Thread: Cheating? Paying?

Hybrid View

    Default Cheating? Paying?

    How is it fair that some guy can buy a bunch of coins and not be considered a cheater? If I were to spend a million dollars on this game. I could come in and play as Mr. Invincible. What type of fair play is this? You say no cheating but the whole point of being able to use money to boost your resources and speed up things is just as worse as someone who bots or has a multi-account or whatever other cheating you say is happening. So there I see a double standard. To me Paying is cheating. You need medals you pay for them and bam you can make twice as many archers as a guy who did not pay.

    Then evony says no this is perfectly legal and it is not cheating because that is how we make money. lol I find this to be humorous. What a great business model. The person who pays money is not a cheater. But if you pay money you get speedups, higher rank. Resources etc... etc...

    So is this game about who is skilled and using the most strategy. Or is this game simply a business to see how many people pay coins before they realize that this game doesn't test your skill like a chess game or some other game with fair play. This game is all about who is the best cheater!

    Um... Have you ever played an online game before? There are always two choices you can make; pay or not pay.

    What allows Evony to decide what is legal and what isn't is that they own the game. It is a good business model as other companies do the same thing.

    I find it humorous that forum newbs comment on what is wrong with Evony when they haven't participated on the forums.

    This was the most entertaining part of this POS thread I noticed.

    I can make more archers than you cause I've got MEDALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    EDIT: I know he's suggesting being able to produce archers in another city that the non-payer doesn't have, but that's not the way it was worded so I poke fun at that.

    What part of 15 barracks per city 5 cities vs 15 barracks per city 2 cities.

    75 barracks vs 30 barracks with equal research say all leveled out of 10 and equal everything. You max out what you put in there too. So everything equal and you don't see an advantage I think you don't know how to add.

    Default Seriously?

    I'm sorry, I just find this rant completely ridiculous. You are playing a game offered to everybody for free, instead of charging an upfront price to users, which by the sounds of it you couldn't afford anyway.

    In addition they have the roulette wheel set up so you, a free user, can have a chance to win the very same items and resources that that people that spend money to support evony can purchase, including game currency.

    Evony is not a non-profit organization, don't be stupid. The cost of maintaining this game is far from free and of course they have to pay the bills somehow. Even if you choose not to help continue the Evony experience, you are still allowed to play along with paying customers.

    Be grateful that you even have the opportunity to play this game, if you think that it is too un-fair for supporters of the game to have access to what they want when they want it, simply do not play. It's that easy.

    Yes that is what I am thinking about doing. If you notice the stats the people with the highest prestige and honor have higher ranks and titles. Do you find this a coincidence? As you can see in any server the people on top are the paying players. So yes you pay you are on top. So all this stuff about bots and cheaters is funny. Because to me paying players are just as guilty of cheating as a bot person or multi-account. So whatever.

    actually, a lot of people in the top 200 on my server *myself included* are only Knights because we can't get medals for promotions.

    My last words as to why I thought it was cheating. Speed Ups. If you have enough Money you can buy speedups. You can start Farming NPCs Early build up a big army and wait till people get out of BP. Speedups Speedups Speedups...

    And last but not least Speedups. Why because this game is all about time time time. And thats why I quit. Time Time Time.
