I think everyone is getting bogged down in rhetoric and misinformation here.
You will never have a level playing field, as 1player may be able to be online for 20hrs a day while another only during his/her lunch hour. In fact this is how bots came into being to address such issues
Those that lament the loss of those innocent days when bots didn’t exist in Evony, probably also miss the horse and cart.
Remove those rose tinted glasses, and get over it the automobile is here to stay.
Evony has stated many times in the forums that the ip restriction is coming to ALL servers but still, some out there choose to believe otherwise
We are not staging our protest to wreck the game we all love. No we are merely voicing our concern at Ebony’s arbitrary imposition of 3 accounts per IP without any consultation with their customers.
We agree Evony has the right to run their business as they see fit, but we customers also have the right to spend our dollars as we see fit.
We are exorcising that right. We choose to withhold our hard earned dollars and encourage all those who feel the same.to do likewise
We refuse to fund this imposition so therefore REFUSE TO COIN!
We have in the Evony community have many tech savvy guys and gals who, if Evony would only try and work with, we could surely find a solution that would benefit both Evony and their customers
Change is the law of life, those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.
We all must adapt to change as it is inevitable. We fail to adapt decline is also inevitable.
The only real question is how Evony and we adapt to that change!
The most well constructed part of your argument was the most pointless one. You can still bot. Evony has chosen to limit botters more than non botters, rather than just ban them. So that horse and cart part or 20 hour stuff really had nothing to do with anything.
You can be upset all day and half the night. So? Don't coin. Why do you have to tell everyone your not coining? If people just stopped, and your theory is correct (it isn't), I'm pretty sure Evony would notice without you having to tell them.
I think you are somewhat naïve in your outlook.
By your own definition Evony has already accepted that the automobile is here to stay. as they done nothing about it for years.
Also I wonder if the fact that Evony, by choosing to restrict the IP rather than banning, is more down to the fact, that even Evony realise that botters/multi acct spend more than so called non botters.
Could anyone really blame Evony for not banning botters if it meant a drastic reduction in their revenue, I certainly couldn’t.
You said what I said as if you were about to disagree... I'm confused by why you phrased it that way. I said they are choosing to limit rather than ban, and you just listed a further reason as to why they would do that. But my point again, they are "letting" you bot. So that part of your original argument doesn't mean anything.
I never said why your theory on forcing them to change the servers back wouldn't work, you assumed I would argue that they wouldn't lose that much money. They probably will lose some income. I'm sure they'll save some money though, in the long run. But I don't think the boycott will even last, let alone get widespread enough for Evony to care.
And I'm not saying their letting you bot because they've done nothing about it in the past. I've been banned for it. I'm saying it because Dawnseeker has said multiple times only people WHO BOT are getting limited to 3... and none of my posts mentioning it have been deleted yet... which is a new thing.

Browsers come with spell check for a reason.
Seriously though, these 'LETS NEVER SPEND MONEY AND BUY CENTS AGAIN" boycotts never work. It's all hot air and steam from a vocal minority claiming that they represent their entire server.
Notable examples: Server 127 upset that they weren't merged. Server ss47 upset that they weren't merged. Captcha. Server 151 having lag issues. Server ss1 not being merged. etc etc etc.
