SRO Botting Compared to Other Games.

[Burningwolf]

lol its not even worth stating my point vs curve and NS

OT most free based MMOS have this problem because theirs nothing stopping them from making another account.

you can only make 30 accounts with 1 ip

I havnt seen a bot since I started playing WoW, so some years now.

I've been told there out there, but never personally seen one. If I did, theres a "?" icon on the interface, and you can fill out a petition to a GM. They usually get back to you in under half an hour unless its patch day or something really crazy.

Bots are insta-ban, if you filled a petition they'll go there and inspect the person. The entire situation is very rare, because game warden actually does its job, unlike game guard ever did.

You can fill a GM ticket for a wide variety of things; ingame bugs, stuck character, items not working properly, looting mistake, harassment, player behavior etc.

ZOMG Ryoko!

I suppose, but I had to say that since it was mentioned 'impossible' to bot in WoW.

Impossible? No. Improbable, rare, and completely unnecessary? Yes.

Leveling in WoW is so ridiculously easy.

that's why I don't udnerstand why people pay hundreds of dollars on SRO and cries for shit community and customer support, instead of going to WoW, and paying a lot less for a lot better game.

(I don't pay for games, better going on a private server , SjSro FTW . Scapegaming - Wowcrack - Korika lvl70 mage in BT-Sunwell equip BTW )

Yes, I spend way way way less money on WoW than I did on SRO, which raises an eyebrow about why they can't afford the time or people to make SRO's gaming experience better.

Sure, there are many elements of WoW that are better than SRO: not just customer service but things like SRO's "bosses" are a total joke. On the other hand, I really miss how characters worked and the PVP system that SRO had. I probably wouldnt have left SRO if it wasnt for the thousands of bots, both players and gold farmers, and lack of customer care.

WSAD makes the game awesome. Not just stand and spam skills, but running, teleporting, getting behind your character to avoid dogde and so... This is the only MMORPG , where your skill to play worth a more than your equip.

I wish there would be a normal private server, because even scapegaming is full of bugs

WoW's graphics makes me not play(Yes I gave it a chance multiple times, but I just can't stand it. It's just soo.. shitty). Which is the reason I love SRO, but hate that the developers don't take that chance along with the people/admins that are hosting the servers. Aion's graphics has won me over even if I played only 10 levels.

Cheaper it may be, but it doesn't compare in the fun factor. Silkroad doesn't have much since no one does anything, but meh. I'm waiting for Huxley's beta and hopefully that game won't turn out shitty since I've been waiting since forever.

if i want wsad ill play cs 1.6. i dont like that in a mmorpg. i dont disagree with you about the playing skill , just not my cup of tea.

That was another thing; doing jobs meant standing around crossroads for hours waiting. I suppose it does make an individual score on thief job more meaningfull but I heard 1 star is truly protected now a days (confirm / deny ?) which means thiefing all day with 0 loots

Yeah 1* under 40 you're free to trade without getting popped/robbed. That isn't the point though. The point is no one ever trades(Troy at least). Back at 90cap there was a lot of trading, but with that trading a lot of outside ressers which was annoying as hell. After a while once the thieves would still manage to rob the majority of the trade, they would stop trading. At least the time I would be jobbing.

At 100cap I haven't even heard/seen many trades. Maybe a handful and it's been a couple months now since cap went up. It's sad.. completely sad. A couple thieves against a couple hunters is considered a job war now. That's how bad it is. I'm just waiting for Huxley so I can have fun until Aion, SC2, and many PS3 games come this year. Chasing after trophies has gave more excitement than 100cap itself.

-You mean the trade update ksro just recently got? I highly doubt that would make anyone trade. Trade 1* 8 times a day without getting robbed. Meh since the transports are still 60 and it's a 1* still. Increase sell value = meh unless it's 5* and depending how much they increased it.

hi ryoko! yes 1 star poppin is done for, also you can't switch job suits on a whim you have to wait a week to changed job types lol

[Ryoko]

HEY YOU! OMG!

They should do away with 1* past a certain level and seriously, seriously up the profit on trading. The whole "standing around hoping to job war" is mind numbing. Why trade though, if you can get drops that sell for millions of gold eh

Theres plenty of ways to make jobs more appealing. Rankings by server for trading / thief / hunter kills would be compelling. Possibly character titles. Items only available to higher level jobbers. Those types of things.

Is this a joke? WoW is skillless game.
Lol, learn what Guild Wars is.

Hey wait, couldnt a higher level trader still do it to a lower level?

Oh come on, whenever you make people equipment-wise unequal - game doesnt deserve to be named as skill-required.
Make everyone equal, then skill will have big role in PvP.
That's why FPS's are the most skill required game (MMO wise). (if you kick out arcade games like tetris & examples like that.)

wtf, no. it takes a different aspect of skill to win against someone who is better geared. Anyone who plays WoW knows what a twink is. They're usually the best geared characters for their level range. Impossible to kill? Not at all. Are they a bit tougher than your average player? Definitely.

WoW pvp is more than mashing 1,2,3,4 and hoping for a lucky crit.
