Thread: Prestige Reset Concerns

  1. #91

    Exclamation I am not affected but irritated

    Ok Dawn I am not one of the ones that was affected, but I voted for them to get their prestige back. I know that the three I am defending are individuals who did attack a lvl 10 NPC but it was not to exploit it was in response to the message that the NPC's would be deleted. They were trying to cut down on their army. Then there is one individual Hawkman in our alliance that did not do anything and he was punished. Tell me how is this fair. They were responding to Evony's NPC issue. Alot of the members can not feed their troops without doing the NPC's. Since this is the begining issue then how about we fix the food and resource production. Now you have what should be High prestige members being attacked by noobs, and they are dying. How is this fair to the Noobs? All of this is being handled poorly and I am personally one of the individuals who pay for this game, and I will not spend another cent until this issue is resolved! In case you are curious there are many like me. I hope that this gets through.

    Heh, I'm not worried about racial profiling. The small select few who aren't criminals will or might be freed, who cares, but the majority of those who got arrested is fair game and will make excuses that people are racists or whatever helps them sleep at night. The majority agrees that racial profiling is fair. Only the small portion of the community who are black obviously massively disagrees, as they should, since they're all tv stealing criminals. Arresting all black people is the greatest thing a country could do, other than genocide of certain groups. /hail Hitler!

    Interesting Dialog, and Evony is LOVING it. Really they are.....

    Listen to the PASSION from both sides of this issue, without the passion, players who were reset to NULL would just quit and go on to other activities. Players that were not affected would be reading other aspects of the forum or planning a battle. But they are here writing and arguing their points.... Passion

    This was a flaw in the code, yea a flaw or a SMOP as I like to call it (Small Matter of Programming) but it exposed the Passion, the energy of the dialog is there for this game....

    What does that mean? Well it means they got something good going on, even if it has a few SMOP's in it (and there are more too).

    But anyway it means they are making and plan to make LOTS of MONEY on this game. Follow the money, right. This game did not get created to be free, it is here to make money and grow as much as possible creating wealth and jobs.

    Note the increase in Servers and Worlds of late.... This stuff cost money, thusly they are doing well. And I wish them well, I would like to see them grow into a top of the line on-line game.

    Follow the Money, and keep up the Passion, my Friends and Enemies out there.

    Aside: Wonder if the Evony Inc. has hired an Tax Attorney, CPA, and book keeper that are Reading the Tax laws to minimize their taxes per year? You bet they are, but that is not exploiting the tax system, right..... lol

    Actually it's called playing within the rules. One x-President wrote off his dirty underwear and socks to pay less, was in Money Magazine.... Mujuk1

    All this poll shows is that the VAST majority of voters say that reverting to 0 was the wrong move.

    It also shows that the VAST majority do not want a full reinstatement of the prestige.

    Finally, it shows that we can't agree on anything.

    Here's a novel idea, own up to the fact that this problem is not created by players, it is created by shoddy mechanics. No matter which side of the isle you stand on, I think you'll agree that the mechanics here are worse than the whole idea of a "stimulus bill."

    Own up to the mistake, fix the wrongdoing, and move on. (Then fix the battle system, and if you tell me wait till Age2 then I've got a certain finger dedicated to you.)

    But the Stimulus Bill in going to help raise the inflation rate.

    More government spending, more regulation, less defense, yea Change, We need Change.... Evony needs to do really well to help pay the bill.

    Mmmmm balance, isn't it wonderful. In a free game where someone can spend money on "speedups" build town after town for pres only to barb them and start new ones.

    Meanwhile, something accessible to everyone and that appears in game guides has to be punished.

    People wonder why I have trust issues

Loyalty would drop as they (peasents) would know as the guy who ordered their sons/husbands/fathers to suicide attacks

    so the whole 'exploit' was unrealistic in the first place
    First addressing this, no game is completely realistic. Or you wouldnt need few hundred attacks to capture a city, just lay siege.

    Secondly, i herd evony was a strategy game, i would like to ask, where is the strategy? Unless this game is about a war of attrition, the person would spents the most time/money in the game wins. If that is so, i must as well go play runescape or maple. I was attracted to evony cause of the strategy... yet i havent found it.

    Also, someone please tell me if layering is a exploit. Yeah, i know 100k archers shooting at 1 swordmen sounds stupid, so please tell me is if it is a exploit before the mods reset my armies to 0. Also, the 'method' of storing resources in the market, is it a exploit? Please tell me too before the mods resets all my resources.
    Demons relent,
    Obey my command,
    Bring forth your fiery ocean,
    Bring forth your mighty destruction.

    MAKE THIS LAND BURN!!!
