Silkroad Online Forums

I actually agree. The "bot culture" or community that is always thrown around as so fantastic is the same one that brought us.. botting, hacks, cheats, scams, social hacking, exploits, gold buying, multiclienting etc... remember the portal exploit? It isnt really something that your average legit, community fostering individual goes for.

We want to be the best, but we want to be the best on nothing but the merits of our own ability. There is a measure of pride to it, like the difference to building a classic car from the ground up or just buying one.

The things you can do at level 1 and the things you can do at level 80.

Being level 1 isn't as fun as being level 80 fully farmed.

1]You can job fine at low levels it just takes timing.
No you cant ... atleast on older servers ... there is always always someone turkish that will come and KS you. If you do 2* ++ you will get killed .. If you do 1* ... that is boring (tell me it isnt)?? Trade Runs are boring and non profitable if they arent 5* ... I dont think that anyone can do 5* without being high level


2]There is a reason there are other people your level in cape fights, the only reason you would suck would because there are botters who botted to level 80 so essentially you're saying bot because everyone else does.
Even if there are people of my level at cape fights, there is always someone who is few levels above us ... and wants to "test his damage" (They cant win in life , so they try to win and use their anger on something they can, in a video game) ... Wizard AoE kills us , Lightning Nuke kills us, some random noobs kills us ... Turks , who you cant ask them to stop because they dont know english... And at cape fights , there are always safe zone , and guys calling you names , hiding in safe zone ... I can see rarely low levels in front of Samarkand / DW (Jangan and Const. are empty)

3]Guild wars would be fine if there were no botters in existence.
But there are botters , they are always here and will never leave ... I dont care if GW would be fine if there arent botters... They are always here , its screwed already!
People just dont play Guild Wars at low level ... community of SRO is just too bad , you cant arrange anything --> Running in safe zones , buffs / res from other Clerics out of guild , interfering of the other guys who shouldnt play in Guild War. And yeah someone 20 levels above all the others , could eat them all.

4]You are of use to every one of the same level, you are of use to your party, guild, and union at all levels. There is a use for everyone but this use will never be seen in an environment where cheaters dominate
But there isnt anyone your level ... people are just getting powerleveled to cap.
Example :
Union Chat : We are doing 5* tonight , who wanna come.
Random Guy : I want
Union Chat : Whats your level
Random Guy : 52
Union Chat : *no response*
You said it yourself "There is a use for everyone but this use will never be seen in an environment where cheaters dominate" ... Silkroad is dominated by Cheaters ... so not everyone is useful , in our case , low levels.

5]You lose respect, because if you need to cheat just to gain respect then you're pathetic.
I never said you lose it , you just gain it... I seriously think that you will get help faster if you're higher level than low ... Dont say it isnt like that! Because it is, You , I , or someone might help lowbie first, than someone higher , but most of SRO wouldnt...

6]What power? You're one cheater in a sea of thousands, you have no more power than jimbo the botter. Any guild of Europeans near your level will rock your world, you have no chance. If botters want respect they should earn it and afaik a cheater hasn't earned jackshit.
Well most of the game are turks ... If I , low level start arguing against someone lv.80 , no matter what we are arguing about , what do you think , on who's side will most of people stand?

64+? How about at 60 cap? there was no 64 plus, how about before botting? Just breaking down your arguments shows the state of the game, without botters you wouldn't need to be a high level to compete because people would averagly settle around 60 and every now and then you would have that person that takes it a step further and aims for 80. Remove the cheaters and there would be no problems for lower levels. You say botters are not a problem but you're all wrong. Cheating is a problem.
In what world do you live in? Remove the cheaters? If we could , you think we wouldnt?? FFS the game is like this , deal with it , infected by botters , scammers, cheaters! So you basicly said that the game without cheaters would make low levels cool again... but the Silkroad is not that game -- meaning --> With low level you cant do anything ... !! Dude we are in 80 cap ... 60 cap was perfect, 70 cap was good ... 80 cap isnt! 80 cap is ruled by botters. We are talking about present , not what was happening ... The game was good before , but not now... Botters control the game , they made it like it is now...You think I wouldnt like that Silkroad is botfree?


Dude you are trying to win against me in something you cant win ... Tell me that you can enjoy the game more at level 20 , surrounded by 64++ , than at lv.80?


Silkroad is just fail... You have hard time loging in, community is bad, there are shitloads of turks with who you cant arrange anything , there are alot of botters , there arent alot of helpful people , there are alot of beggers, the game lags , its all about grinding in lower levels... Name me the game in which you will see someone dead spamming resssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss? Name me the game in which you will see global chats with alot of racism , insulting families and other unhuman stuff? Name me the game in which you have hard time loging in and with 90% of people that you PM , they arent responding... Name me the game in which you will walk into first area and see noone there?

Its just Sad ...

Nitro... all my arguments are from an idealist point of view. I never argue from the majority view because the majority view is shit.

The Majority thinks the best is at cap
The Majority thinks you can't pvp without cap

The Majority are a bunch of selfish pricks and thats why I'm on SRF and play on Venus because we're not the majority. We're Legit and we know how things could be if sro went on the right side of the tracks. Sadly, Joymax + Selfish Majority = Shit Fest.

@ nitro


i agree with you nitro 100%
its like saying would you like to Farm and grind your ass of to lvl 80. or have a program do it for you when your somewhere else like school or shopping.

at lvl 64+ is where the fun really begins becasue thats when your actaully usefull in fortress and jobwar.

i never boted but i got plvled

<grabs to signature>

i like how you stereotype botters as scammers, gold buyers, gold bot owners, ccf'ers, these are untrue.


most botters just dont want to put effort into grinding, and its as simple as that.

player botters are real people, just like legits and can act just as nicely in guild, help with jobbing and help lower level level, they might be afk half of the time, but they dont act like proud keyboard warriors cause they took over fortress war this week, like most 12yr old "legits" on this forum bragging about their e-accomplishments.
*cough*wow avalon you guys must be so proud on taking over fortress this week*cough*

not true. im pretty sure that if someone acheived lvl 80 or even lvl 60 they would feel better and have more fun if they went there by themselves instead of botting.

plus botting just plain outright ruins the game for everyone. im not gonna go in to detail how they ruin the game but i forgot which mod had a whole topic on why botting ruins the game for everyone.

why would we need to take over it if we already have it so sdfu noob and gtfo

there we go
mr.keyboard warrior expressing his feeling of e-pride for his guilds e-ccomplisments

What a load of crap. You tell it if you think every botter does the above mentioned things.


The only reason that I might start to bot with my main char is:
The complete incapability of JM to run a game:
- no customer support
- no active ingame management (GM)
- gold buyers/sellers
- gold bots
- itemmall (premium would not be needed if there were no gold bots
- etc
- etc
Just call it a protest against JM, abuse the system to the max. Without hurting/scamming others.

Oh and for faster leveling, more drops, gold, sp, higher electrical bill due to 24/7 leaving the computer on. And also important the ultra slow leveling from lvl 70+. PvP/jobbing starts at max lvl, before that your just a noob.

That might be true, but think of this. This is using your analogy.


Start of a music company, we'll call it Amped
Amped sells a few CDs, becomes popular
Amped hires scouts to find more musicians + advertises them
Amped sells even more CDs
Everyone is happy, they pay $15 for the CD, but its a quality cd, Amped is happy, so are the people
Birth of LimeWire, people start stealing money from Amped
Everything seems good at first, the people stealing the music are getting it for free, why not if no one is stopping them?
Amped starts to lose money, they cant pay to scout new musicians + advertise them
Less and less music is created, for Amped is losing money quickly
Amped goes bankrupt, no more new music is created, except shitty garage music
Now, instead of paying $15 for some good music, you pay nothing for some shit, everyone is pissed.

I never said that I think all botters do the above things I said when the above things do happen that it's more often than not a botter that does them then a non botter (I'm fully aware that there are those who bot that the only illegal thing they do is bot) for the reason I said before.



While I agree joymax's lack of management is ruining the game however I don't see how contributing to the problem is really going to help, especially with Joymax's lack of involvement in the situation they won't notice your form of protest. All you'll end up doing is contributing to the problem that plagues this game.

@ Original Q: It doesn't make any sense does it? They bot to cap cause they "supposively" have a life. So what if I played a year and got to only 68, atleast I know where to buy job items and what pvp stands for -.- If you have a life you want to continue, then just don't play 18 hours a ****ing day. If you want to play a game that you can cap easy, go play a Console game

good point...bots FTL.....but when you first heard of sro...did you say
1."seems like fun" or
2."I wanna be the best"

not everyone plays games to be the best/strongest....some ppl play for fun

imo....BOTS=NUBS=GTFO
nubs should be ashamed coz they're nubs
bots should just go screw each other and not fck up the game for others

IMO i think the only way to stop botter is to stop them to wanna become lvl80 ASAP WHY!!

Becoz this game u can attack any 1 high or low lvl,ppl get kill by high lvl while jobing, so to escap this sh*t they wanna get high lvl asap the only way is bot.
But if the system not allowed player to attack another player that have 9lvl lower or higher than his lvl than who want to get to lvl80 while they can do a easy 5* and don't need to worry that Thief lvl80 with full sun are waiting
And they can make more trip and earn more gold so no 1 will buy gold and gold bots will slowly leave
Then SRO will get back to where is belong

I never bot and i don't blame ppl who bots [Nitro said everything i wanna say and i 100% agree with him]

PS when i was lvl60+ i do 5* run with 3 of my friends and that was my 1st job and the last we all die 500mtr away from DW 5 thief all lvl80 attack us and the war last 30sec godbless SRO

*sigh* not this shit again...i'm tired of seeing all these bot topics alrdy, didn't srf use to have a rule bout posting stuff about botting....

relevling is the word mind that



+1

One thing tho ... Someone mentioned that Bots are Noobs ... that is 100% incorrect ....
I mean ... when you start to play the game; you check the controls; you read some help; you browse some forums; you grind a bit; you talk a bit

So you learned basic of the game ... Now all that is left is grinding to higher level (and some "harder" stuff to learn - There isnt alot of these "harder staff" in Silkroad - the game is simple) ... Okay now what I wrote above is what every new player does - pretty much everything in Silkroad... so grind grind grind ... and you get bored ... and this is the point when you get bot.

I read once , comment in video (by uploader) ... he wrote:
"I'm legit and I know how to play that game , I dont play like those noob botters , who rely on crits to win" --
I wish I could slap that guy who wrote that -- (I hope I dont need to explain why , coz you are smart enough to know why.)

So you cant call some botter a noob (except if he is like 10years old - and with lack of inteligence)... The game is so simple , there isnt Pro in game ,there isnt Noob in game...

So stop calling them noobs coz they are , by knowledge, like us...
Its not hard to hop on Vent and chain 4 Blesses so you can have them unlimited time... Even my younger brother is capable to do that.
Game is too simple. Your success is determent by - Your level , Your equipment , How much time you invest in grinding and are you surrounded by people , with who you are capable to arrange something and their builds.

agree, game is simple, there is no need to be a profesional to understand it or play it, but i DO call botters the biggest noobs in game, since they cant even handle the basic things. "omgz0rs i cant grind legit, i'll b0t! muahha" <---noob, "shizzle i'll have a full sun set when my bot is done farming, i'll buy goldz"<---noob -.

Achieving the "top" of this game by ilegal ways, definitely a no no. If a botter cant grind or play this game, then quit it, whats the point of being afk when you dont even enjoy the fun of grinding in a party (it's not always fun, but at least you work on it). If they dont care that much about the game then dont bot, and let them play once a week with their lvl 28 chars, but since they do in a way; they bot <-- noobs.



IMO that's wong. The success in SRO to me was to never bot in a server where 97% of people bots. I quit playing my lvl 69 chinese char, cuz everytime i went grinding, i kept gettin ksed by tons of bots, it was a waste of money, i felt bad but i stopped playing it, botting to be like them? fhck no! After euro patch, i made my cleric and i love it, i grinded it and capped it, it felt fine it was my personal achievement to play legit and fight against the botters, it's my personal war in a botter server, but i dont care i'll fight it by myself, and i'll stay strong cuz i've made what others in the servers have not been able to do cuz they suck at it and hence they use other methods.

You know me from babel, i got my reputation of being legit and a nice player to play with. Never scammed, never did something wrong. And seeing people pointing me that (even botters), saying "you're a fair player, we respect that"(even tho i dont care coming from them),that's my achievement in game.

Amelie , yeah you are a fair and nice player to play with ...
You misunderstood what I meant by "Noob" and "Success" ...
I dont even need to say anything about "Noob" ... but about Success I meant ... Look at Avalon .. you know why they are so good? They are well organized and have a nice pair of euro guys.
Organized is the Key word ... You cant get that on Babel ... IMO ... especially with all those turks ... I dont know how it is on other servers ... but there arent much people on Babel with who you can arrange anything (party grinding example , it was nice with you at generals , but its kinda hard now when I have to go with Divine (Lv.64 ^^) to Niya Guards with a bunch of turks grinding there 0/24 )

* I mean ... look at this:


(Btw ... I'm going to Greece in a year or two ^^, you live there right hun?)

how did you manage to log in? lol i envy you, my premium time is off, wont bother to get in lol

i'm on msn!

look botters play when they at lvl 80. instead of botting why not play and slowly reach lvl 80 its way more fun for everybody.if u say u bot because other stronger lvlers kill u then ur not helping cuz u just bot and then do the same thing that higher ups did to u. why not get their by using the time u would if u played at lvl 80. botting helps only u but it ruins the fun of others. woud u consider this fair?: u climb up a steep mountain but another person used a helicopter to get up there but still got the same reward as u but only sooner. same principal with bots.

anyway isnt there a rule on srf "no bot supporters" or something like that?

People are selfish and greedy ...
Noone here is supporting bots ... we are just giving the facts out so SRF wouldnt live in false life...

Yes there is. And it's prohibited.

seems like they supporting to me. yep they supporting to me

Another post about the bots:
first: bots NEVER banned because without bots iSRO closed
second: the problem of iSRO it is called GOLD SELLERS COMPANY / BOTS GOLD FARMERS
The best chars in this shit game are those who can buy gold and not players using bots.
ALL THE SUN'S CHARS BUY GOLD. The REALLY PROBLEM OF iSRO it is called BOT GOLD FARMER and ALL here know why GM's dont ban.

w/e.... where did anyone supported bot , quote me that ...


No sh1t Sherlock? *Note: Learn better english*

a topic of this kind is dumb to make on srf it will be turning into a flame fest no matter what .

(see for uself)


this one is the best




wow u sure know how to please ppl as a mod dont u

gg srf
