no they don't. joymax just found a way to make money with them.


+1mil

Gold bots = crowded servers, which = harder to login, which in turn = more selling of premi's = a happy JM and sad people w/o premis


you know joymax can just ban the goldbots.
fake server populations so its just as hard to log in = more prem buyers.
Sell gold themselves. that way more money.

Since you do know how much quicker it was back then im sure you know the validity of my point. Logging in use to be so much easier. Just spam connect until you got the captcha code than type it asap to get it. It was bliss compared to this. Or even the days where there was no cap. Logging in was always successful on the 1st attempt, it was just a pain in the ass having massive lage spikes every 10 seconds.

And sure its only a few people, but thats just a few that i know of. Im just 1 player who knows barely anyone, when you imagine all of the servers there would be a lot more as well. Also take into the account that rage towards joymax may build more with time as the situation gets worse. Theres a good chance more and more people will start to take the mind set that i and others share.


Yeah, I remember being able to just hold enter until I got in XD But that'll never happen unless JM just totally gives up caring. If they notice a drop in sales they'll probably do some minimalist bot ban, or release something new to attract more people.

We should stop treating people like objects, or at least treat our objects with more respect.

Yes and Joymax could force premiums by banning the gold bots and faking server traffic like the person above said.

Or, say there are 1500 (only 100 can get in at a time) legits on a server, and 3400 gold bots. Perma-ban all the gold bots, drop server capacity to 1000 and then everyone's buying premium to try and get those 500 free slots.

You don't need gold bots to fill the server. Just drop server capacity. It's not like all 3400 gold bots are buying premium.
