Wow... 😳

As far as I am concerned, the limit in EMs reduced the time i spent on hd by 95%. And reduced the real money i spend on the game by 100%.

120,000% agree with you. Why spend the money when it literally can take months if not years to expand and upgrade.

The bots would still be dealt with if the limit applied only to buying from “strangers”. There should be no limit for friends. At the very least there should be no limit for neighbors... that would solve the problem of transferring EMs between our own farms as well as let us help NH members.

That wouldn't work because anyone could invite the EM selling botter as a friend until the transfer is done. Or invited to the hood, and once done, kicked out.
Not to mention hoods composed entirely of bot farms.

I have given up hay day too after 6 years. It takes too long to get expansion permits and this makes the game boring. The game is more for newer players I think.

for those who were adversely affected by bot buyer activity, the limit was a blessing, not a curse.

that said, enjoy your semi retirement

What exactly were the bots doing?

The best answer I can give you is to use the search for other threads, now closed, as discussion of bots and how they work is not allowed under forum rules.

Thank you for providing that link, Lynn.

As has been mentioned, discussion of bots is not permitted on the forum, so I'm going to close this thread now.

Thanks
