the thread. Too funny. Rather than fix the problem by detecting and banning people who bot, let's change the program and penalize the people who don't bot. Typical evony mentality...

    dave even decided that comforting is the problem because a bot can misuse it :|

    let's outlaw fertiliser
    not because it doesn't have a valid purpose... but some idiot could load a van and drive into a car park with some motor oil and a detonator

    yeah, it's all because of the fertiliser... fertiliser is bad

    I honestly think that lets fix comforting is a diversion from the fact they took amulets away so people can start talking about something else instead...

    first never assume that i haven't read everything because i only point out the stupid bits

    be truthful...
    how ridiculous is it?
    the premiss is that a bot can comfort and that is bad
    so instead of killing bots or botters take comforting away

    pfft... would you just wake up to yourselves

    it's supposed to be a free on line game!
    sure, if you spend some money you should get an advantage over those that don't

    the biggest problem that evony has is not comforting!!!!

    you know what the biggest problem with evony is, so does dave, so does dawnseeker and so does thalin

    of coarse i'm not allowed to mention it, because it's against the forum rules to talk about it...lest i look like i'm promoting it

    so if you think about it, i mean really think about it... then instead of simply disagreeing with my dissent... please explain the merits of removing one of the primary parts of the game (if i'm on line i can save my city)

    or do you think dave has a valid point?
    you can always rebuild and repay the favour

    pa--- leeeese, keep shovelling :\

    EDIT: and no i've never done it, and yes i've lost more cities than you've probably ever captured, and no i've never been truly competitive since 2009, and yes i do believe if there's a rule it should be enforced

    The proposed solution reminds me a lot of chemotherapy... We'll poison the host (remove comforting) to kill off the bad cells (bots) and all the other good cells we kill off in the process (legit players), well, those are just a byproduct of the treatment.

    I seem to recall, oh, a year or so ago, implementation of captcha was deemed the end of bots throughout the evony universe... Until a week or so later when the bot makers came out with a captcha-solver for their bot.

    Whatever procedure people come up with to deal with bots, programmers are merely going to adapt in their bot software. I am confident whatever changes are made to the comforting system will simply result in a change to the bot programs, and a year from now we'll still be having this conversation, the same way the people on the captcha servers still have bots on their servers.

    The solution to bottling isn't to change game mechanics, it is to make the penalty for committing the crime so harsh that it isn't worth the risk.

    Why do more people not rob banks? Because they don't want to go to prison.

    One of the fundamental principles of a good quality management program: identify the root cause of the problem. The problem isn't with the comforting system.

    I hope they find a way to stop people comforting for days no end (=bot).. still keeping it possible for little players to save their cities if online.
    I can't figure out a way they make that possible...

    People do try to rob banks. They usually fail though, or give up cause they can't find a way to get through all the security systems.

    Why do people murder other people? Why do people do all kinds of other stuff that leads you to prison?

    If people are so easy to control and make afraid of the prison (reading your comment, I get the picture you assume this).. Why aren't all the prisons empty?

    what you and balaam are saying is great, i completely agree with you both, but for whaatever reason, be it that it would affect their income or its just too prevalent throughout servers to put a stop to now or whatever, evony just wont/cant do it, so instead other solutions need to be found, ie alter the comforting sytem

    and i think davemata is seeking a solution which cannot be worked around by bots, as botters like the rest of us, have to work within the confines and capabilities of the game

    and balaam in reference to your point, why should you be allowed to keep your city lonnnng after your troops have died and res been plundered? isnt this the whole point of a war game, youve been defeated, you lose your stuff.

    edit: I hope they find a way to stop people comforting for days no end (=bot).. still keeping it possible for little players to save their cities if online.
    I can't figure out a way they make that possible...

    spritze has the problem faced by davemata right here
