I love competition between large gaming corporations.

Blizzard has set the bar. Joymax, how shall you respond?

Well, 105.000 accounts block aint that bad at all.

BUT, how many peeple plays WoW ?
And how many people plays Sro ?

It think that proportionally joymax is doing good.

BUT, what is the percentage of unlegit players of WoW ?
and what is the percentage of unlegit players of SRO ?

There is much more improvement left to do.

All this assuming JM's claims are truthful, which I find questionable given their lame actions in this area for the past 6 months.

i must admit all they have blocked are gone no gold bots or power leveling bots are around the yeti no more AT ALL since all of this

They're improving the service, its all good.

And you can't compare a f2p game with a p2p game where they HAVE an obligation to all users banning them bots.

WoW is p2p, they should be that high easy, people still bot the shit outa that game.

over 7mil peps

it's hard to say how many ppl play silkroad also.. all I have to say is I'm happy the GMs banned all those bots because the caves cleared up a lot I do still see some bots in town tho, but they aren't out grinding anymore

now if they can only ban SP and grinding bots...............

If JM banned 105k bots, then all servers would have no one to PvP.

but do you wanna pvp against botters?

Ull be amazed at how bad some botters are in pvp. Ive seen a nuker (lvl 62) in my guild hit the same dmg she does to me on someone lvl 65 glaive and ive been able to kill people lvl 65/66 from botter guilds.

that was his or her gear and skills that needed to be improved

not that hard if you run a bot, since more game time means more gold in the pocket and the sp will fill up without any sweat or tears being spilled

Please note that WoW you pay to play, Gm's there have to give a shit because their revenue is very different to what Joxmax makes, Sro is F2p you play this game for free,and the choice to use item mall items is up to you, it's not if they point guns at you and tell you to buy their item mall items..the point is who are the big spenders on item mall items besides ccfers? hmmmm?

legit players buying gt and monkey so they can try to keep up with bots.

Lol? You think sro is free to play?

Its almost impossible to grind without monkey, GT, etc. Thats besides all the res scrolls, gender switch tools and maybe you want a character switch. Trust me, Joymax makes some pretty good money.

they really aren't needed that much.

Better numbers would be, %. SRO has banned what % of players compared to WoW, comparing direct numbers is ridiculous because of the sheer number of people that play wow compared to sro.

Comparing WoW with SRO is like comparing my Huffy with Ryoko's. F2P will never catch up to the bar Blizzard set because it keeps rising. Item malls are nice but P2P is guaranteed income. Imagine if we all payed for silk.

I can say that when I started playing SRO I thought that I will never pay for this game (really difficult to connect, constantly DC later, the ???? problem, full of bots on many zones). Yesterday I bought for first time the GT because now all this problem has at least disminuish a lot, maybe not completly but I think that is clear that Joymax is working on this game.

About if monkey/rabbit/squirrel is needed I should say that they arent really necesary, but now that I have a rabbit I can see that save me a lot of time (Im a bow user).
