    Default Bans -- My opinion

    Okay, I understand the reason for the suspensions and have decided to try and legitimize my army. I have come up with a way to do so in game and will not be sharing it :P.

    What I don't like about this whole suspension thing is that I KNOW there are many many many botting players on my server who did not get banned/suspended which begs the question, who decided who was getting suspended and why just those and not the others. It doesn't hardly seem fair that there is an entire alliance out there that uses the illegal 3rd party program and they have 13 top 20 allies to do all their killing for them, so 2 people that I have found so far are suspended along with me.

    Those players in that alliance will not continue to have the freedom to do as they please mouth off as they please and not be threatened by anyone thanks to today suspensions. That's what makes me mad about it.
    What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?

    The mass bannings of bot users, multi accounters and account sharing players is the culmination of many investigations being concluded and all being banned at one time instead. At least that would be my best guess.

    If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

    Right, but why is that I'm suspended from my server along with about 6 other people and that's all?

    ummm because you cheated?
    As a cheat, i hardly think you have the right to comment on who else got banned. Fact is, you got caught, so tough, cant do the time, dont do the crime. So long as I know Evony are catching people, im happy.

    Ide just like to point out, You saying that proves something.. it proves you either have no life.. or arnt a very good player. Because later on in the game when you have 2m archers, and 1m cav and you eat 20m+ food per hour, do you know how hard it is to feed your troups daily? every time you go to sleep you loose 600k archers. The problem with evony, is unles you pay for the game... there is no alternative to botting if you actually want to enjoy end game.

    Im not supporting it, or saying you should. im just putting a fact out there. There is no way to play activly after a certain point.. Unles you can dedicate 12 hours a day and some real life money.

    I can assure you Kovacs is a good player and has more of a life than anyone who decides to cheat at a game because they're too lazy to play it properly. However, I under stand that many peeps actually don't have the time to farm but maybe want to stick with friends they have without getting pwned every day, that is as close as it comes to a good reason.

    You have to remember though, Barb farming was never intended to be a feature of Evony! Barbarian cities were there for the occasional boost with enough losses to make it barely worthwhile, blaming them for making a game that happens to reward more active players so much unintentionally is ridiculous...

    Barb farming indeed was never an intended feature to the level in which it happens now. Unfortunately evony should claim it was. Without it you simply cannot hope to break a properly defended city. I will of course be posting my suggestion here and in the suggestion board.
    1.Do away with the lump sum given towards capping an npc, leave the experience alone.
    2.Instead turn npcs into a type of valley and adjust their income. For example taking a level 10 barb takes a valley spot but nets you 19 million food 600k of all resoruces and 4.5 million gold per 8 hours in a tricke of resources. Of course a little play testing could help them figure out a good resource mix per 8 hours.
    3. Do away with valley food consumption penalty to house troops. Now watch the wars over npc valleys escalate and be an important strategic target instead of throwing millions at walls.

    lol, to be accurate you'd need to say "Good riddance to a few of the 1000s of botters"

    You're a pipe dreamer Kovacs, not all the botters got banned, and you'll NEVER see all of them banned, its not possible. AND even IF they did you'll still lose to a cheater who multi accounts or shares, they MAY catch the dumb ones that download bots from google, or don't understand IP addressing and proxies, but many many computer literate people DO (and to those people I'm not revealing anything, and to those who don't get it, they probably never will). Just like Kovacs will always get on and put a "Good riddance to botters" on every bot thread even though amazingly enough, a few days later theres another thread like this. Ever heard of a "cat and mouse game" people? saying "good riddance to botters" is like heralding the arrival of Norton antivirus 2000 as "good riddance to viruses"

    IMHO cracking down on those who cheat poorly without a method to stop ALL cheaters simply helps the more advanced cheaters obtain a GREATER advantage. And yes there is a method to stop bots (captchas! hello! any body home? think McFly! Think!) Did I say McFly? i mean Evony!
