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.
