Silkroad Online Forums

So, as we all know alot of SoX have been dropping since Legend III. Well to upgrade these new items, you need alot of gold, that's where the gold buyers come in. So Joymax, drops alot of SoX items, so gold buyers will buy alot of gold, there for Joymax makes alot of profit.

Buying gold makes joymax profit????

More like people buy astral imortal etc buying silk making joymax profit

Well there's a conspiracy, that many believe Joymax works with the gold companys.

I'd rather believe that since more people are buying gold, theres more gold bots, which crowds the server causing more people to buy premium.

I don't think the SoX drop rate is particularly high. There is only 2 9D Sun weapons on my server afaik.

sounds like bullshit to me

could be a bit of both, maybe JoyMax has one of there hands in the GoldSelling industry too. they bride JM to not ban there gold bots. meh or they just like premium money, either way there stinking rich.

erg

My dropping soz weapons it gives something for people to grind for. A bit of hope to be stronger than the rest. By allowing people to buy gold it keeps them active and buying silk, thus what joymax as a company wants.

Simply put, the community created gold bots so why would joymax get rid of them? Bots want the ability to buy gold and joymax is giving that to them. Simple as that.

the reason so many sos are dropping is because EVERY lvl 80 was grinding on Roc mont. and the ratio of lvl 80+ to people who have suns is actually low

I never said just Suns. I said SoX. There's a bunch of star, moons, and Suns in my server. And the superstition BS? Just look at all the gold bots, you know there's many ways to stop them, but joymax doesn't.

No company would want a bad rep honey not even joymax

I's just some guy that has over 500 kids in his basement playing SRO for people all day long Since they dont know english they just stay quite and grind. Theyve played so much that they kill in 3-6 second intervals pefrfectly everytime

The main goal of a company is to make money, but no, they're not working together with goldcompanies nor the bot programmers. It's simple, nowdays EVERY botter has prem plus, it's because botters are more addicted to the game, and want to keep up with other botters. Now being a botter isnt enough, peeps need sun sets, sun weapons, honor buffs, item mall scrolls. Joymax is doing everything to keep the people addicted, it's the first "free" mmorpg that makes millions of dollars per year. Even if they release a cup of shit, that gives +20str/+20 int, everyone would buy it. If you say that joymax is working with gold companies/bot programmers together, then you're wrong my friend. It's the best business in china, there are bots for every single mmorpg, you can buy currency for every single mmorpg. Why would joymax ban bots? Who would deliver the gold to keep the players addicted to buy, and waste on alchemy/astral/ and stuff.

How so?

<and yes it might be a little off topic, but>
They might even be behind the other bots as well. You cant even say Bot369 in game, because it gets registered by the filter.
Hmm and that just happens to be the mother of all bots, iSRO

Anyways i could see the correlation between the drops and an increase in the income of Joymax; however, i don't think it was purposefully planned by them.

well, if Jm is doing wat the topic starter said, then they arent very smart. u see, if there is no sox, everyone tries to + their weapon as high aas they can. and because of the lower sucess rate at higher +'s, ppl will have to buy astral/immortal. to get to a decent +, alot o ppl will keep buying astral/immortal (unless they are very lucky O.o). so alot of silk would be bought = more money for jm.

but then again, with JM, u nvr know

It's not a superstition. It's the truth. Closest thing I can compare it to is those fish that cling to sharks, and eat the parasites off them. The shark (Joymax) doesn't eat the fish (the parasitic gold companies) because the fish is helping him. They don't sit down and make out a contract to do that. It just happens.

Joymax doesn't ban the gold botters, servers stay packed 24/7, Joymax gets money off the prem tickets. There really should be laws against this.

the people who can afford the gold for these items would = they have enough money also to pimp it out so them buying gold = having money = buying lots of silk items astral etc so joymax wins either way GG

If Joymax did not work behind the gold bot companies... Or at least some, Then they would NO reason to keep the gold bots on the server.

None of you have proven Joymax is behind bots because you can't. The idea alone defies all logic.

with no gold bots on the servers the game itself would look less populour with less population per server, ye u might say put all the real players on less servers but really u cant do that, can u imagine 5 times the amount of capped players, and these ppl with huge ego's clashing with each other yes u know every server has a few, it would not be pritty

You can't prove MJ touched little boys can you? Doesn't mean it didn't happen. Why did Joymax take away those "exploding" minesweeper things then (forgot the name)?

Whether MJ touched little boys or not is irrelevant. JM stated why they removed the "minesweepers" (protectors) at legend I; To prevent people from using it as a protection mechanism against Europeans or for malicious reasons, such as killing and annoying new players. This is no longer in the other version of SRO which, might I add, are not run by Joymax. Your point? There is little logic in your argument, and rather than back it up with cold hard facts or a slight bit of reason, you take the rumors to heart and leave it at that.

Holy Cow. MJ...JM. Of course, MJ runs JM.

And relax, this is what I believe. I don't give a hoot if you do or not.

You should never believe without question. Scrutiny goes a long way.

So by stating utter BS, and without caring what others say, you're basically trying to force your opinion on others. GG. -_-

The protectors were most likely removed because a) noobs attacked them without knowing what they are and b) with the amount of AoE Euro wizards have (and their popularity as a class) imagine what would happen if people kept dropping them in the middle of grind spots... =/

Yea, believe me or i'll take a stick to your knee caps...

No, this was a conspiracy I thought up. Doesn't mean it's real.

It isn't a superstition its a pretty much guessable fact. Think about it, Silkroad is a FREE game how else do you expect them to make a profit. Just on silk? pfft! they'd go bankrupt in less than a month if bots didnt exist.

If SOX drops have increased... why have I not gotten any!? I EVEN BOUGHT PREMIUM PLUS!! (goes berserk).

I cry...

Anyway, its not too hard to believe that Joymax works with goldbotters and what not. They ban them every few months to make it 'seem' like they're fighting them, but they're just giving the bots time to transfer their gold and make new chars so that the gold buying can continue! Maybe joymax isn't as dumb as we thought!

crowded servers = ppl buying premium

In that case, Every game company that runs on the F2P system should have gone bankrupt. Literally, every game company. If this is the logical pattern game companies follow, they should all be bot infested. Ask yourself this; How did Joymax survive without Item Mall, How did Joymax survive when Bots were a minority, and how Did Joymax survive when Bots did not crowd servers for premium purchase? This goes against your false claims completely. This forum does not hold the brightest Members, I have no complaints, I like it here, I'll just learn to live and forget.

Joymax working with Gold companys?

It doesn´t make any sense
If I were Joymax and I want to sell gold, the gold botters wouldn´t exist, I´m the owner, just some code, and that´s all.
Or I would sell gold in a legit way.
