Has "legit" become a bad word?

-*-*-*-* Frankly, the Silkroad Community has fallen so low, that even that legit players are labeled Botters. People base their beliefs on hearsay. I heard this, I heard that. No evidence, nothing to back up these accusations.
Am I legit? Don't care. I played the game the way I wanted to. I have no guild or shame in the way I played.

This is my Silkroad Experience based on three different definitions of legit.

All character are well farmed. Meaning all skills maxed at 69, before the latest update. 4 Masteries.

If Legit Means never botting...
I've leveled 1 INT completely myself (Oasis)
2 80 Glaives Share account (Aege)
1 70 INT Share account (Venice)
Various 30-45 characters (experimental) (Aege/Xian)

If Legit Means never Botting or Buying Gold.
2 INT, 1 Shared, 1 all me
1 Glaive (Shared)
Various 30-45 characters (experimental)

If Legit means never Bot, Never Buy Gold, Never Share
Various 30-45 characters (experimental)
1 INT Bicheon completely me
- Ironically this the character that has the worst rep. Been called botter, hacker, and so on. Good old Oasis server. What can I say, Oasis is the server of name calling for no apparent good reason.
- Ruckus on Oasis is my only character that I have never botted, bought gold or shared.
- Its also the only character to be hacked. During the hack, it was delvled approximately 60 levels.
- OASIS MORONS (Including Defiance)... Delvling does not = Botting. Character was completely hand grinded from 1-69. Hacked. Hand grinded again from 12-71 + 120K SP Farming.

Status: LeveL 71. Masteries @ 65. Farming SP, turn 72, will have 70 masteries. Play time is miniscule. Haven't grinded full GT in over 2 months, lack of motivation.

Grats, you dont have anything to do beside playing sro, cool.

lol owned

Clear example of Silkroad Community downhill.

Is playing Silkroad All Day mean being a college student, 5 classes a semester. Participating in Model UN with Poli Sci Clubs. Volunteering at soup kitchens. Participating in tutoring club with youth in the surrounding area. Maintaining a daily schedule of exercise, involving running and swimming (alternate days). Working 2 Jobs during the summer to help pay for college.

Then yes I play silkroad all day if that's your definition.

Doing what I did I've only done that familiar crazy 8 hour grind on 1 character. The rest, its called Gold Ticket. 180 Minute Grind, finish it, be done with it. Don't waste time cape fighting, meaningless jobbing or unique hunting.

Also sharing account = Grind is almost as fast as a bot. But even sharing is 1 GT time, other person plays for another 3-4 hours. Bot is 24.7, still can't compete.

Which is what Nightbloom was saying. At one point botters were associated with selfishness and cheating while handgrinders were associated with accomplishment and determination. Now, its upside down. Botters have their priorities straight and have things to do IRL. Handgrinders are no-life obsessives living in their parent's basement.

Handgrind to 80 = basement-dwelling, pimply-faced, anti-social freak.

Bot to 80 = popular, happy, well-balanced player.

Clearly you did not get the joke. Nice pic Cruor.

Gonna have to agree with night on this one. *Inserts some random history lesson about being tossed into hellfire for doing the right thing* I guess you could compare being legit to that...

55 and still legit. I play the game because of my friends. They know I won't ever cap out, as do I. But, I love those guys and would quit in an instance if they left.

When i finished my farming in stronghold (before euro) i wanted to say something about what i accomplished but i knew people wouldn't just take
my word for it and would go off saying things that weren't true. Without any proof or anything and i didn't want to deal with that. ='(

Dude, do you really have to flaunt your "I'm done with sro I'm so happy now because sro sucked since nobody liked me" attitude in every single thread? We get it, you quit, we get it, you want us to quit.

IceCrash · **Posted:** Thu Sep 20, 2007 11:43 pm

Srry if i was harsh or mean or whatever.. but really, he claims his legit and grinded all those chars, when it took me almost an year to get 64, 95% of it in a legit way (ive alredy explained myself on another thread, ive never bought gold) and still, what was he expecting from other ppl when he posted that? A warm nice? I mean..come on.. I've played sro non stop, ive gained a few pounds cause of it,ivr got addicted, ive got worst grades at school cause i lost my interest for school and i wouldnt leave home..now i dont do that anymore, stuff's normal and im a lot happier, when ppl that went or are through what i said and still say "i got a life!!" and all the other jazz..their just hidding the truth from themselves cause their real life isnt going that well

Thats why normally now, when i think and start talking about sro, i get mad, even tho i had reasons to do what i did with sro (cause i was tired of not spending anytime at home just relaxing..so i just abused it and i see the results now) But like i said now im a lot happier cause everything's just fine, a lot better than it was when i was that addicted to silkroad

, gladly i noticed that i was going too far..so i stopped
What i said it's true.. Meh.

At the end of the day, it brings down to who is higher level / better equips and can pwn in PvP. So what if you're legit? You still end up being a lower leveled noob that gets pwned and the only way to gain satisfaction is to tell yourself that you didn't bot / buy gold - whatever. You know what? You can grind and hand play this game ALLLLLLL you want...someone might not call you a botter...but they'll call you a NO-LIFE loser because all you do is spend time at home playing the game.

If people want to bitch, maybe they can whine about those little Turkish kids who are so immature and bad-mannered...oh wait there's already been heaps of threads like that.

Hmm...go do a big cry to your mommy and get over it! Someone bots? Big-whoopi-Farking-do...as if people don't have enough problems already and need to worry about little things such as bots. So sad!

Its breaking the rules so they can worry and complain about it. If you don't care about being legit, then you don't care about sro.

Since when did everyone become psychic and accurately tell how someone manages their time to level up?

ditto that. i farmed for only a month or so on gold tic and sp tic after getting hacked on my original account. only 45k but was just enough to get to 60. took a week and a half off and then came back and 0 gapped for a month on sp and premium. as soon as i get around mid 50s i get none other than PureOwnage (as hes known on this site) telling me he had a vid of me botting. i told him id like to c it, and he said hed put it up. well its been 2 weeks and so far he hasn't posted that vid yet with his only excuse for not posting it was being in game at the time. and every1 with half a brain from xian knows that his account Memphist was botted. total hypocrite if you ask me. and thats the other thing about sro right now. NOONE BELIEVES THAT A LEGIT CAN GET TO <INSERT LVL> IN THE TIME IT TAKES A BOT TO. every1 ive talked to says they beleive its possible but no1 will belive you if you say you did it. well i am legit and i got to 60 with less than 2 months of actual playing days (i do not count my week and a half of vacation), so take that and shove it up your hypocritical asses.
