Thread: SOME of You Cheaters, Beware!!!

  1. #1

    Default SOME of You Cheaters, Beware!!!

    This is NOT a BOT thread.

    EVONY wants to ban bot programs because they feel that the players using them are abusing the system they have created by automatically setting building upgrades, hero hunting, NPC farming, etc.

    Fine. It's their ball. They can bounce it any way they want.

    But when the topic begins to turn to players having multiple accounts on the same server, EVONY gets real quiet and the thread gets closed.

    WHY?

    Probably because if they ban multiple accounts, that "11 Million Players Online" ad they just posted would read "5.5 Million Angry Players Wondering Where Their 'Other' Account(s) Went".

    Cheating is cheating, regardless of the style of cheating.

    Where is the threatening letter about legal action against players using feeder accounts?

    EVONY has the ability to stop feeder accounts, not bots. They have chosen to allow one type of cheating which they CAN stop, and ban a type of cheating they have no real way of stopping, other than guessing who is using a bot.

    Hypocrisy anyone?

    If you want to ban cheating, ban cheating. If you want to allow cheating, allow cheating. But be consistent.

    It's one or the other, not both.

    The problem with standing on both sides of the fence is that, eventually, you fall and land on the fence.

    well the prob is they have to prove you ahve 2 accounts. i personally have several members of my family sharing a fixed ip. so it could look like I have several accounts. Thou I only have 1. see where the problem is?

    Default A simple call then...

    ...To the devs of Yahoo Games, Ultimate Bet, PokerStars, or a number of other online gaming sites that have developed a simple method of preventing multiple accounts from an IP.

    It's hard to convince me that the ability isn't there. Perhaps the knowledge then?

    As far as several people using the same IP...

    If single players can take advantage of the system, it needs to be banned. Not every player has the knowledge or the time to do it, but EVERYONE has the potential to do it.

    Again, both sides of the fence.

    fangs, what would you say if you weren't tethered up and muzzled?

    That Evony talks a good game, but never follows up on their word?

    We've been hearing for months now that bots and multis will get what's coming to them. Have they?

    Does anyone know someone who was banned from Evony for using a bot or having more than one account?

    Fang's point is that he's not sure, and so neither am I. I don't work for EVONY, so I don't know what they are capable of. He isn't a dev of the program, so he doesn't know.

    I hadn't noticed, actually. I'll look around a little more carefully then before I open my big mouth again.

    no my point is many of the things i would normally say to something like this to get my point across would be frowned upon and it would not be wise to say.

    that and its very possible to do both things you have stated with the use of a few software programs and an "all seeing log" as some would call it.

    Why has it come to this point? Why have they (you?) waited to use this "all seeing" programming?

    It would seem that it's in the best interest of the game to use these programs from the beginning. The players are frustrated. The devs are frustrated. Why has it come to this? Why not use it from the beginning to prevent the problems?

    You can't honestly tell me the devs trusted in the honesty of the internet community.

    Why allow it to this point?

    If my post seems somewhat offensive or angry, I'm sorry. This was not meant to be a arguementative thread, I'm just looking for a reason to stay in the game.
