So i was just walking around in hotan looking for a new sword when i get a pt request from some random dude. I noticed it was exp share,so i accepted and everyone in the pt was 85+ so i thought to myself, hey free lvling!I also thought that they must be botting thats why they havent kicked me by now.

I only blocked their names so they wouldn't get flamed or anything.

Anyone had something similar like this happen to them before? Where they could exploit a bot?

And Im pretty sure you will get 10+ people in this thread saying You were plvl'd by a bot, therefore, you aren't legit.

Gotta love this forum! :wink:

Where did you get it in your head that all botters were assholes in the first place? O.o On troy, you'll have some that will invite you in nub areas and plvl you for a bit for free with their bots.

tl;dr Botters are people too.

Funny thing is, 99% of legits are assholes in game, and douche bags. The botters i knew were always cool, course you always have the high lvls who think they are gods in real life cause their char is capped.

Oh hai, if you haven't noticed it yet, we aren't suggesting that you should bot; we are saying that those that bot aren't all assholes. Get your head out of your ass. And yes, I do pk assholes, legit or not, with a true enjoyment in my heart.

You don't have a very broad view of things nor bother to actually read the thread for what it actually is, now do you? The majority of people, obviously you included, have this narrowminded view that anybody that bots is a shallow ****, immoral, completely incompetent, and a socially inept individual. This thread merely points out that botters aren't. Never did we state that botting is just fine, acceptable, or that we didn't give a **** about botters in the first place.

I dont give a **** if a bot is a really nice person irl if im working hard for my lvls and my gear and some asshole is cheating, boting his way to lvl 90 and running their own personal gold bots for their gear i dont give a **** if they mother teresa irl they are cheaters and should be treated as such.

And yes i am a legit asshole to bots only.

Point is not that they are an asshole to people

The point is they are being an asshole for botting and ruining it for the legits dont matter if they help the low lvls with free plvls or treat you nicely.

You bot = your an asshole who farked up this game.

Simply botting =/= personality
But botting = cheating
And cheating = immoral

Now i pose a question. Do people who think this situation is wrong still exp dis with bots? Is that not the same thing? Taking advantage of a bot for free exp?

Dont get caught up in the hypocrisy :roll:

Botting is cheating. I don't like cheaters.
Gold buying is cheating.
Pwrlvl is noob (imo, train yourselves!)

But tbh, I've given up on being adamant on a forum. Bot on my server and I give you hell...otherwise theres no point in the flaming.
I admit, most legits are assholes....to people botting/scamming/goldbuying. (mostly)
If you're legit and in a legit union you get treated well.
Most of us trained our way up, therefore we are against pwrlvl, especially by bots.

But without the bots you couldn't get that free exp. You are using a bot to help you grind. The bot does his thing and thus you get free exp. In principle its the same as power leveling. You can be power leveled and still be legit, same with grinding. Both are using a bot to help you get exp.

wth are you talking about you make no sense how is it free exp when you grind for it yourself.

A pt would get full either a bot or a legit would take the spot and the bot would get a full pt theres no difference if the bot is in your pt or not you and the bot would still get the same exp.

By your reasoning we wouldnt be able to buy anything from stall network because a bot might be selling drops from his bot session.

The way I see it;

Botters have more time for other stuff and relaxing activities..
Legits have to play pretty much 24/7 and with this poor game design you can't help but to be frustrated..

So basically nice people are botters :)

But in all seriousness, there is no ingame moderation apart from some very, and I mean very, crappy chat filter. So everyone is free to be an asshole to whatever extent they wish. That's where the problem is..

Lemme make this easier for all you chaps, as discussion isn't gonna get anyone anywhere at the current state this thread has managed to arive at.

SRF population:
1: Hardcore cultish legits. Nothing is legit cept the way they play it.
2: True Legits. They don't bot, and they don't buy gold, and they might not use 3rd party programs.
3: General Legits. Play the game legitimately [no bot], but play it to enjoy. Some friends are botters, but who cares; we're here to play and have fun.
4: Botters. The majority on the forum.
5: Botting Legits. Hypocrits who pretend to be #1.

Arguing amongst these 5 groups is pointless; at the state where we currently have arrived, being "legit" has become a religion.
