High level players that bot (most of them anyways) put tons of money into this game.....and these GMs know each and every account that is botting......They will ban the gold bots and only warn the player bots with hopes that player bots will stop.....I've never seen a game where they warn you ahead of time about their intentions....
This gives player bots a chance to momentarily quit. Any idiot can see that. Its like a police officer announcing to the entire community in advance that he's gonna patrol by a well known drug corner. Is this how GMs will fight against bots??.
This is lame....Joymax's own incompetence is forcing them to hold on to their main source of income....which are mid-high level gold buying botters. All of us here have already established that over 90% of SRO's "real" player base are botters. Joymax won't remove 90% of SRO's earnings despite our repeated protest. Nothing is going to change.
To fix sro they would need to
1) make it p2p
2) fix the exp and sp rates, and more content to compete with other established p2p games
3) get rid of the item mall
4) make jobbing a LOT more rewarding
5) have more gm support
6)merge servers
7)market the game for new players to join

make a new server so that the new players can play without getting owned by lvl 105 botted older players
9)implement some kind of game protection and bot bannings
Basically turning it into a real game, but...that would be too much work. JM has been milking this cash cow and parting idiots from their money since way back at 60 cap, they have the money do make these changes in a whole week. but its a risk. so untill they start losing massive amounts of money they will leave it as it is. They arent interested in making a great game(at the beginning they were) they are intersted in money, plain and simple.
This is not news folks
