Silkroad Online Forums

Since there are a few of us trying to be reasonable and keep the "debate" going on this server..and since SG said this thread should be in GD, I'm reposting the original. Not sure why it couldn't have been moved???

Silkroad is a game... Period!

How people play has not one thing to do with real life... Period!

Moral Fiber? Who here is perfect? what are your thoughts at night? what is the wors tyou ever done?

Selfish? Is that not man for you? If you were not playing SRO for yourself and your personal enjoyment, who are you playing for?

Silkroad has not one thing in common with the Nazi Reign, with handicaped people, with morals thos subjects are real life! SRO is a fantasy!

Addiction? Botters have an addiction? I am sure some may, BUT, what about the addiction and obsession of "Teh War On Bots" or who is legit and not legit? Is one addiction worse than the other? Sheesh RAL LIFE PEOPLE!

You fight over Botters, you waste a lot of energy here typing away and fighting and you accuse others of moral issues and addictions. WELL IF YOU ARE SO DAMN CONCERNED ABOUT MORALS AND ADDICTIONS... try spending your time writing your local reps and news reporters and governments and focus on some real life issues such as drug addiction hunger, homless, those that are really hurting and shit the hell up about boting once and for all!

The great kingdoms of the world all will fall, why? cus Big Brother wanted to much control, keep it up and SRF will fall also, people will get sick and tired of the constant Bot BS here and move on, including what legits are left.

Am I a bot lover? Do I Bot? Pfffff I know one thing, I am Legit in what I say. I am Legit in how I feel, Are You? Or are you just spouting off to hear yourself talk? or in this case type. Come on people, focus on real things and not a friggen game go about your business and dont ask, dont tell, leave people alone and enjoy. The botters will not end this game or the world, Your desire to hate will.

And here is a line for you...

Botting is like a sex toy, Fun while it last, but, not as good as the real thing.

Knightress has Spoken


Oh as for any spelling errors, dont talk to me about it, I refuse to use a speel checker "BOT" to correct my human flaws. Just Like I dont use the Cruise COntrol "BOT" when i drive. OR the Garage Door Opener, OR Voice Mail, Or The Computer to Download OR OR OR OR OR

defining "morals" is relative... what morals may mean to you, may not mean the same for others... big brother isn't the downfall of a kingdom... existentialism is..

*ya, i'm bored*

ting

I agree with that, which is part of the reason I, and others, are against this whole witch hunt.

I disagree, partially with this:

"... big brother isn't the downfall of a kingdom... existentialism is.. "

I big brother can definitely be a cause of downfall for an empire.

Like that post wasnt dumb enough the first time around.

It hasnt aged well, its just as dumb now.

Of course you think it's dumb

Geez, cry me a river while you're at it why don't cha.

Wow, what you, from the 50s? Cry me a river? Golly-gee-willackers that's a side-splittin' post ya got there buddy!

Well I'll throw my 2 cent in. You are looking at botters because it's against the TOS. What about you guys walking around with full sun sets and weapons and you guys with level 80 euros that were powerleveld by a bot knowingly.
There is a huge bot hater I know that begs some people that we all know bot to p-lvl them, does that not make them just as guilty as the others? Buying gold, does that not give you an unfair advantage? It's funny how we go after one thing and never reply much to the others when asked about.
Unfair advantage is unfair advantage, they both give you things you didn't earn in the game. All just as guilty, no exceptions.

like i said... morals are relative at this point... what you think is fair and just may not define fair and just for others... you can't force what you believe to be right to others... well, you can, but whether or not they'll listen... is obviously up to them at this point...

ting

You can if you're a MOD

Edit: this applies to us as well (non-mods)

ting

Holy sh1t, you came up with that yourself? I'm impressed. No, really.

+1

but isn't that what moderators are for? to moderate? to enforce rules and take actions to those rules? this forum isn't a democracy... we either abide by it and stay, or go against it and leave...

hope that didn't sound rude...

ting

no, i just meant they can decide what is "moral" and enforce it on others via this forum, that's all I meant

and no, I didn't think your reply was rude. I actually appreciate being able to DISCUSS this intelligently and politely, but usually when I try to inject some thought or devil's advocate stuff into the debate I get flamed and called a "pro-bot idiot n00b" hahahaha

FCK the haters!!!

Snitches get Stitches!!!!

I cant keep replying to all topics to many topics and drama ever since this bannin botters from forum idea came up so ill just reply to the 1 on top atm. I like how people compare this game to real life. You say rules are rules sure there are rules people break them in game and in LIFE. Ur telling me uve never broke rules in your life ? that does not include game and have not being caught ? should u have got punished even though uve got away for whatever reason.
Dont reply telling me no ive always obeyed the law in my life.
Get over it , live with it.

i agree with the pro-bot idiot noob.

fine i'll play:

u'r right about one thing, silkroad is a game. just like counterstrike is a game, just like starcraft is a game. now, is silkroad less of a game cuz it isn't televised, or it doesn't have as large a fanbase? that's for u to decide, but for my post here, they're the same.

counterstrike, possibly the most competitive and well known FPS game created. the backbone of cs is aim and strategies. of course, in pub games, aim generally outweighs strategy. what happens when u substitute ur human aim for a bot? u face shot every single person 99% of the time. people flame aimbots freely and mock them and admins ban them. in league matches, cheating is a huge no no.

starcraft, another widely popular RTS game. a good player needs good memorization, good reaction time, and good decision making. basically, u start off with peon units that u'll send to gather minerals to build additional buildings/units, u build an army and kill ur opponent. every starcraft game if played using "fog of war", meaning u have no idea, unless u scout, what ur opponent is doing. now if u hack, like use maphack or moneyhack, u'll be able to see what ur opponent is doing 100% of the time, and u'll have additional resources at ur disposal. once again cheaters are looked down upon, as it takes away a majority of the skill level needed.

it's funny that u see a parallel with those two games. the two fan bases don't look kindly on cheaters.

for silkroad, a "good" player needs a good amount of time, a generous amount of ingame gold, and many high level hook ups; time takes up a huge chunk of that, cuz wit time, u can get the other two pretty easily. what happens when one player cheats the system and uses a bot? he basically receives additional time for 0 the effort.

ingame, sro is ..... up. botters run rampant everywhere u go, with pockets of legits hanging around. however, on srf, the mods and admins decided to actually give a shit about it. they decided that they won't let botters run free, they're thinking "hey, legits started srf for legits, why should botters come in here and think they are immune?". botters hiding among legits are bad, but botters pretending to be legits are worse. u guys pretend botting is normal, that's it's part of the game. here's a shocker for u: it's not. bots are 3rd party programs that give an unfair advantage to the players that want to play for fun. u said it urself, it's a game, "leave people alone and enjoy." botters should leave the servers and let legits play how the game was meant to be played. alas, JM's incompetence forces us to fend for ourselves. srf is now taking that step towards an all, 100% legit community, and if that means losing a few friends along the way, then so be it.

u haven't said outright u'r pro-bot or just indifferent, we can only speculate. however, if u truly don't care who bots, then the least u can do is stay quiet and watch the proceedings like a good observer. ur rambling-ons contribute very little to the current ideals of this forum. to the extreme, if u feel u've lost touch with srf, then by all means leave.

Ok ill give an actual opinion here.

JM declared war on the bots, guess what happened. Not only did they lose HORRIBLY ing, but their forum is a gi-normous mad house of moron spammers.

The war that srf is declaring, appears to be leading to the same thing. A mad house spamtastic forum. I stopped going to the official forum, excpet maybe once every other week. Still the same thing.

HOEFULLY, the mods here can see and care enuff to cut it at the root. ON THE OTHER HAND, we have seen how much trouble banning 1 stubborn person has lead too. 1 person even lead to a news thread telling new comers to limit their posting to avoid senseless banning.

I don’t bot, I don’t encourage or advocate botting, but I do like a peacefull forum atmosphere with which to discuss sro. If this forum continues to head in the direction of the official, ill just go troll somewhere else. (not a threat, just making a statement.)

Same goes in game. Im not going to make my grind session a drama session. Im not gonna ban ppl from a gen. Party if they are bots. I don’t have time for that shit cause I HAND GRIND. Im lvl 40 working on lvling my dog to forty. Im so happy I hit lvl 40 ! My first charicter to hit lvl 40.

Anyway, im not going to let bots ruin my ingame experience, and im not going to let the 4 other people on this forum that DON’T bot ruin my out of game experience.

what drama? it's only "drama" cuz u crybabies make it so. i'm having the time of my life. if u like teletubbies, i suggest u go elsewhere. this place obviously isn't for u.

OMG there are far more non botters than botters in this forum. The only forums where that ISNT true is bot forums.

wtf kinda sensless drivvel is this? im not crying in the least. and this is a non stop drama fest. and you appear to feed on it. just imagine if people put as much effort into lvling as they do going out of their way to hunt down afk players.



simply a relished figure for the sake of humour forgive me.

Oh please, I play Halo so I'll talk about that as it is CSS.
There are not a large number of botters, there's alot more people who don't aimbot in FPS games than the ones who cheat.
FPS games require skill. Silkroad really doesn't. All you need to do is press 12341234, big whoop.
I don't think there's any aimbot forum in FPS games, and if there is there aren't a large number of people who goes there. People don't say "bot on bot strong" in FPS games, they aren't proud of it like some people in SRO are.
Some botters in SRO think legits are like the people in the "make love not warcraft" episode of southpark, probably right for some people too, haha.

You can't compare an FPS's aimbot to an MMOrpg's botting program that presses 1234 for you.

lol, k.

and why can't u? they're all computer games afterall. the main point of mmorpgs is lvling, the main point of FPS is shooting people, so u get bots to lvl for u and u get bots to aim for u. same thing.

EDIT:

yes, see what happens when ppl do that. they end up with 20-30 legits facing 500 botters. the majority of legits don't actively search out for botters. they lvl. they only play around wit afk bots when they're done wit their lvling.

Not the same at all, you can get good in less than a month without playing very much in a FPS.
Let's say you learn everything there is to learn about SRO in a month - it still takes you a long ass time to hit 80 to do anything useful.

Are there proud people aimbotting in CSS ? Do they have forums, do they outweigh the number of people who play without aimbots?
I think not, I sure hope not.

i disagree. aimbotting ruins the fun for legits. what's the point in playing in a server where aimbots run rampant. u can hardly get a hit off.

bots ruin the fun as well. what's the point in playing in a server where bots run rampant.

they both take the shortcuts thru foreign programs. cheating is cheating.

THey dont because when the community finds them, they get rid of them. Exactly what we are trying to do here.
