Thread: Prestige Reset Concerns

    Can I point out that some players who were reset have already gained ~80k prestige. That would probably have been enough to flag them as farming. As the exploit has been nerfed, surely it is obvious they are capable of doing this through legitimate means?

    As for the prestige, players who used this exploit, should lose ALL prestige. If you only take the prestige you exploited for, what do they learn? NOTHING. There must be a punishment for cheating like this.

    And everybody who blames it on the Devs, it's a game in progress. If you think you can do better, please go ahead. Make your own game. If you can truely make a better game, I would love to play it someday. But if your just some person complaining about how you lost some prestige in a FREE game, then you have no reason to complain.

    If your prestige was taken, and you did not use the exploit, then yes, I guess I would be mad too. Just tell the Mods and Devs what happend. You'll probably get it back.

    -GREAT JOB DEVS AND MODS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORD
    Ok, but what about the guys who sent 90k warriors and transports to level 6-8 just to farm them. The prestige was just a side effect of game play. They were not using the exploit. The new nerf laws for npc farming made them use warriors instead of ballista, which was ok, until now. Why should they be punished for this. I attack npc with warriors all the time and i still have my prestige. I feel some players have been wrongly accused and need to be rewarded their prestige back. Rohin is one of these players. If he knew it was an exploit and that he was gaining high prestige from this, then he would have told everyone in the alliance to do it. That's not the case here. Everyone in our alliance has followed rohins game play type and we are all doing good using it. Its all earned the way it was intended, give it back please.

    I have mailed them - with proof of my innocence. As yet i've had no prestige returned and no apology. They were quick to label me (and others) as a cheat and publicly announce it to the server (by mass mail and removing my prestige) .. but they are not so quick about making amends.

    They did not check the battle report logs to see who had actually sent warriors to NPC's to gain prestige - they merely compared people's prestige from one day to the next and if you made over a certain amount - you were punished - no questions asked.

    Dawnseeker said that they reset my prestige to 0 becuase i made 100k prestige over a 4 day period - well i have almost 58k prestige now and it's only been a day and a 1/2.

    You all sit there and comment that everyone who was reset should be banned - well that would have been nice - to be banned for something i didn't do (and didn't even know about until after i was reset).

    Thank you for backing me up Alexios, much appreciated.

    I'm close to 100k prestige now, and I have been slacking on the farming since the prestige reset (you can ask Eve Vixxen). I'm very well capable of gaining over 100k prestige per day. And if I use a low level hero I can double the prestige made. I can compensate my loss very quickly. right now I'm just farming what I need, thats about it.

    What itches me is that being labeled as a cheater/exploiter.

    I really would start a discussion right here right now for all those crybabies that we should be banned etc etc, but I really am tired and don't have time for them.
    Shh! We're hiding. Be quiet everyone. That includes me. Shh! Who's making that noise? Oh, it's me again...

    Ok , so the devs told you that by getting prestige from npcs was cheating?
    NO, they never said a word, its noobs like you who are ruining this game.
    Besides which, they never penalized all the 1s who did that, must be a money thing, If you spend a chit load of money on this game , your exempt from the rules that they want everyone else to follow.

    interesting hypothesis. I know at least 1 person that used the exploit. Their prestige wasn't reset. After this post I did realize, the person had spent some bucks on the game, lol. Wouldn't that be a juicy conspiracy? Has Anyone that had thier prestige reset, spent any amounts of money, lol.

    Oh well, Like i said earlier, I never used the exploit. Prestige is NOT an accurate determination of power or accomplishment. A person with 4 cities is gonna earn a small fraction of prestige for building the same thing as somebody with 1 city. So, why would i waste resources(troops) to gain prestige which really means nothing.

    Why not just eliminate prestige? And honor, while we're at it. I mean really, what would change? Nothing!

    @rohin, That is a legitimate complaint and you should seek their attention for it, but there had to be some reason you were one of the 150 singled out imo.
    If you read what I said youll see its entirely true, I didnt say lose none, or no penalties, I dont know why you even quoted me if you arent going to go by what I said

    Starchief and Kage72,

    This is my theory exactly!

    They did not like the fact that I made it to the top 15 on server 5 and I never paid them 1 penny to do it.
    Not my problem, but I am punished for it.

    While some players who have had their prestige reset may quit, more players will join , who, unlike the exploiters, actually enjoy strategy and put work and effort into playing the game they way it was designed to play. Players with common sense between what is proper gameplay and what is an exploit. So if I were one of you guys on the development team, I would not worry in the slightest.

    Once again, great job.
    I agree 100%. Nice Job Evony.
