For 10 silk you can purchase magic pop from the item mall, now i can easilly spend 2k silk a month on isro on alchemy alone if i really had to, so i could basically spam these magic pop cards till i get all the desired suns i need.....so even if this is account bound, every1 who buys silk now has a very high chance of being full sun lol, or atleast have a sun weapon.....is this a good thing? I thought sro was meant to be f2p, now everyone who choose to spend stupid money on silk "i used to" is basically able to not only have all the stat boosts from prem+ etc, but a very high chance of gettin a sun wep...........kinda lame imo
Bring on Aiononline i say so i can play a game that doesnt keep Farking me over for as much money as possible just to be strong lol! Ive spent allot of money on a f2p game.....time for people to open there eyes and realise exactly WTF we are all doing with this game. With that said, ill still go back to isro when im able to, for now ECSRO FTW!

Yeah this is just another way of JoyMax to suck out as much money as they can from the "serious" players of iSRO. Pretty pathetic if you tell me.
OR it can be another scheme of GM Tarky to get what he wants.
In this case, it's a new computer.

Well, when I meant "serious" players. I meant people that will go to any extent (in this case, buying 1b gold a month, buying 2k Silk a month) to come out on top in the game. Taking it a little too far if you tell me.

Well, uh..
Who do you think is getting a % of the profit from the Magic Pop cards + all the other items bought from the item mall? That's right, the GM's. I know I should have included all the GM's, but Tarky came to mind first.

Wrong again bro. First of all the GM's in Isro got nothing to say about the Updates, They just give you info/kick/or ban lol. There aren't any GM's in Isro, only Moderators on their website somewhere in Korea. funniest thing is Isro is controlled by Korean guys who can't even speak english, they got some crappy help-desk, there is bigger chance find a Sosun weapon than you finding the Joymax help-service who really can resolve your problem.
& and the money still flows in. beautiful isn't ?

Does this community complain about absolutely everything? As far back as I can remember there have been people anticipating the gambling system, and like everything else with this game, when it gets here everyone's bitches. Seriously what the **** is everyone's problem, its a free game!

I agree with this! I see this happen every time. People create so much hype about something, they complain when it isn't here. Though, when Joymax implements it, they whine and whine!
Bleh.

who asked for silk spammers to have easy access to full sun? cmon guys, ive been playing sro since back in the 60 cap days, and i have never once complained about the game! I have been paying to play the game for years with no prob, prem, prem+ etc...no issues thats fine. But this is something else, it allows people who spend literally thousands on the game to get full sun without even needing gold...though one plus point, it may effect gold bots as people may simply go through joymax, if thats the case....then it may actually work out for the best!

you forget the point that it is really hard to get those prices...of course some guys spend maybe just 10 silk for 1 magic card to get their sun weapon..others need 20k silk to get one...
I personally think this won`t ruin sro...it maybe let quit some botters cause they get nothing.

Now i have thought about it, this could ruin gold botters and tempt them to leave isro...which imo is worth it. And also destroy scamming, as its all account bound, i guess it has both pros and cons then.

is there realy such a big difference between goldbuy and buying silks, for the same amount of money, to get the sun´s u need ? maybe this even lower the gold prices ...

Yup definitely a good idea from Joymax to eliminate the middle man. Sunwhores will be sunwhores no matter who they buy the suns from.

I do agree joymax gets more and more greedy all the time.
But i dont think everyone willbe running around in full 10d sun anytime soon.
1000 silk charged today with 50 bonus silk thats 105 magic pop tickets i bought today.. and 105 trys at getitng the sun sword.... and 105 fails.
I admit i am a bit of a silkroad addict myself and spend way to much on silk and this has made it worse.
Why dont they just sell all 10d suns on item mail and get it over with.
I Farking npced about 20 8th degree sos items today...junk... and about 30 9th deg lucky stones, cant they at least give us 10th deg lucky stones and 10th deg SoS as a token reward for failing.
How much is a 10d sun sword worth in silk... well ive spent 1000 so far, im guessing one is worth at elast 500$ so ill keep trying.
Its better than being scammed for 10 billion trying to ge tone at least.
I hope the devil spirt s grade can be extended, as thats the only other thing im interested in.

It's called the
Premium Item Mall for a reason. You become a
Premium Member for a reason. If buying silk items like Devil Spirit, Prem+, and these Magic Pop Cards didn't give people any sort of advantage, why would anyone buy them? That's the incentive right there.

Yup. This is the only RPG game I know of where the rarest/ most valuable item can be bought with cash and not hard work/luck. With every update it just becomes a game of who has more money to throw at Joymax.
But SRO is a dieing game and everyone knows this. With each one of these updates more people quit. The next update will probably be something along the lines of Premium Platinum that gives 100% exp boost around the clock with Str 30, Int 30, 30% Phy/Mag dmg increase etc... Its just going to get more and more ridiculous to the point where a non silk buyer will have about half the hp/mp and phy/mag dmg a silk buyer has regularly.
And then they will start hosting comeback events where they will give all of this you have been paying for, for free.
I give SRO another year to year and a half before it looks like Ksro.
