    As much as I <3 arguing with Troll/whiners, I will only say this once.

    Evony banned botters and multi-accounters FOR US. NOT FOR MONEY. OR PERSONAL BENEFIT. TO MAKE THE GAME A BETTER PLACE.

    I don't know how much money they lost through that move, but I'm thinking lots.

    I'm happy if you leave the game if you do nothing but insult it with your friends, and then come onto to the forums and tell it to them a little more clearly for reasons I do not understand.

    (I would just attack him if he played as well. Sibling rivallry carries everywhere in my family lol)


    But Evony has done a lot in the way of improving stuff around here. Realize the good they have done in this game and not look just at their faults.

    Trust me. If you do that you WILL go far in gaining perspective.

    Exclamation Working together?

    I must say that the developers of this game have created a great fun game. However there are some things that do need to be addressed and changed. When so many continue to have the same viewpoint on certain issues then is it to much to take a serious look at these and if possible and feasible make some changes. There are 2 main concerns I have with the game ( yes 2). 1 is the food consumption ratio. In order to have a chance at the game and actually play it as intended you must log on everyday and spend several hours farming for food. That definately is a major thing to be changed. 2 is the lag in the cursor as it freezes and also stops on a plot other than what you stopped on and clicked and sometimes jumps without you knowing it and you scout or attack someone you did not want to and can have some very negative affects. Hopefully these can be addressed and the game will be more enjoyable and I can stay on as I dont like having to be slave to a game lol. Yes there are many other concerns and I understand it does take time to find and fix and takes people and money. So, on one hand we do need to be patient on the other it is nice to know if it is being looked at. I see both sides and of all the games I have played this is the first with so many problems and complaints. There must be a way that the developers and players could work together to make this game a great fun game and the developers still make the money needed to achieve this. I have suggestions as I know many others do as well. I guess it all depends on the direction the developers see the game heading. Regardless of reasons and circumstances; complaining, berating, being disrespectful, and other negative responses is going to get no one anywhere. So in closing, thank you for the game and for what you have done to make it better and the time you listen to players.

    I think the Original Intent of this post was about what was perceived about the Heavy Handedness of the BanHammer of some posters as well as the arbitary closing of threads that are about uncomfortable subjects for the Company.

    There was a fairly enlightening thread about the EULA, and the TOS agreement that i found really interesting. The thread was deleted, and the person who seemed the most reasonable and logical about that subject was banned from the forums. Also, there have been many threads about botters closed, and though the banal asinin back and forth did need to end by some of the posters- there was a lot of interesting conversation that was coming out.


    Once again we all know that Freedom of Speech does not apply in here, but I just hope that sometimes the Admins realize that uncomfortable words may cause some wonderful actions.

    You are incorrect. Botting is a problem, and botting is specifically against the terms of use.

    This thread has went for 17 pages, with many trying to make an argument as to why it should be allowed for them to breach the terms of use they have agreed to.

    If you do use a bot, you will be banned. I'd rather no player is banned, and instead enjoy the game and the challenging achievements that can be earned.

    I'm one who has been accused of being a botter by many different players i've played since the Closed Beta Civony. I submitted many bug reports and things early on and some of it got changed to improve the game. Were a lot of it was pushed aside and ignored (at least that's the impression I get from the way the game now works compared to how it originally worked).
    I've been host of Many #1 alliances even been pushed into the position when i just joined an alliance. And there's a disturbing trend that has been happening with this game.
    It seams to me that more time / money is spent on getting new servers going then on actually improving the game and making it a more playable viable competitor to other MMO's out there.
    With my Current and FINAL server, Server 58. My goal has been from the start to take those I could find and teach to play the game in a way that makes other players quit. We actively HUNT the people now whom buy and spend mass money to line the pockets of your company.
    I find the responses to botting that your mods are making as incredulous especially considering that the original funding for this games construction came from those people whom Sell Gold or Gil and use bots in Other MMO's!
    But this game had promise and was one of my favorite outlets for my aggressions and I have been a highly active player. I'm one of those people who's computer is never turned off. So even without a bot i'm on 24/7. But I do have a life as well but worked around that by having my wife watch the game from time to time while I'm busy at work or sleeping to wake me if someone begins marching on me.
    I've worked with evony mods and such in a way most alliances couldn't even imagine having one of your own mods being my Diplomat in my Alliance and asking him questions to bring to the other mod's and reps.
    What we found out was startling. Apparently most the mods do not even get listened too either about the game mechanics and idea's tend to pass in one ear and out the other. I've seen Hundreds of posts from people offering good viable solutions to the issues your most active players have come across and the quote above is the only response given.
    I would agree botting is a problem. We have sent out mass mails to our own alliance members telling them that we do not approve of botting and it can be a kick able offense if you actually are caught doing this. So we have taken your terms and conditions and one upped you. We Hunt botters. We Hunt buyers. We kick botters.

    The reasons behind our crusade are simple.
    We are tired of not being listened to. We are trying to fight for what could once again be an awesome game with lots of potential and we want all people to join in on this effort.
    Since the pocketbook is what is listened to we need to start talking through it.
    We want everyone across multiple servers to stop playing all together and we will hit them till they are down to 1 city and cannot rebuild because we hit them again every time anything is built.
    I call out for all Evony players who believe in this game to ban together in this manner across all servers. Evony seams to in my opinion to not players anymore only their money. If any of you have tried some of the other versions of the game that have come out i'm sure you will agree.

    We don't want botters. We don't want buyers. We don't want money grubbing tactics from the game we love to play. I've been here since the start and I'm one of very few left from original play in this game.

    And I agree with you. Botting is a problem. however there are much bigger problems. I can take out a botter. I can take out a buyer. What I cannot do Is improve the game through suggestions and such if they are not taken seriously and the connection between the programmers and the players is broken.
    You can't tell if those people whom you taken out.... Are actually botting. You are conducting a witch hunt. Those people who are botting you kicked from your alliance lol are propbly not botting you have no way of telling. Your pretty dumb to think you can know for sure if they ar botting or not.... Really...
