Don't think about it.. just do it!

I played for about 8 months as a game, after that (around the time of the euro update) I just logged on to see friends and check up on my union. Now I haven't logged on since the Fortress update!

IMO, ever since the euro update this game has grown boring.

if you have noticed the amount of gold bots has way jumped since euro came out, and too many euro's think plvling is the only way, it all comes down to the gold bots, if there were no gold bots, then more people would be jobbing instead of plvling because of alot of the money used to buy plvls are bought gold and it would not be so super profitable to plvl all the time, if there were no gold bots there would be more people around to party with, if there were no gold bots there would be more jobbing, because if you can't buy the gold you'd have to job to earn a decent amount, because the market is inflated also from gold bot sales of elixirs and sox they find and stall. The root of the problem is the gold bot, its not the new race, the new race gives more situations for you to learn and fight in which adds diversity and makes it more fun. Jobbing is very active on csro despite its lack of people playing the few days i was there i saw alot of jobbing compared to players, there were no gold bots, we need to find a way to stop the gold bot, hmm virus the gold companies servers some how, but people saying its gotten worse look at the way the server has become and why, i don't beleive its euro, it only takes the face of euro.

Thought it tons of times. But no matter how long I take a break of that game, I somehow always get back to it.

Well I didn't say the game was boring because of the European race, I said it was boring since the update the race came with.

And as you say is correct, gold bots have doubled if not tripled since the update, as has the amount of people powerleveling their way to the top. I've also noticed (on my server anyway) jobbing has decreased dramatically since then.

I remember when I was new to this game, everytime I'd go out grinding I would become friends with those grinding around me, if I got sick of grinding I might go try abit of PvP, so I'd head down to Jangan south... and it would be overloaded with people, most occasions there would be people summoning tons of scrolls/pandoras, I died heaps but I didn't care because at least I was having fun.

Now I'm level 64, after failing becoming friends with those grinding around me (A.K.A the goldbots) I think abit of Pvp might excite me for abit... too bad there is no one else pvping, what else can I do? Job? Unique hunt? Party grind?
Jobbing to me has become just as boring as grinding, I've already killed each unique about 50 times, and I'll be lucky to find a party who wants a level 64 chinese char that can only commit about 1 hour at max.

For me this game isn't fun anymore, so all I could do is quit.

quit for a while because I got hacked, then came back on and off for 2 months or so. Got fed up with login problems and JM's bad management. and finally quit.

Now I've found something better :)
