    its that simple, 24hr loy raising and attacking closed gates is boring, i don't care if they bot or account share, i just want to be able to fight someone,

    im sure alot of you have ported on a hc only to have it loy raise till you leave, or had someone port to your state then attack offline players while keeping their gates closed.
    those are the people that just love comforting and can't defend their own sh1t....anyone that says the comfort game is good should learn how to fight.

    learning how to fight is easy. . . being available 24/7 to defend is stupid, and because of this stupidity comforting and botting defense have evolved.

    And that is exactly what will happen if the comforting system is messed with. Larger players will be able to "bully" smaller players into submission, and most of those will simply quit.

    Remember the adage of age 2? "No Bullies" ?

    Without a comforting system in place which allows active, live players to comfort their cities when under sustained attack, the balance of power on any server immediately shifts to those who coin -- for they can afford the excals, etc. to build larger armies faster, have the stronger heros, etc.

    If anything, elimination of a comforting system encourages people to bot, by forcing someone who might otherwise play with a smaller army to now attempt to sustain a huge army for purposes of defense.


    ban the cheaters pure and simple, that will fix the game

    As a network admin, I refuse to believe that Evony's staff are incapable of detecting botters with 100% accuracy. I'm certain with wireshark and a couple hours of work, I could build a snort ruleset which would flag botter traffic.

    This means there is one, and one reason only, why botters are not banned -- they represent a significant part of Evony's customer base which coins, and any serious crackdown would affect a sizable portion of their income stream.

    Thus, what you read on the forums is little more than lip-service, designed to quell the complaints from the non-coining whiners.

    After all, there are no in-game ads in Evony, and thus, Evony is 100% dependent on those people who do coin to support their operations.

    I really hope comforting doesn't get changed. Botters and account sharers have brought it to this point agreed. However, do you think this wonderful idea is going to suddenly make people see the errors of their ways? No I don't think so either.

    All it's doing is hurting the legitimate players-again. Lets say your're on line and you've lost all the troops defending your prepared to lose. All you can do is defend the city using comforting. Now you have to contend with a comforting cooldown and the possibility of losing a city just because of the massive amount of botting that's doing the rounds. You play fair and just say your attacker doesn't. The botters win again.

    Thanks to Infinitus for the epic B'day pressie!

    i can lose my city in just a few hours even though it could have taken me a month to build

    let me remind you this is a game
    in this game you have to get loyalty to 0 and grievance to 100 to take the city
    that's the way it works
    there's a lot of things that don't match real life
    in 2009 it worked this way and comforting is not the problem

    i think everyone is missing the point.....

    remove comfort ~ player uses all troops to defend city ~ player does not want to lose city ~ player has to purchase teleport ~

    sounds a lot like evony to me, anything to make some extra $$$$$$$$

    comforting should not be removed. that is my stance.
