More servers aren't the answer because each server acts as an individual economic community, each will mirror the others always. Surely all of us who do not possess Premium tickets and login preferrence have asked ourselves "Surely they aren't selling THAT many Premium tickets". I personally, am not too sure any more. I know that if I were in the gold business I would NOT have the time to sit and try to log in my infinite number of accounts over and over due to server traffic. I would auto-log with Premium, end of story. Or maybe these certain botting accounts have "special" priviledge?

Now I wonder, what if, theoretically, a 3500 cap server held 3700 Premium tickets? What would happen? A random DC to make room for new logins? Do accounts that are not actively purchasing Premium or silk get flagged by SRO? Would they be placed on a First Out DC list for new logins? Would they be placed on a Last In list for login?

I know it all sounds sceptically cinister and paranoid. But let's face it, JM is NOT here to create a "Smooth Gaming Experience" for you. They are in it for the Benjamins. And ALL actions are based on MAXIMIZING revenues.

Anyway, the design is reaching it's full potential now. it IS and will now ALWAYS be, a game for the priviledged who can afford to keep the rest of us out.

I think goldbots use a clientless sro or something like that. Maybe they can bypass traffic?

Its not based on maximizing long-term revenues. joymax works on short burst.

each wave builds and builds and builds until its a tsunami, problem is: The tsunami cannot be maintained for long periods of time.

Goldbots loop the log in process and are always ready to re-log in. They don't d/c and they don't use captcha.

lol
i lolled

goldbots cannot bypass traffic, but i believe they can bypass capthca (sp?)

anyways, jm do not give goldbots special priviledge , why should they?

and if every goldbots brought a premium they would be out of business

Whats so funny, u never heard of a clientless bot before?

Whats Captcha?

captcha is the image verification code. there are ways around it...but lets not go into detail here

yeh, wouldn't want to be misconstrued as suggesting that sort of thing.

Captcha? Captcha! Captcha Captcha Captcha!

'Hey did you write your Captcha correctly?'
'Yes, I did write my Captcha correctly!'

lol funny word huh

lul

they don't bypass the image verification.

it is just auto typed in by the proggy

If you read about bypassing Captchas on the internet (google for OCR or Optical Character Recognition), you'll see that anyone who's into computer science and AI's could do it without much of a trouble. And hey, doesn't the bots require some AI work too?

If JM was so worried about bots OCRing the captcha, they'd change it or use professional ones. The one they got now is a joke. I doubt they're really worried about that tho

it wuold be so much easier to login without image verification code, u could just make a macro to spam the connect button till it logged in lol
