Bear in mind that we, as a company, do not gain anything from this action. We don't stand to make any additional profits (in fact, we'll probably lose some) and this has certainly created some negative backlash.

We did this to protect our players and preserve the legitimacy of the game. We don't want players to exploit and we certainly don't want players to feel that they need to exploit to "keep up with the Joneses."
hmm read the words quoted above in red. the weakness come from the designers of the game and the programmers, not the smart players who try to help them and find out all the features and smart moves.

how would a player know that you do not intense to help out smart players?
Are these players not work to obtain the resources, times and efforts to produces these inexpensive troops?

instead of promoting these players to help you guys finding out the "weakness" as you called it, or to us is tip for smart people, to improve this game? Now, we are not hacking the system nor or we try to crash the hardware but only to use what is provided to us (by the designers/programmers) to play this game.

Evony does not provide a manual on everything so what should we do? curiosity is a human trait as well as survival of the fittest. you guy laid down the rules and we play by it. you can't punish people by what they did in the past when there are no rule about what they did is wrong when there no manual or guide about this?

Evony Team make this harsh punishment just to cover up their mistakes. they try to blame these people for their mistakes. if they make the punishment too easy, then people would think that it is Evony Team's false (bad design/programming which no team is perfect.)

you should punish people for what they do when you tell them not to do instead of punish the actions that people take in the past when you do not tell them what's right and what's wrong.

who know in the future, you would tell everybody that you suppose to sell your coins at a higher rate than when they purchase them and then charge the extra amount on their credit cards/paypal etc.

PUNISHMENT only work for when people had been warned but still doing it wrong. Punishments for past actions only discourage people from playing this game. who know if you would announce other things that people are doing correctly now as a wrongdoings and then punish them for that?

even my 3 year old nephew knows this. is the whole team not as smart as a 3 year old kid or are you doing this just to cover up your mistakes in bad design/programming?
