There's probably your best solution. It just needs to be implemented correctly to allow for colleges and workplaces but it's doable.

They have 6 guilds FULL of bots. They number them. 11400, 11401, 11402 etc, and they number the guilds mem01, mem03, mem04 boss02, etc.. To hide their activity they're now renaming their characters with random American names. Cleo, Lorene, Betty, etc.. They don't upgrade their gear or anything, under 30k power, just sit around and bid on CW. at 40+ enter CW (at under 30k power). After they amass 200mil coins they send out those emails, and send 1 by 1 in Heroic Realm to attack their purchaser.

I discovered this by accident when I jumped into Heroic Realm Abomination, and was attacked by one. I revenged it and got 9.5 million coins and was like WTF!!!! Then I remembered the advertising emails and numbered guilds. Worst part is, the more clients they have, the more they multiply ...... like a virus.
And this is where the Tynon devs need to sit up and take notice. Evony's issues was ignored for years and only now is something being about it. If you want to see alt farms, Evony is king....

My only concern is removing the revenge coins and credits is a bit extreme. If someone attacks me in the wild, I'd want the opportunity to win back some of my losses. PvP is relatively limited in this game and although it's not a major source of income for many it does add a certain amount of fun into the game.

I'm always wary of anyone offering solutions such as these since I've seen many of the said solutions cause more grief then they actually intend to. People will cheat and they will always find another way to do so if an avenue is closed to them. If alts are a problem the only real solution is remove them, IP banning is one of the more effective suggestions.
