Silkroad Online Forums

So old.

its hard to join Azteca when i heard ppls saying "we re waiting gw2" or when the others are quitting one by one.
Also to be a low lvl isnt funny at all, cause joymax making event only for rich high lvls. Sorry for complain,i know that everybody know that,anyway i think try to join Azteca and see what happen, but watch the symbolic guild avalon down to 8 ppls, that really sad and demoralizing.

So relevant.

Who cares? She doesn't even play anymore on Azteca. But we should be grateful, that she and Fly helped at the start of the legit community on Azteca. If they wouldn't have done that, there would be a lot less or probably no legits at all on Azteca.

And it doesn't matter at all, that Avalon is mainly inactive now. There are still a lot of people, who are trying to keep the community running. In fact, you wouldn't even notice, if Avalon is still there or not, since most of them are lv.80+ anyway.

Hardly.

A legit movement and general thoughts on this thread.

-mod edit- Don't post shit (I'm so clever)

now THIS is relevent

lol...helps you out alot leveling when you do so.

we dont allow people buying gold and we dont allow people getting taxi'd by bots...
besides gold is so easy to make on silkroad really... so, seems like a waste

If there are legit guilds/unions still left, then I will continue to play.

Any is free to drop me a PM to party up with me and BrushFire

Legit union is fine and well just a little revamp is all. Someone will contact you in game about joining BHA union.

avalon arent active anymore and probably wont be. so the surviving guilds from that union have broke away and are beginning a new union using guilds to represent the "waves" of new people joining. not like a level range but more of... who you play with.

so i recommend pming Talon, PokeMyPickle or Peachy

listen the statement that 90% of SRF might bot is complete bs. 99% of SRF bots. and the sad part about it is the people that dont bot make it seem like they are high and mighty for not doing it. i mean when u think about it its like that few % of people that actually never sin ever. FEW. but there is supposed to be something waiting for them right? so them restricting themselves is actually better off for them in their eyes. in sro there is no benefit to not botting, and the fact that joymax basically promotes the sht is even worse. if u really want to get technical its actually better for your health for you to not be legit. im telling u the people that even made this forum prolly bot on the DL. i love the forum but its full of hypocrites and it makes you wonder why even bother to put on a show? it keeps the scrubs asking for bots all the time out but other than that.. even if you dont bot buying gold isnt legit, you basically support botting everytime u punch ur credit card info on those sites. if the companies didnt bot you wouldnt be able to buy gold in such large amounts at such a low price. so in a way even if you dont bot, you support botting! and thats the hypocracy of it. everyone claims to be legit then posts a picture of a 110 FF full egypt set char. if u didnt bot, u supported that shit, infact you're campaigning for it everytime you post those screenshots. look at me america!

i think that instead of saying ffs ur tired of seeing blanket statements which are probably true, you should call people out on being such damn hypocrites.

edit: if ur legit and lvl 40 and having fun with ur friends, more power to u! but if ur above lvl 90 FF, please do me a favor..




well you my friend are a bot supporter.



gold is easy when you are lvl 101+, before that gold is nearly impossible to make. impossible to buy sox and def impossible to support yourself with even pots. make a vid of u with 100k and supporting your char up and making gold and i will applaud you.

nobody supports getting taxi'd yet we have guides for ong farming (which is codename for bot farming).

im tellin u the hypocrisy is everywhere.. penfold u are prolly one of the most legit ive seen, u go hard all the time but even you somewhere must have fell thru the cracks

.... the people on these forums that dont bot and dont buy gold ARE higher and more mighty then anyone that does.
no were not hippocrits... were fking legit and unless u come over to azteca to see it, stfu.
on this forum alone there are maybe.... 10 people on azteca that are 80+ and about 3 that are 90+... on azteca alone. these are people that have NEVER BEEN POWER LEVELED BY A BOT. NEVER BROUGHT GOLD. NEVER BOTTED. NEVER USED MULTICLIENTS. NEVER USED A LOADER.... these guys are more high and mighty then anyone that has used these to level.

edit: if ur legit and lvl 40 and having fun with ur friends, more power to u! but if ur above lvl 90 FF, please do me a favor..

there is a person in my guild... he is level 57 if i remember right? and he has over 500mil..... learn to play and you will know how this isnt that difficult.



ive been ong farmed. by a legit... does that mean i got bot farmed?
and for your information.... i have never ever botted/multicliented/brought gold/power farmed from a bot/ power leveled from a bot (not that i know of anyway)

the only possible "slip through the crack" was pk2 editing... and i never did a single pk2 edit that gave me an advantage. me with a few other people back when ksro had euro found out that it was possible to pk2 edit invisible and thats when most of us stopped pk2 editing at the rate we used to.

unless u have proof that im not legit.. you can stop calling me a hippocrite.

pen your sexy , now that makes you unlegit

Example of a legit who is lvl 97... and only has 11 posts on srf... its rare and it does happen.

lmao @ penfold, i complimented u and said you are prolly the most legit ive seen and u went hard on me like i was talking about your mother. do me a favor.. relax, alright?

im not gonna press tab and go beserk on u and call you fat, and you dont get _____ , or you dont do anything with your life or stuff like that cuz thats just not me

your cool pen i love you

Ofcourse Penfold is legit, hes 4x forever.

lol pocketninja is trying to troll people.. i know, no1 noticed.. why? cuz hes a douche with 16 posts and only comes here to agiatate people.. go back to where ever you came from. pen ur doing a good job.. i loved playing on azteca but elitesro got the best of me^^

im 5x.. almost 6x... =)

Juelz i dont have a life.... but thats nothing new

So hypocrit.

lol? i cant believe u said that i hope to god ur joking

i... i am not ill pm u something to prove it xD

that was impressive though lol

i bet there are ''allot '' legits out there that never went on this forum
and yes i enjoy the game how it is now , i don't rly want changes
i don't want bots to quit (no fun at fw !?)
and i apsolutly(or however its spelled)don't want this legit community to die ,
right now we are just in some ''uni drama problems.
and yes idd , penfold is still 5x

I agree with a lot of what you said...actually an srf mod I knew was a HUGE botter...and he even told me about this forum! (that was four years back...hes not a Mod anymore but yeah)we were in a guild that botted (Yes I tried to bot back then...a wizard but I was a noob at that even) and partied and it was really fun. Later on though once I read more of the guides and stuff here about how to play etc. . .I didn't feel the need to bot anymore lol, and had a lot of fun actually playing the game (thanks to guardias awesome barding guide)

I do feel that if people didnt bot the game would be better but only slightly, in reality Joymax set up this rediculous korean life drain grinder to suck away your money and time (botting actually takes a lot more time and energy, and resources than actually grinding...im dead serious)the game itself would be great if either the lvl cap was lower WITH all the new content, and maybe charge a monthly fee, or just higher exp rates (the new private server with 15x rates currently)

thing is though if they made it p2p then Joymax would really have to ge ttheir shit together and actually make CONTENT...

MORE LEVELS=/=CONTENT

but 99.99999% of Asian mmo grinders (yes Im looking at you too Aion with your p2p craptacular grindfest) arent looking to provide actually content, but just a time/money sink... as in you spend all your time and money on them, and they dont return the favor and provide the service of providing a great, ever changing and evolving gaming experience.

This is not just a silkroad problem, its a pandemic that is across the whole Genre, with only a few execptions(guild wars 1...possibly Rift) or future hopes (guild wars 2 and terra)

Really the ones who support botters the most are the people like you said, who pay AND play these kinds of games that arent really worth the time and the trouble.

now the whole high and mighty thing...yeah that is uneccesarry, just becuase someone does something that you dont like does not make it ok to push against them. not for their sake...but for YOUR sake, as whenever you push against something, you apply EQUAL PRESSURE ON YOURSELF thats important and you need to read it over and over again (you as in the reader not just jules)

I mean really where has the war on bots gotten us? is SRO clean? no. is it still deathly hard to find a decent party on most servers that dont bot and know how to play the game? yes.

Has being agaisnt bots or being high and mighty bought SRO to the game wed all like to play? free of bots and full of people who know how to play? No.

How long has this *war* been going on?
maybe 6-7 years?

seeing as there are really know results or very paltry results (as in Wemade the company who bought sro tried to make a change) are in no way a result of the *anti bot movement*

so seeing as pushing AGAINST bots hasnt worked for all these years, what would be a solution?

Promoting being legit.

its not what you think...you all THINK you are promoting being legit but you are pushing against bots...which just makes the problem worse (go back to the italicized sentence for more clarification)

promoting being legit...or really promiting anything is only accomplished by leading by the clarity of your example. meaning, if guild a decides to be legit, then they become legit...they dont make rules *Not* do anything!

- they just set up certain times of the day/week to play together in parties/pvp/trade and make the most use of their time.

they make videos of how awesome their party guild is.

They focus on CONVERTING people who COME TO THEM from using bots to playing legit. once people recognize the benefits of playing legitly then there will be no need for rules of any kind, the guild.union will just be, no drama, just fun playing together and enjoying the game, getting better working as a team and playing their character individually.

Joymax is a huge obstacle in their design of the game but it only take 20-25 people who are chill, relaxed and keep away from *motivating* people then something like that could really change the face of a server, and the whole game...

Imagine the Old Avalon without all the drama, just ease and fun. They never would have lost the fort after 5, 6 , 7-10 years, they would have brought more and more people to their side...as you attract bees with honey not wine

MOTIVATION.

Motivation is something you do co-erce someone or something (or yourself) to do stuff the way you want...this is bad.

example: "I must get motivated to do my homework or else Ill get a bad grade and be punished by parents/society/peers/ the teacher/darth vader etc..."


INSPIRATION. is something were people actually WANT to do whatever it is your doing. or any other thing.

example: "Wow this class is fun! Id like to learn more about this subject, wow, there more cool stuff in this boo!? cool im gonna read some more, and maybe write some cool things that come to mind!"

Focus on the inspiration aspect, and things will be better in all aspects of life.

Oh, crap, that's quite true! lulz


But motivation it's still important! Well, motivation is something that pushes you toward your goal. Right? Well, when you're not motivated, you find even the simplest tasks to be difficult, boring and you try to find as many excuses as possible.. xD

Lol, making gold is so easy, if you know how to play. I currently have several 9D SOX parts (1 light armor part is even sun) and i still have around 200M gold left. After selling all my current stuff i'd probably easily have around 500-600M or even more.


Oh, and @Bananaman:

While i actually agree, that it's better to show people, how enjoyable it is to play as a legit, it's simply impossible to lead a guild with that attitude. There will always be people, who just can't understand your point and they would start botting in your "legit guild" and they wouldn't stop botting either. You can't just ignore them and say "oh well, there are no rules, so let them be. Just show them how much fun it is to be legit". These people would never see the point of playing legit, because they just don't want to see it and you can't change that either. A legit community will always need certain strict rules as a basis for their decisions, but you can keep these rules at the necessary minimum, which would mean:

1. No botting
2. No gold buying
3. No pts with people, who currently bot (that includes no plevel by anyone outside of the union, as you can't be sure, that they don't bot; you can still play in pts with non-union people, if they don't bot while being in pt)

That's exactly what we currently do on Azteca. Take away one of the rules mentioned and you wouldn't be legit anymore.

Motivation is a reason or drive to do something. You must be thinking MANIPULATION which would be coercing someone into doing something. And for the record it isn't the grindfest everyone makes it out to be if you are in good parties and hanging with friends. Level 88 with 200k+ sp doing a progressive gap and thats in right around 4 months, plus we put the brakes on for the last month and had a union shuffle to deal with.

idk what 600M gets u on azteca but im my server ull be lucky to buy elixers lol
