    Yeah you would have to raise an eyebrow about sephi and his milestone 2 million prestige, deffo another cowboy cheater in my book, he can't get away with out being punished like the rest or else it will make a mockery of the prestige punishment. Ban him.

    It is perfectly possible to get 100k prestige per day legitimately, so don't go branding people cheaters when you clearly have no idea how they play the game.
    However the point still stands as to why he wasn't hit too if they were flagging people by prestige increases.

    They were only looking at prestige jumps between certain dates. So if people were away or slacking off and their prestige didn't increase too much between June 17-21, they were not singled out.

    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?
    It is not my personal belief that you should be told not to eat your snot either, but you should know not to. Also, no one really tells you that you should not drop bags of drugs indiscriminately in public parks.
    Also, did the 'smart people' submit a bug report? If you are so helpful, then I am sure you did. In that case Mr. Smarty Pants, I am sure you would realize that it was a bug and should not be abused.
    I think those that abused the system should be punished. Perhaps, no more prestige to be gained ever. Instead of having a prestige score, simply put CHEATER in that spot.
    Now hush up and get that finger out of your nose!

    My pm from Dawnseeker as follows:

    "Eve Vixxen,

    Your Prestige has not been stagnant. You gained over 100k Prestige in 4 days from June 17-21. Can you please describe in detail how you were able to gain such a large amount of prestige without exploiting? Please quote this message when responding."


    And before you label me as a cheat - i believe i was able to provide enough battle reports and a reasonable enough explanation to prove that my prestige gain was legitimate. Time will tell i guess, perhaps i didn't. *shrug*

    Don't troll or flame. there is no need.

    1. 5k? from the odd build research
    2. 30k from maxed out recruiting.
    3. 65k use the troops from maxed out recruiting to farm lvl ten barbs.

    Yes, this is a good day, and a long day. I seem to remember sephi claimed to suffer from insomnia.
    Before you post back telling me I'm a moron, consider this: just because you cant imagine something being done doesn't mean it cant be.

    Mind you, perhaps i am making assumptions that it was only those 4 days they looked at. Perhaps those were just the days when i gained over 100k prestige. I know during that time i looked at my rank (i don't look at prestige - knew i had 800k - but not an exact amount) and saw i'd dropped down from rank 20 to 22. Figured i'd let my archers drop too low - so i stopped attacking as much and started to focus on rebuilding my archers.

    So perhaps they looked at 10 or 20 days... or 50 days... and these 4, were the 4 days when my prestige exceded their expectations. who knows..
