New "bot" system is being implemented?

[Break]

Copied from silkroad secrets:

SRO's ingame bot - bye bye handgrinding!
The newest update in kSRO gives us again some hints about what Joymax (or WeMade? whatever) plans for the future updates of the game. We found some texts about a new "Macro" function. This new function will have the 3 categories "Auto Potion", "Auto skills" and "Auto hunting". Automatic hunting? Hell yea, an ingame bot! That's what the SRO players have been waiting for... (or not)

But let's go deeper in the details.
With the new Auto Potion, you can set HP and MP potting, but also pets can be healed and feeded automatically with it now. New HP/MP recovery tickets can be used too by this Auto-Pot.
The Auto Skill function basically uses your buffs (with automatic weapon switches) and you can set skills to attack mobs.
In Auto hunting you can set a range in that automatically mobs will be killed with the selected skills. You can also set when to return to town (like no more pots or have to repair, after 1 hour etc.), when to use zerk, what to do when you die, if you want to pick up items (no hints about an item filter yet) and if you want to use a repair hammer or repair your items in town. If it can automatically return to the leveling spot is unknown yet.

So, basically Silkroad is getting a bot system which works ingame. What are the consequences?
- Botting will (at least with this bot) become LEGAL, no more bot bans
- People will handgrind even less than before
- Bot companies will have less sales (depends on the bot features)
- Joymax/Wemade/whatever could sell this function for silk and get some profit

We have to see in which versions it will be added. I think some foreign Silkroad publishers (cSRO/vSRO/kSRO/jSRO/rSRO/thSRO/tSRO) would not want this feature to be added and keep fighting against the bots.
We can't do anything against that new feature. If it comes, Silkroad could finally turn into a game where there are no handgrinding people anymore. But still, it is the player's decision if they use it~

edit: Some people don't seem to believe this and take this as an april fools joke (greetz to the SRF and CP-G community)
But it's the reality. If you want a proof, just take a look in the newest kSRO Media.pk2 file ^_~

Anybody here that tried JD or any other game with a built in bot that can tell me how it works out for the community? I'm sure its pretty fun when u get to cap nad all, but before that do people actually do something before then? or do they simply leave out their bots and do nothing....

No they broke the rules that were in place at the time.

No they broke the rules that were in place at the time.

and the rules would be different now, so?
they should get a lawyer

They broke the rules.. they paid the price. They can't just un break them. Rules change, people's sentences don't.

I guess under the banner of "Third party program" those guys in EB were banned...This new system that joymax might be implementing wont be considered a third party program. The rules have now changed and it does seem like a double standard to not remove the bans in EB but those guys were using programs unsanctioned by joymax.


I actually wouldn't be surprised if SRF still continued to ban people for using third party programs not endorsed by joymax. I can still see some people using bot programs that are more optimized than what joymax is offering.

Maybe, but JM claims that their Bot detection is 100% foolproof.. So if that is true, maybe if they implement this, they will ban all bots.

release bot and ban anyone using it
