Some of you may support what I will say, a large amount may say this post is useless, but that is fine, we are all entitled to our own opinions, and this is just mine.
First I want to list a few great things about being a legit player, which for those who are making the decision in which direction to go towards, might help.
1. You are 100% chance guaranteed for not getting ban for using an exploit, by exploit I mean by a program which will auto pick up/kill and other type of functions.
2.Your playing the game, and your receiving more experience and knowledge which makes you more wise than say a bot player.
3. The legit players are on the same term as you, all is fair game as being a legit, it all depends on you if your willing to work hard and reach a desirable goal.
4. Wouldn't you rather say "I reached level 60 by working hard and having the determination" instead of saying "I used a program which got me where I am now".
5. You play the game for what it is. Which means, your in party's grinding it up with others, chatting with others. Your making more friends while your doing your "Job" *Trader,Theif, Hunter*.
6. I do not know about you guys, but being a legit player, Silkroad has became so much more appealing to me than before, the art work, and the skills and the whole package is truly amazing and sometimes we forget what we take granted for.
7."But I hate trying to collect 300 items from a quest -.-" That's something I hear a lot from people, and it is understandable, the Silkroad quest can be extreme some times. However, being legit, once again has its advantages. Thankfully more of those type of quest are not really near beginning areas nor a more upper begining area. Since your legit, you have parted with people, you are now in a legit guild, and you have a connection with many others with some at your level some higher or lower, which can help you complete it. Since your in a party, you can get it done faster then if you were to be AFK.
8. This may relate more towards number two but being legit, you get this connection with your person, you understand your weakest points and your strongest points. Not saying people who are bots do not play and do not understand this, but being legit, your more in depth of knowing these types of things. Which in the future will help you during PVP or during a party, knowing your place in a certain position is very important.
9. Being legit and knowing other legit players, a type of trust is build in a way. I would rather have my legit friend help me trade something to my other account than my bot friend any time. If your not willing to play the game for what it is, then why should you care to not stealing something from a friend, bots are greedy people...how do I know this? They bot.
10. Your one of the few people in the game who prove people wrong. You show others that people can be more than just greedy, cheating, and lazy people.
Now those are NOT my top ten reasons, its just some of the very important few reasons I believe being legit over wins being a bot. ***NOTE*** IF you wish to add your own reasons to this topic, go for it:)***
Most people do not see botting being a big deal, or being a crisis...but if you have asked a very experience gamer that has been around with online games, the title of Silkroad is "Bots".
However, there is a good side view. The severs are not as packed as they use to be. More bots are being banned, and I have seen less and less of gold bots since I been back.
So it all comes down to, do you want to take the easy road? Or the long road?
Of course 3/4s will want to take the easy road, why do something when something or someone will do it for me? This is what separates Silkroads community, those who are lazy and inpatient, to those who have determination and the will to work hard for something instead of it getting put in their lap. You can compare these "Statistics" to real life, I know this is just an Online game, and real life is totally different. But really in some ways its not, most people are lazy, most people want free things to fall in their lap, and most people want to do all the fun stuff instead of the things that need to get done.
Its people like EX. Avalon and that Union who care about the game, and care about playing for all the right reasons. Its those people who should just make you know you want to be legit because they help you, you work together as a team, and you enjoy the game throughout your SRO experience a lot better then being a bot. I know there are probably other legit guilds, I am just not familiar with them right now.
I will confess, at first I did take the easy road, I did in fact want things handed to me, thinking the game will be a lot more funnier if I had things done for me.
I was wrong.
Being legit makes me love the game 120% more then I actually thought...my top ten reasons are just my opinions, many other legit players can probably give you a hundred reasons to be legit.
Nothing good comes from botting, you might say "You can loot them!!!" get what? Brown bags? Most bots pick up the items/gold. The cons of botting over weigh the non existing pros.
So hopefully for those who will start to play Silkroad, I have helped you in a little way to make you have the right decision. Please, do not hate on what I have talked about, I am simply giving my own experience and knowledge to you, so you do not make mistakes like others and once before, like I have.
Enjoy the game for what it is, do not take the easy road, it will be worth it in the end.
So thank you for reading this! Have a nice day ^^.
