    if your eliminating botting most people will leave as farming for medals is almost imposible and if your doing so so that we would pay for the senior medal box to get 2-4 nations is pretty darn stupid. It used to be that you were getting Medals from hitting level 10 npcs yes npcs and evony changed it cause they were people getting too many but botting wasn't an issue then as it is now. now they gonna change it back to what it used to be since sendint go a vally capping release capping release capping release not my cup of tea for a wisdom medal if any. but whatever evony imputs if cant keep up with people with $$ that spends on other computers ip stuff and all might as well holiday till no more cents left and reset

    Exactly! Same here.. I did that manual farming crap for as long as I could stand it. Not going back to that under any condition. If that means the end of evony for me then so be it. I am sure there are other companies that could use the money I spend, which has been a lot over the 4+ years I have been playing. I am not paying to not play and not paying to be miserable trying to manually farm to keep any kind of decent army going.

    Default Salary Concept

    The manual repetitive tasks just take any fun out of the game. So here is a suggestion for a new direction to the game that would eliminate the issues your having.

    1) Eliminate NPC farming. No one is going to pay money to sit there doing the same clicks hundreds of times a day.. day after day. (in fact they pay other people to come up with a way around it which is why the bots are common. All that is revenue that should be going to Evony but because you designed some aspects of the game so poorly, people spend it with the bot people instead. Until Evony realizes that people won't pay to sit there and NPC farm all day manually to keep an army going, then any attempts to fix the real problem are futile)
    2) Instead of food,wood,iron and stone give each account a budget or salary cap.
    3) Assign a cost to each troop type.
    4) Players can build any army they want as long as they stay under salary cap. As troops die new troops can be hired to replace them.
    5) This would level the playing field, eliminate the need for 100s of alts farming non-stop, eliminate the repetitive tasks and give the game a new, fresh aspect that focuses on strategy,teamwork and combat.
    6) kill all current armies and make everyone start fresh
    7) leave heroes alone.

    And attacking people successfully earns you an increase in Salary. Likewise successful defence improves your salary.

    That way people are rewarded for success, not failure as is so often the case in Evony.

    But I suspect we are talking about a completely different game. lol

    How about this for a fix: Let the old servers simply die or live as they may. Evony can do what they want to keep them going if they still have money coming in from them, or merge them as they die and then let them go away. They are effectively dead anyway, you can be in a top alliance and not see anyone in chat for days at a time, only automated bot messages coming across as someone uses their army to raid bot farms.

    Start 2-3 new servers with zero tolerance. Bot 1 time and you are not blocked for 12 hours, your account is reset. Use a glitch for resources or to inflate a hero 1 time, and your account is reset. Someone baby-sits your account, and both players are locked out for a week. 2nd time and they are reset. Get caught with 2 accounts and both are reset. Enforce the rules, all of them, 100%. Create POS filler accounts and you get banned, period.

    Do that and there will be no level 1000+ heroes out of BP. There will be no armies with billions of mech. The game will return to a game of strategy, now a game of overpower the world with the biggest glitched army you can hack. Try it as the game it was intended to originally be and see how it goes. Just give it a freaking try will zero tolerance.

    And while you are at it, eliminate all the gimmick items like the angel/devil stuff, gate brakers, etc. Return it to a strategy game and they are not needed. A couple other things may help, like not allowing npc's to continue to be made after the map becomes more than 90% full (if a city is abandoned when a state is more than 90% full simply erase the city rather than put in an NPC to fill the map). Make all ports have a cooldown, or say on a random port you have 10 minutes to port again or you have to stay there for 6 hours.

    Yes, I can hear a group of people yelling that it will never work. It will be boring. Whatever. We don't know because the hacks and cheats do not let us try the game that way to see! The game was fun when there were not armies of billions of troops, burns of billions per day, and the need for 200 alts to support 1 war city. When you did not have to play 7x24 because people could not port 10 cities in on you and destroy you in an hour, but even then there were cheats and hacks. Who knows, the game might be fun if people were given the chance to play it, not just see who can cheat better.

    You mean the old argument about eliminate the honor penalty where you defeat another person by making them kill a lot of your troops to burden them with honor so they can't heal but you can? It has always been a dumb concept to me, but once they allowed massive armies it became the only way to defeat a defended city. Eliminate the huge armies and then you can eliminate the flawed honor rules.

    See, cooldown is exactly the reason fillers are created to turn randoms into advanced. I have a few hours playing time. I port on someone. It truces. My night is ***ked because I can't port somewhere else

    I don't bot and farming for medals is actually pretty easy if you know what you're doing. Just another example of people getting lazy and relying on a script to grind for them rather than learn how to play intelligently.
