Silkroad Online Forums

its easier to get capped than reading every single word of that post. seriously what is this about? care to describe maybe in 2 lines?

Perhaps now you do since by the time you'll reach the cap the game might be gone, but if you played while the game was at its prime and while the caps were being released (ie you have time to cap and spend a while at said cap before it raises) then it was very possible.

I would know..I did it. I could still hit the newest cap if I bought exp tickets and reinstalled, but the game no longer appeals to me.

I made the TLDR version neon green...

Basically don't decide between legit and bot, just don't play.

Glad i'm in a active guild/Union with close friends... And friends don't let friends bot

Win

Wow really? Guild was right, a bunch of trolls on these forums.

Was just my opinion, even if it was generalized ideas...who cares if your sick of seeing "legit" post, Im sick of seeing bots....really did not need to create another post for this, did not have to be so immature.

Butt hurt?



Not very good at following your own ideals eh.


If you didn't want to see bots, you could always log off, choose another game, choose another version, etc.

Also,
There exists a forum in the interwebs without a population of trolls?!?!

Hangrinded to 80, basically had to play for at least 5 hours a day to grind off my 3 hours of gold time. Out of the like 10 gold times tickets I got, I probably only missed like 4-5 days of gold time. Yea it was pretty sad when I farmed sp for months and months(still needed like triple what I farmed lol) and reach cap at 70 and 80, I was still not on the same level as everyone else no matter what(was pure star glavie). Only times I could really compete was when I borrowed a friends sostar glavie at 70 or his sun at 80.

Ehh no I am not butt hurt, I just remember how anti bot this forum was a while ago, seemed to change, seemed people do not care *Note this topic on why someone shouldn't be legit*. So...what I get is mostly trolls, botters on this forum.

Nice

Whats funny is a year + ago...this forum would be if some one yelled bot, 5 others yelled legit, now its some one yells legit 5 others yell bot.

This forum went to shit.

Kinda sad really.

I'm sure once I post this I plan to get some giant explanation on how I might fail or some smart ass remark, or something that sounds very troll like, but, I now know its to be expected.

Legit FTW.

use your awesome life spending 2 years getting to 110 cap and spending thousands of $$$ on silk in the process. do your thang.

Handgrinding to 70 aint that bad...110 totally diff story

If you want legits and decent pvp, go to AION grind of eternity

I handgrinded a pure STR Blade to 65 at 70 cap, and a pure STR bow to 69, with NO SILK AT ALL. Done on Oasis, before the 80 cap.

After 80 cap opened, when I turned level 72, everyone was level 80 and full farmed already. Decided the game wasn't worth it anymore, as I couldn't - by my standards - spend a reasonable amount of time playing it, and still have some sort of satisfaction. I had lost the motivation I had to grind the other two characters as well.

I played a little bit after the euro expansion, but the game really wasn't for me anymore. Also capped on SWSRO in two months, when I had some free time, but it wasn't really that much fun.

@Goseki:
I read the whole post, by the way. It was a good read.

I don't know. I can see where some people in this thread are coming from, but I can't judge anyone in any way. Except for the botters; they can and should be judged.

Well as i said answers can only be one sided, and most people here think botting is a crime or something lol, everyone can play the way they want, whoever thinks it's better to bot what's the big problem, anyone can bot anytime, no reason to be mad, if i choose to be legit and get mad because other people are botting, i should just go play another game... I play this game for about 4 years, and i know the leveling speed is ridiculous at gap 0, and sometimes you have to gap 9 just to get some sp, and get EVEN less xp
As i said, if you choose to bot you will miss alot about the game and the fun, and if you choose to be legit you should be happy playing, otherwise it's just a waste of time

I Quit... Found a buddy who wants to play with my char. I'll play again when there's another update. Until then, i'll prob be on Steam (aka RumRunner).

But... your still gonna hang around here?


...Right?

Yea, I just won't be on SRO much anymore. The big english-speaking union on ALPS broke up last week, as a result, we lost both hotan and jangan fort. Now all 3 forts belong to a group of racist egyptians and random turks. I plan on waiting until my friend tells me a decent union pops up again.

Can i have ur stuff?

this is some demoralizing stuff

The problem is the exp/sp rates in this game do not scale correctly. Most games take maybe a couple months to get to max level (if there is one) with relatively easy gameplay if you know what you are doing and how to do it.

At 60 and 70 cap there really wasn't many people who used a bot because it was manageable as a legit. Now it seems to be impossible to get cap because when/if you ever did you don't feel accomplished because it took SO LONG.

I never plan on reaching cap and I'm happy right now at level 49 when the friend I made who does use a bot is now level 82... we were both level 21 at crabs. However I am still having fun joining parties occasionally or just owning stuff with my SoSun +6 level 42 staff. I'm hoping to at least make it to 64 so I can use the SoSun staff from FW.

And yet, people bot the heck out of their chars at private servers as ZSZC. Even though their server have 30x normal rates in both exp and sp. Personally I believe that a lot of people have gotten so used to bot on isro that they take that with them to the private servers. In other words, people have become lazy. So yeah, what I'm trying to say is, that it won't help much even if Joymax would double or quadruple the rates, as it's more about the mentality of the players, than the rates.

+1, i seriously believe that it is more the mentality than the actual rates.!

agreed tho a little fixing up of the rates as well as the quest rewards would help a bit. Especially if they would help relax sp farming needs of the players(especially chinese chars that are practically forced to solo). As for having a large cap and making it hard to reach is not so odd. If anything it makes the game more interesting. The only reason so many ppl are at cap is simply bcoz they bot....ah nvm all these points have been said b4 time and again and to no point in particular.

Play it for fun, if you rush so bad for the cap you aren't enjoying it, it is addiction for me then.

besides the people on this forum that "claim" to be legit, ive never met one person that is, and if they were they quit a looong time ago. not only does it sound IMPOSSIBLE to be 110 and legit, it sounds sad. that kid with the 86 and legit sounded reasonable cuz he had prem and a euro party and he also said he didnt finish those 3 hours but 110 and legit? are you kidding me? thats like telling me you walked on top of water, its so unbelieveable that unless i see it IN PERSON, in a lake of my choice then u cant possibly expect me to believe it. unless u have a video of you grinding every single day from 99 to 110, like a video showing YOU sitting at your computer grinding that much then ur lying, and you know for a fact you're lying. and if you DO have a video showing that, then you need to go outside breathe some fresh air and jog, cuz you are missing out on life. and thats the saddest part of it. you wont get any kudos from me, i wept when i read ur post.


edit: i saw something before about sp rates and exp rates, if they gave atleast x3 rates and they gave people quests every couple of lvls that let u gain sp like the ones at 105 trust me this game would be such a huge success.

LOL I dont have a camera to film myself EVERY day but i can assure you, Im about 2% from 90 atm and none of us have any intention of stopping. Im about to purchase my 3rd ticket (FML and FJM cause no more regular tickets) and Im pretty sure I can get to cap with it. We still get a level a day even though its getting tougher. Our server doesnt have a lot of people at our level yet and getting "the good spots" is pretty easy. I will never be able to use all 5 hours of a prem ticket because I dont have that kind of time. Im lucky if I can get 3 grinded out! I can tell you from experience, its not that hard to level if you have a good regular party.

I have no proof of what I am about to taddle-tale to you gais, but I feel it must be derp'ed upon now.

(The pics that were saved on my isro folder were deleted when i got the latest legend [but i quit sro lol, i only played again cuz i was given a lvl 102 nuker])

I played with goseki on alps during the 100 cap as Merlin_copy [a friend's char]


He's the biggest hypocrit on sro, he bots his ass off, but he's really good at hiding it, not like the other dumbasses that got banned cuz of "no yellow boxes" .

Is only for your information, no flame wars .

I only posted this cuz this is a stupid thread lol.

Goseki? And if he does bot. I couldn't care less. He's still awesome

You think most of us don't know that ? just don't have a way to prove it, When someone defends and glorifies botting that much i don't think anybody would expect him to be legit.
