No, your argument is specious, and you fail to grasp the fundamental concept which others have been attempting to tell you...
No matter what you change, bot makers will adapt their software to accommodate those changes (like they did with captcha) and in the end all you do is end up hurting otherwise legitimate players.
Changing comforting costs to 10 mil was supposed to "cure" the problem (just like captcha was the "cure" before that...) Myself, and others, argued it was going to change nothing... and sure enough, here you (collectively) are back again demanding more changes to a system which we were told was going to be "fixed" with your last change (and the change before that... and the change before that... and the change before that....)
If you want to fix the problem of botting, there is one, and only one, solution. Ban people who bot. Period. Then you don't have to change any game mechanics, do you?
Interesting thread especially not 6 months ago this very forum was full of threads describing this very issue. Im not *****ing or singling anyone person out. Asking for this fix or another until the cows come home, it won't however change a thing. Yep that broken record again.
The fact is simple, change the attitude towards how you think this game should played. I've been constantly told that I'm not "living in reality" and that everyone bots because that's how the game evolved. Fine, then "evolve" it in such a way to find your own methods of beating various bot mechanics instead of wanting another change. Or everyone stops botting and the excuses as to why they need to bot. Either way you get what you want.
To off topic I've seen the requests, sorry guys I've been snowed under with work and has neither the time or energy to whip Photoshop out. It may take sometime.

Thanks to Infinitus for the epic B'day pressie!
failed to grasp at a fundamental concept? i think ive said at least twice in this thread bots are the problem, you seem to love going around in circles piggy
see this is how simple threads on a clear cut topic turn into 50 page threads, ppln with selective reading skills
let me do some cliff notes, in bold so you cant miss them
Bots are the root cause of the city capturing issues. yes we know. we KNOW!! WE KNOW!
Botting is too widespread to stop now without drastically hurting the playerbase.
This is a war game.
Other solutions need to be found to keep it competitive.
this is why this thread and others have been created.
got it cupcake, and chupra, and mechhead and morgan?
