Out of respect for the thread starter this will be my last post on this here.

Point two about taking up good training spots i think is ridiculous. Theres wide areas of monsters and ive never had to compete with ANYONE (even regular players) for hunting grounds. Thats something i like about SRO.
I don't know what server you are on. Maybe it is different there. But on Xian it can be quite problematic. At low lvls the homeland in donwang was at least until recently overrun with gold bots. Same for the chakji at jangan ferries. The bots were shoulder to shoulder and even ksing themselves. Let alone the isolated players that put up with it. When I trained at the yeti all the good spots were taken by bots from chinatown, duck_club, bear_club, and many other bot guilds. If I actually wanted an area all to myself I had to go all the way out to BFE and hang with the devil yeti which were still semi crowded with bots.
Rippa wrote:Severely kissing active players is also BS. How do i know ? I used to bot but got bored and started over playing regularly. The bots are set up to automatically move to next mob if someone else even touches it first. Thats a fact, so point two is invalid.
If you botted, knew people that botted, or even read up on botters and their programs you know quite well that is a feature that can be turned on and off. And further lightning nuke bots are prolific ksers. Regardless of that setting. Again maybe your server is better. Kudos.
Rippa wrote:Point four i think is a bit of a reach though i see where your coming from. Overall though i dont think botters have that great of a hold on the economy as u make it out to be. There arent too many bots that wont encounter problems after a few hours if you can get even that far. (to my knowledge.) So i doubt they accumulate enough to screw up the entire game. But hey, believe what u want.
YMMV but some people have a hard time keeping SRO running reliably. Just because you could not get your bot to run reliably does not mean that others have not. This is simple math. The more you grind the more gold you get. The more drops you get. The better chances you get for seal items. All that equals having more gold than would naturally be avalible to someone who played more realistic times. You get enough ppl doing that especially farming just for gold. The value of gold decreases. Do the math. Again maybe your server has been neglected by them.
Rippa wrote:Point 5 again i understand what you mean. But why do u care if they ruin their own gaming experience ? Besides what u said about the economy stuff is still pretty affordable. What they do doesnt ruin your gaming experience so dont let it get to you so much.
1. They keep me from logging on. That pisses me off and ruins my experience.
2. They take some of the best spots to train leaving me to go way outta my way or just pick at what I can get. That pisses me off and ruins my experience.
3. In the caves with a lightning nuker in some rooms is an outright crime. They are splashing everything in the room making it hard for me to get anything to myself. Often meaning I take all the hits and only get half the exp. That pisses me off and ruins my experience.
4. I can't buy much in the way of good gear. Prices keep going up. Some of it comes to luck and I have friends who don't bot that have full seal sets. But far more well know botters have such sets. I would be doing good to buy 1 cheap sos item my level atm. Let alone even a stock +5 or better. Botters have them in abundance. And there are stall characters for the bots that have and endless supply of SOS for sale. Even buying low and selling high way more than a normal person would get.
Rippa wrote:About point 6. Im not saying botting is right or wrong. I pesonally dont bot but thats just cuz i dont see the point. I actually want to play the game. If they dont earn their lvl and can kill u so what ? There are plenty of legit high lvl players who can kill you too. At the end of the day my whole point is
DONT LET WHAT SOME BOTTER IS DOING GET YOU SO MAD AND RUIN YOUR GAMING EXPERIENCE. Maybe im just layed back like that but your entitled to think what you want. I personally dont care how many botters there are. If i can get in ther server and enjoy myself let them have at it for all i care. I joymax where to come up with a way to stop all bots i wouldnt care. If botting became allowed i still wouldnt care.
Everyone's experience is always a little different. You sound laid back almost to a fault. So don't fault those who are not. Botting of all types does have an impact on the experience. Including gold bots. I only hope the measure being discussed will have some good. Till then have some understanding of those that have issue with it.
that one is safe, about the other dunno
