Silkroad Online Forums

And what made you quit?

Also, I mentioned powerleveling because the whole powerleveling system feels like an exploit. Doesn't it? Unless part of this game is supposed to be allowing high levels to get their friends to their levels in short periods of times, but I doubt that was part of the game design.

people that make threads like this tend to admit to botting soon after and leave/get banned thinking that they have made some bold statement. i look forward to seeing where this goes.

yet we saw CSRO players hit 90 in 3 days with 3x rates.

no accusation homie. just a general observance. take what i say at whatever value you feel though.

As we all know, by now, bots, botters and Silkroad (at least iSRO) go hand to hand, with the numbers of legits seemingly decreasing constantly (unless I'm wrong with that assumption?).

1) What are your specific stances on botting currently? I'm not talking about gold bots, of course.

2) What makes you continue playing legit, and playing Silkroad at all, despite this huge issue?

3) Do you think botting will ever disappear or almost entirely disappear, or do you think it's far too late and is too deeply rooted in iSRO to ever disappear? Do you have any proposal as to how to reduce it?

1 - I really don't like the programs, and it annoys me that people resort to botting, but when it comes down to it, it's JM's fault for continuing to allow it. Are they even banning bots anymore?

2 - easy, been repeated many times: hanging out with friends, doing things in-game, grinding, partying, a sense of accomplishment, all the new quests

3 - it'd be nice, but it seems like someone else stated - the SP required is too high, if you could level WITH other legits and keep a 9 gap that would be great, too bad it's only doable about 20% of the time.

4 - I don't, no. To be sure, power partying is much better and preferred. I mean, if you're just going to sit on a horse and never learn how to play, what's the point of the game? Too much of anything is bad.

Your last suggestion would benefit people like me that hardly ever PvP, I'd have a bow on the PVP server and stick with the Euro on the other server ^_^
4) Would you consider power leveling a low level character to a high level is comparable to botting (if the high level who power leveled the low level did not bot) ?


A few more questions to top level legits (90 - 110 or so, or top levels in previous caps.):
First of all, I salute you because it is indeed an achievement (I guess it's lesser compared to world peace or curing cancer, but it's still something, maybe right there below those two ).

How long did it take you to get to that level? What are your thoughts on being surrounded by top levels who botted the entire way to the cap? Do you feel you are at a disadvantage against them, or the opposite?



And lastly, I wanted to mention of this relatively simple solution I thought of (which was probably thought of by many before me). Do you think creating PvP servers where one can get to choose a maxed character and PvP against the rest will eliminate or reduce botting, while still leaving normal servers for legit players?
Maybe it could be done with some combination of purchasing silk for various things, or simply for the regular enhancing items, so that Joymax won't feel they're losing money from silk buying botters.
I know I'd still want to play on a normal server, for the fun parties, sense of achievement, unique hunting, just balanced (in terms of gold\exp) playing, and all these things you're probably familiar with.

But you don't know anything about me, and saying a statement like that does look as a sort of an accusation, or simply ridiculous. I recently made a new character, and grinded on it in the past few days constantly, getting to almost 30.

It's a pointless observation, I'm not connected to the people who previously made threads like this.

you asked the opinion on bots. i stated my opinion. deal with it if you dont like it.
