Bots ruin the game in the following ways
1. They impact server performance: I am tired of server lag because some punk is running 200 bots against the server.
2. They lead to exponential cheating: there is a guy on na50 with 200 alt accounts in a single state (cities every 10 miles). When you get hit with 1 million catapults 1 month into the server opening, it is pretty aggravating. When 0,0 falls 21 days in because 4 guys are running hundreds of alt accounts (all botted), it is pretty lame. In response, other players start trying to do the same (thus the "exponential" aspect to this).
3. They lead to elevated star sets: 10 guys with 15 sets 2 months into server opening--that was never intended by evony.
4. They cause other players to quit and never come back. When a server goes from 500 players to 50 players in two months because 0,0 has fallen and everyone is getting wiped by a handful of hardcore botters and coiners, it ruins it for everyone. Servers become ghost towns. Fewer people spend money, and evony starts losing revenue. The game gets boring.
5. They provide defense of cities while offline, which is hardcore cheating, and leads to other problems.
I am a paying customer since na4. Unless the bots finally go away, or are somehow curtailed, I go away.
