Thread: Uninvited members entering the alliance

  1. #1

    Default Uninvited members entering the alliance

    After battling the botters and getting absolutely no help or assistance from Evony, who appear to endorse the practice, there is now a new threat.

    It seems that we are finding uninvited guests in the alliances. They appear without invite and without approval. Now, I know some will say an officer invited or a pres accepted but I know for a fact neither of that happened. Mainly, because my wife and I run the alliance and we're closing it down because Evony have done nothing about the botters for the last 12 months which has ruined the game so we're quitting. That means that only her and I are host/VH and there are currently no off/pres. However, a new player joined our alliance last night.

    I checked with our sister alliance and low and behold 2 new members of insignificant prestige, had joined the alliance there too. I have heard that it is a 'feature' of a bot. I suspect that would be true as it is also well known that bots can declare on other alliances without the required permission.

    So Evony, whilst I know the last 12 months have only yielded a standard response when we complained about the botters, time and time again, are we likely to get the same response for this one too? Is it beyond any of your capabilities to either get rid of the bots or fix these sort of problems rather than reducing the gift options or discussing the removal of Comforting. All these are not solving the issue. Blind Freddy can see the issue - Botters. You should clean it up because it is pathetic that you claim not to be able to stop it. For a commercial game it would not be accepted anywhere else but here.

    There are two ways to stop this.

    1) have membership of alliance at 100, or
    2) only have numbers in the name of your alliance i.e. 12345678

    I don't know the methods used to get in the back door of an alliance, I know it's something to do with upper case and lower case letters. That is why numbers only in an alliance name stops it.

    Thanks Eartha for the reply and certainly worthy of taking note. We've run this alliance on NA20 since the day the server opened and have always had the same name. Even if we were to decide to stay, we would have to kick everyone out, restart a new alliance with all numbers, then invite everyone back again. A nightmare to say the least. Keeping 100 members isn't always easy especially on a dead server like NA20. I guess the point is, this has been a known problem and I've seen posts dating back to 2010 about this one issue. Is there really nothing that Evony can do to fix this problem after 2 years? People from the red alliances can come and enter alliances without having to have permission granted. I know we could read the events everyday, check with every officer to make sure it wasn't ligit, then kick them assuming that they haven't declared on everyone in the meantime, but why? Why do we work around these problems after 2 years waiting for it to be fixed? Why oh why are Evony not addressing these issues instead removing ammies and contemplating the demise of comforting because the botters use them to their advantage.

    Everyone else has to put up with the crap solutions Evony scramble to implement because of those that cheat. Surely, once and for all, Evony could stop these countless work arounds and fix the real one and prominent problem - botters. They clearly endorse it else they wouldn't be continually trying to put in stop gap measures. This costs them money so it doesn't make sense why they encourage people to use a bot. 15 sets every day now because of the NPC farming (no buying gems), food is no longer a problem (as much as a result of clearing up the mult-tap farming), hundreds of alts botting supplying troops to the big and mighty. This new problem occurring now just makes the whole thing a joke. A joke at our expense. At your expense.

    It shows what Evony really think of us, the users - we're just not worth considering. It's such a bloody shame to have spent all this time and effort, for the past 2+ years on this server alone, to have it all wasted because of the lethargy that Evony are showing to getting rid of the botters. Farmville, eat your heart out.......

    Some people would look at that answer and determine it was delivered from a very disgruntled person TentPig.

    I look at it as someone who has hit the nail fair and square on the head

    But still I argue..... botters are taking money from Evony as in the alarming number of gems these people farm in one day just wouldn't make them wanna front up with any cash. You would have thought they would have jumped on that little cash cow quick smart?

    note: u need to have numbers BE the alliance name not simply be INCLUDED ... for example alliances 180 360 420 and 1 would be impossible to bypass whereas alliance cetT25T would be possible to get into despite the numbers

    Are we all seeing a common theme here? After years of it being a problem there is still no solution yet new servers are coming online with exactly the same issues.

    We all have to work around such a basic problem. Ludicrous to think that we all have to change our alliance names to all numbers to stop these people from getting in.

    It's such a fundametal flaw for heavens sake - Can Evony not give us a single response to explain why it still exists and now why we all have to suffer these work arounds instead of having to get along and play the game?

    Disgraceful!!!!!!!!
