    Default People overreacting to prestige reset to zero.

    I think people need to chill out and look at what prestige really is.

    Also no one got "punished".

    Did evony take away your game cents or game items? no

    Did evony downgrade your title or rank? no

    Did evony take away your resources/army/buildings? no

    What did they do? reset your prestige to zero... which means absolutely nothing.

    Prestige is just an arbitrary number that means absolutely nothing when it comes to playing the game. Actually there are many times where prestige hampers how well you play... say for instance I build a launch pad city next to a player that I want to conquer, if I had 20k prestige the player probably wouldn't notice, but since I have over 400k prestige its going to send alot of red flags to the guy I'm trying to conquer.

    So why is everyone freaking out when basically nothing in the game changed except for an arbitrary number?

    Also one thing that I've learned from gaming, if you do something really really dumb and it rewards you... and you do it over and over... its probably an exploit and you'll probably get some kind of consequence in the future.

    I agree, it may benefit them too, they may be underestimated by other attackers

    Everyone who exploited this knew so.....now they're crying, and (surprise!), threatening to hurt new players because they got caught.

    @ Adante

    Presteige is obviosly not important to you, thats fine. But that is your opinion, do not expect the rest of the world to take your opinion as the norm. Wether it means anything to people or not, does not change that this has been handled wrongly. You apparently weren't affected, and don't care about presteige. There's plenty that were, and do. For most people it is a measure of time put into the game. A measure of status, and player power. Many people play and watch their prestige grow everyday and are proud of it. It is a score, you know what score is used in? Football games, Baseball games, Olympics, mini-put put, and it has been wrongfully taken away. When there is a foul in a football game, on the same play as a touch down, do they strip the teams score for the entire game? No, they replay the down that the foul was on, because this is the RIGHT way to do it.

    point nulled.

    Not really, as prestige didn't measure status or player power. For the most part it measures the number of times you have attacked NPCs.

    And I do not just mean those who used warriors, as Ballista farmers gain the bulk of their Prestige from NPCs as well (Which oddly enough, makes me wonder how come they get to keep their's.)

    Prestige doesn't measure anything. The fact that it has been reset to zero for a handful of people is far less of an issue then things like the food consumption bug when marching. The hundreds of millions of food I, and every other aggressive player, have had taken from each of us over the months is far more valuable then a bit of prestige.

    So, get in line. The situation was badly handled but no one cares. There are far bigger problems with numbers that are not meaningless.

    Umm, no. You gain 0 prestige from ballista farming. Zip, zilch, zero. Look at any of the links that were posted on that.

    sigh.. read my post again, this time pay attention. Pres is not meaningless.
    Ballisa farmers gained the bulk of their presteige on farming barbs? No, sorry, you are wrong there as well. Most of their 1st pres was from buildings, most of their later pres is from making troops everyday. No pres from ball farming.
    and this has nothing to do with your food, you are in the wrong thread.

    It has nothing to do with player power, status, or accomplishment. Rereading your post will not change that.

    As for the rest, you can go back and look at two months of battle reports.

    Are you SUPER DELICOUS? Prestige is required for title upgrades. At the rate of 6-10k prestige a day, it'll take months for 256k. Of course people like you know nothing about these things.

    Secondly, I am not a cheater and don't like being labeled as one. If someone as myself bothered to exploit this game, I'd have millions of prestige already.
