Silkroad Online Forums

$15 a month isn't barely any money at all so I mean more legits probably buy silk than you would think plus most are probably higher level now and have to buy silk to pimp out their gear and such...

People are still failing to see what is being said. Of course player bots buy silk, haven't I said that in my first post? (Rhetorical question)

I'm going to say it again, but simplified.

Legitimate players grind at the natural rate (slower).
Player bots grind at a faster rate (faster).

Anything beyond grinding is 'fancying up your character.'
In the grinding category, it has anything to do with enhancing your character while grinding or to get to grinding.

80 (Identifies the amount of people)
C (Cash given)
T (Time takes to level 80)
A (Amount of Time to get to level 80)
M (Amount of Cash to Joymax)
NR (Natural Rate (slower))
FR (Faster Rate (faster))

Grinding:
FR-T=A*C=M*80 = Less Cash
NR-T=A*C=M*80 = More Cash

Summary (PlayerBot): Bots decrease the amount of time to get to level 80, since because the bot levels faster than the natural rate. Which mean, assuming the player pays per month on grinding enhancers, the player will be paying less; since the player will be done grinding in less months than the legitimate player.

Summary (Legitimate Player): Legitimate players at the natural rate of grinding. The player is slower than the player bot. Which means, assuming the player pays per month on grinding enhancers, the player will be paying more; since the the natural rate of grinding will take longer for the legitimate player comparing to the bot.

Total Summary: The theory is that legitimate players will pay much more , since they obviously play longer and longer in the critical gold rush during the game; i.e. the grinding.
