It wouldn't be so boring if we must not read so often how boring it is
Let me show you some interviews of GM's with SRO-gamers after a new Botter list is published:

GM: ohhh ((
LastUnicorn: Do you know the way?
GM: yes - stand in front of the statue, close your eyes, and say 3 times "There is no better place than home"

)
LastUnicorn: Thanks GM I love you

GM: Hi this is GM Gargamel, you like our event?
XXX_Schlange: Woah a GM!! Can you make the harmony circle?
GM *sign* always the same.. yes I can, but I really don't want, that f***** circle produces lags, I will get dc and have to start again to log on - forget it!
XXX_Schlange: Hey I have a question, I am a thief I start with one piece of stuff, to do 1* popping, you think it is okay?
GM: I don't know what you are talking about
XXX_Schlange: I kill 1 Star Trader with my NPC thiefs, that is the trick
GM: Mmhhh let me think about it, it is a little bit a bug-abuse, perhaps I better ban you?
XXX_Schlange: Noooo, all players do it, really!!
GM: Oh okay, than it is okay, everything all others do is okay...it is stupid to do something with an own opinion! Better do what most others do, so you don't have to think, to argue, or whatever. Good to hear you are not someone with an own mind, just a number which buys silk. I really like you:)
XXX_Schlange: Yep I agree
GM: Sure you do, lol
And of course, here is the truth - why do ppl get banned and what will happen to them after they got banned!
So everybody should say sorry to Spirit - there is nothing like botting in SRO at all!
