I've said for a long long time, maybe not here but elsewhere, that bots are used because of two particular reasons.
1. Resource management. This game is big on this and this is exactly what the bot does. If used on ONE account (main acct), then you can sustain a reasonably higher level of troops and/or resources than without it. This effect gets multiplied when you start using secondary an on accounts. The massively huge armies are I think the issue here.
Large armies are NOT achieved because of the use of bots, it is, however, because of the allowance of using multiple accounts on a normal basis. If multiple account usage was disallowed, then armies will HAVE to be scaled down to what 1 account can reasonably support. This might be a doubling or maybe even tripling of a large army through non-botting methods.
Why are large armies achieved by multiple accounts and not bots?
Every extra account that is used multiplies the effect of how many troops can be achieved in a single account in a relative short amount of time. With only ONE account, the time span gets much longer to achieve the same number of troops and thus is not reasonable to have so many troops. Time becomes a hindrance towards building bigger.
2. Ultimately, the biggest reason of all is simply because Evony staff have simply not enforced the rules. That is plain and simple. Without enforcement on the rules, then there is no real deterrent towards stopping the use of bots.
So, if I can go into a bank and steal all the money from each bank teller and not only get away with it but get rewarded and praised by others for having so much money... why should i stop doing it?
Edit: I forgot to mention one other point as to why large armies are achieved by multiple accounts and not botting. Even before bots were widely used, unreasonably large armies (for non-bottting days) were achieved by people that had multiple resource gathering accounts. Whether legitimate or not, they had much bigger number of troops compared to even the 'bigger' players simply because they had more cities producing resources for them.
