Its actually a clever sales technique. They force people to buy a large amount of silk at a time and most people end up wasting the silk anyway and dont use it towards their monthly silk use.

Its so funny that people think they get free silk. Silk is free to make so joymax just made it cheaper now they found out more people buy huge amounts of silk to get that 70 free silk.

Silk , in all his meaning is designed and meant for a purpose wich was to pay for the game support and devellopment , benefits going to the company.

It is true in any version of Sro BUT iSro.

iSro more looks like , silk = profit for the company.

They don't program anything, and the worjk to fix bugs probably cost about 1500$ / month ( a freelancer programmer that is payed to write 2 line of code randomly to fix some stupid bug or change a letter in the text. but nothing much usefull )
Irony*

Do I need to talk about the support Isro gets...?

[Sleepy1338]

They only do events that include money or silk.

[Lorenzo]

by the way,

who think that an event with a duration equal to " endless" can't be qualified as "event"..?

[FreakStar]

once joymax sales the company to anyone else i say we all chargeback on joymax no profit for them = funny to us haha
that would be hilarious though they think they got away with millions of dllars then everyone charges back and they get less then 100 lol

Wow, you people are something else. Yeah you really did alot to "earn" your free game privileges and now Joymax is out to cheat you. They don't deserve to make a profit by putting out a quality product that uses the latest graphics and continues to add levels and new areas that would cost you another $30 for other games. They also don't need to pay all the programmers, server costs, utilities, internet connection, etc. because you deserve a quality free game that you can log on at any time. Wow, talk about the X or Me generation. Free to play with no cap limit and they make buying items optional and people complain about it.

How about some honesty with regards to the bot problems? Considering the amount of silk I buy every month (dual premium+ this past month), would it really be too much to ask to get an honest answer from them? Pred was quite clear in his statement: they don't dare to ban player bots out of fear of massive chargeback and losing Paypal usage because of chargebacks. If that's the case, then at least be honest about it, in stead of making us few legits try to find a spot to grind in, in an attempt to adhere to the ToS.

At least I had fun last night getting bots murder status, and making them drop their equipment.

[Smoked]

Yes, bots are kinda annoying but I've noticed some bots will not attack mobs that are currently being killed or will move onto something else if you start attacking it. Those bow bots however are annoying as crap. Anyways, Joymax will never get rid of the bots because:

1) It keeps the servers full and will entice you to buy silk to get gold/silver cards so you can actually play.
2) It adds to the economy of the game by allowing items to be purchase (makes rares more frequent).
3) It's an admin/mod hassle to deal with every one of these complaints and banning IP's which may inadvertantly ban legitimate characters.

But I've noticed that they've dealt with the situation better by having higher repop rates. Soooooo... since they will never fix this bot issue in it's entirety, it's best not to purchase any gold for real money, not buy from any stalls with the names like fighghghghg and that way there would not be any reason for these botters to even bother.
