The only true solution to farming would throw the players into fits. Increase the amount of food your farms inside your resource Fields produce, lower the troop upkeep or a combination of both, then CAP the maxims amount of troops a city can hold. The cap can be fairly high so you would still need to do some farming to have the max amount of troops but it would be considerably less farming.
    I would say the only REAL way to stop farming is to eliminate NPC cities having any food... lol... then that would force player to constantly attack people just to burn troops so they don't refuge. This would yield a much faster paced, challegning, and exceedingly frustrating online gaming experience.

    The moderators cant help us in anyway apart from enforcing forum rules, a tad like a lame duck if you ask me. Was it too much to hope that they had a direct line to the next level so someone in Evony could take notice of the discontent.

    Dawnseeker seems to be one mod who tries at least, the mod for my server just deletes and threatens, wont listen and comes across as uncaring.

    The sheer stupidity of the rule regarding families playing together beggars belief. Back in my unreal tournament days there were families big enough that they were their own clans. One such family use to shout out across rooms to tell each other where the incoming attackers were etc etc. They didnt own the servers, they were a top team but not the top team. Teamspeak etc was being used by the opposition, so there was no advantage as such.

    With Adv teleports, teamspeak/vent etc how is any of this different to a family playing together, please Evony rep/moderator, explain to the stupid masses how they have an unfair advantage over members of an alliance using 3rd party programs to coordinate def and attacks. Why would any company go to such lengths to alienate groups of people who would be more likely to spend $.

    And you wonder why so many have such a low opinion of the decision makers.

    The wheels at Evony move very slowly, unless its about taking more $ from us. For how long now has the exchange items button stated "coming soon"........ well over 6 months, but yes, theres no money in it for Evony, and no doubt the person whose idea that was is still being beaten :O)

    The email addresses you can access to complain/enquire/etc dont reply, the auto bot does, it tells you that you will get a reply, 6 months later i still wait.
    You ask a question in the forums, and some moderator deletes it immediately. Stupid really when the question is one every server needs answering as just about everyone knows...... so at the risk of getting my whole post deleted again....

    Is it a ban-able offense to name your hero Queen ??

    And for those in this thread who say, if you dont like it leave, well its the big spenders that keep this game going for you and others. Regan Mercantile can put whatever they like as rules, but its the courts in the US who will decide if they have any validity. Back searching computers is illegal in some countries, they are only an internet gaming company, not God. As Google have just found out, the courts can rule in some mysterious ways.

    Yes, i am a bit more than a tad cheesed off with the way Evony treats its customers, but they have broken the last straw and will not get anymore $ from me. Nor will i move to the next version, and if its move or quit, then its off to the next game.

    The reason for the rant, simple... one person speaks out, might get banned, then another speaks out, and the movement grows. This is how mankind has changed many things on this planet, like apartheid. If enough players take a stand Evony will listen, as they dont want to see their cash cow walk out the door and into someone elses yard.

    When i first started on Evony in june, we got mail almost everyday saying
    Get your family and friends to join play our family run game and enjoy playing together
    So we do this and then 8 months down the line you change things again

    We made this game grow, we gave our money to you
    Is this still a family game or not, because the fun of playing with your family has been taken out of it

    IF you guys think Evony is bad now wait until Evony2. They must be insane to make a crap game like that which is solely based on cash without fixing anything that thousands of players have complained about. I fully expect them to lose over 75% of their paying customers if they do not fix the food problems and lower their ridiculous prices.

    Dawnseeker is not a "mod".

    Neither am I.

    No. I don't.

    I have seen literally hundreds of threads bearing tens of thousands of posts, a relatively large fraction of which are rude, instigatory, inflammatory, insulting, slanderous, outright lies, full of obscene language or pictures, or simply spam. That's in the last 24 hours. At some point, they all begin to run together and you have no choice but to scan through things looking for the above and simply delete it. When I find multiple examples of the above, all in a row, by one person, I ban or suspend the person. It depends on the severity of what was done and what his/her post count is. Those who have a total of three posts, all screaming from today...you can guess.

    BTW, I haven't even touched upon the worst things done in the last day on this forum. Meanwhile, people like you and your husband continue to make new threads, continue to post the same things that got you in trouble in the first place, and continue to encourage others to add to the massive pile of spam here today.

    So no, I'm not reading every word. I don't have time. YOU have ensured that, along with the others who have given themselves triple digit post counts in one day, all negative posts. Here's a hint for all who would like to be heard:

    1) Wait a few days for things to calm down so you aren't buried in the mess.
    2) Write a courteous and thoughtful pm or email to a rep.
    3) Be logical, be concise, and use proper spelling/punctuation. It hurts our eyes less.
    4) Paragraphs are nice; wall o' text is not.
    5) Wait patiently for an answer. Do NOT wait 13 minutes and spam us repeatedly saying, "Why didn't you respond?"
    6) Don't threaten us or our company, and don't try to force us to listen to you. My delete button has a hair trigger.

    Those who follow this advice get thoughtful and courteous answers in return. Many people yesterday and today got such answers from me, both on the forums and via pm.
