Player bot's point of view about botting

MrSonic · **Joined:** Jan 2008 **Posts:** 325 **Location:**

This guy(Canary)admitted that he was a bot, and started talking about it in clan chat, here's the converstation:

Botting, a "business"! Seriosuly these bots are becoming bigger and bigger cretins each day, but lesson learned, no more random guilds for me.
Looking for 100% legit guild on Mars!

P.S. Thanks to PR0METHEUS for the great "botting is like having someone else have sex with your girlfriend because you are too lazy to do it yourself" phrase.

Meh nothing new, I just have something to say about that "botting is like having someone else have sex with your girlfriend because you are too lazy to do it yourself" phrase. Thats a over the top analogy, to me thats like saying "If you step on a spider thats just like killing a baby" It's just too over the top

That line came from Chaby, ign Jewro.

Unfortunately, he got lazy and is currently letting someone else have sex with his GF now.

thats a terrible analogy.
they bot because they dont like handgrinding 10 hours a day.
You would want to have sex with your gf, becuase its pleasurable and u'd like it.
If you didnt, yes might as well let someone else f*ck her...but then why keep her as a gf in the first place.

and yeah, botting IS a business to some people. I've met people in game that bot 3 characters at a time just to strip them compeltely naked at 80 and sell them to people willing to pay USD for the through paypal, western union, etc.

If you're not willing to accept these facts the u're better off just leaving this game because as long as joymax does nothing about it, a person can get a couple hundred $$$ every 2 months or so just constantly botting up chars to 80 just to sell them.

Lol business? I see character on ebay goin' for almost $400. Three or more months of "work", subtract the price of the bot, item mall items, etc.. That's some business :roll:

Go to Venus.

And "business" lol. Does he really think a lvl 80 char is gonna be worth d*ck? When anyone can bot a char up to 80 for free in 1-2 months? Idiot...

LoL Was a funny analogy though... anyways that guy was annoying. I told ya Sonic, we should have just waited for our own guild... :banghead:

His ign is now Chabz but I think he failed +10ing his sword so he's going back to jewro... lol

Also yes it is a business for some people. For chars that they bot to 80 to sell they won't use item mall stuff they'll just plvl it. The price of a bot isn't gunna effect the final income of the person. Its a fact get over it.

What analogy is that!!!

having sex is pure estacy and pleasure...
if you feel the same when you are doing handgrinding I suggest it's time you get out the house and do something else :banghead:

I wouldn't liken botting to having someone else have sex with your girlfriend for you, I think a better analogy is that it's like taking performance enhancing drugs in professional sports. You wouldn't call taking steroids to get stronger to earn more money playing sports "bussiness". You'd call it cheating, ruining the game for everyone else. If he's so bold to call botting up characters "bussiness", tell him to register a business name with the government and get money back on his tax return for his "business expences" (ie. silk/bot). But no, he wouldn't do that... because he's just some punk kid pretending to be a bigshot at everyone else's expense.

I've always thought that analogy to be horrible yet people still regurgitate it verbatim. o.O

Botting and selling characters? =/ Seems like a waste. I mean, I'd understand if it was a last resort thing (quitting and selling your character because you urgently need money), but to actually put effort into first building a character and getting it to 80 just to sell it? (Botted or not, it's a waste in my opinion.)

i like the anology though...

who said u can't get lvl 20 in a day?

i made it lvl 20 in five hours when pacific came out a year ago..

well yea there is a lot of business around silkroad , like with gold but also with chars. So many ppl have their own business. Anyway the reason of botting for ppl that want play the game , is that they want be max lvl fast and go play the real game : triangular conflict , fortress etc.. they simply dont want loose time killing a stupid mob for ages 8 really annoyng in my opinion ....

mahumps · **Joined:** Feb 2007 **Posts:** 1715 **Location:**

idk in my opinion grinding 1-80 is only a way to practice the player and be ready for the real one after 80...

Necrobat · **Posted:** Sun Feb 03, 2008 9:16 am

The sad thing to realise is people never have any intention of playing their character at all.

As I think has been said (sorry, I skipped a few posts) that playing your character is half the fun, learning the way to use your skills to survive and adapting to a given situation. They don't gain this from botting unless you had played the same build previously.

And to be completely honest and to the point, it's most of these players who think certain things are cheap, because they don't have the experience in using it themselves. "If I didn't think of it, you can't" (a rough guess, based on many many individuals I have seen)

It is truely sad to see this is what Silkroad has descended into.

it takes money to get money.
if he cant afford a good pc, multiclient programs and time you cant make a business out of silkroad.
he simply want to justify his botting.

the reason why people bot is addiction. there are only a few guys who multiclient with the goal to sell those chars.

Well no I don't find pure extacy and pleasure out of hand grinding. However, I do find actually playing the game to be an enjoyable experience. It's not something I would want to let someone else (or a computer program) do for me.

that analogy, it's still all backwards. in effect it should be "botting is like having sex with your GF and making someone else take her to the movies" or whtever

hand grinding isn't always fun.

having sex is ALWASY fun.

no good analogy.

That sounds like something a botter, or bot supporter, would say.

When hand grinding isn't fun, do something else. Either PVP, job, explore, anything else you could do in-game, or play the new MMORPG called Real Life.

Sex might not always be fun. Depends on who your partner is, and what the situation is.

I still like the analogy.

I really don't take this game that seriously. It's a game. I often go afk while I'm grinding just to help my daughter put a puzzle together or get a toy off a shelf, and just let my character stand there getting attacked.

So what if he hang-grinded to 80? Would it be any different when he sold it?

this sounds like something that someone who has nothing better to do than go around making unwarranted accusations would say. its uncalled for. and yes that original analogy is backwards. grinding is the work (according to those who bot) an the pvp, job, FW, and alchemy is the fun (sex) part. so its backwards. just cause someone disagrees with you prom, doesnt mean they bot. and just cause people get mad at you for making accusations doesnt mean your being martyred for a cause either. just play the game an leave those who dont know how to play to their own devices.

LMAO

Comparing grinding with having sex. Hope no one will put this in his essay :roll:

Geez. Grinding can be fun, hence the sex part. Horizontal grinding if you will (whatever that means :roll:

). Let people have their own analogies about things, no matter if its a bit inacurate or corny according to you. It doesnt really matter.

What does matter is the unnecessary finger pointing going on, and it is all baseless, over a disagreement about who or what should be doing the grinding or shagging or the movies. Dont be silly.
