I rather call this bullshit.
Joymax does ban isrobot users i know a lot of them who got banned but the hard part with bot cards they just create a new char and bot again easy as that, buying silk has nothing to do with isrobot users not being so called banned.
Anything that is payed for is hard to ban ... why cause when you find out how to detect them ..the bot creators just make the bot better (we are talking about money here)
goldfarm bots are easy to ban just because most of them have been reported tons of times by loads of people. they grind very long on 1 spot ...makes them easy to ban when a gm checks the bot reported locations.
isrobot users tend to babysit during silkroad daytime and bot at night. most who got banned are the non babysitters. the only way Joymax really could decrease isrobot users is by accepting solid proof like vids and screenshot (for example

The problem is not only for us the players but also for Joymax, the more bots the less silk easy as that.
They just overwhelmed themselves by not having a big crew to handle this, and they seem to be hard learners and wont accept changes in their department .
