I lol'd hard... at all the ppl thinking JM banning bots would help... silly nobs
They do the same exact shit every year. Ban 10-30k bots at a time, server gets populated every week from Mon-(Wed-Fri) than they come back. Now they're not even perma banning. So after a week or 2 they all come back in waves. Woo! If you want a bot-free SRO, go make your own private server.
Here's a summary for all you nobs getting excited:
1) Never IP ban, JM too lazy/dumb.
2) Goldbots will be back within a week.
3) Server only stay populated in part due to the popular free bot used by many going pay 2 use.
4) JM does this every year, learn to pick up trends.
5) After a month or so, JM will go back to ignoring bots and pretend all is good.
I've yet to see some actual high lvl players get banned, like perma banned. This new system just makes it seem like they're doing something, but they could easily ban bots 1-2 times than ignore them. We'll still get ban lists of over 10-30k ppl, but they will just come back in a week or so.
