First of all, I wanna say that their image verification is CRAP, it doesn't work, since there are programs to go through it (by writing the good letters in). And yeah these programs were up LONG time before this update came up.
So don't say image verification made something great, it's just a way to annoy people.
Now just try to see it like this :
They made an update ONLY for silk buyers (you cannot deny it).
In this update, there are new pets (totally useless).
There is a new ticket, which allows to log in at the first try ...??? Why the hell did they implement this ? They want their servers to be always crowded ? (if they arent already, they will be more crowded xD if this is still possible) People will be kicked only because someone who has paid wants to go in ?
Their quest thingy is crappy, 2500SP for 500 items ? Lemme laugh loud
And stop talking about what they WILL do, just watch what they HAD done : first update for a long time, and it's only for payers benefits ... first update for a long time, and it's such a crappy update that will prolly kick out normal players ...
Yeah the only thing that will happen is that they will get more money ... for what ? I let you imagine, maybe new servers ? ROFLMAO It will take more time for a ban then.
Btw just something about botters : they ban 1k ppl every month in 2 servers right ? Then why don't you start botting after the ban ? You will not have to worry for like 8 months
That's the way to go JM, increase the number of buyers, increase the number of botters, and everyone will be happy.
Really I cannot believe they did such an update, couldn't they, I dunno, make some arenas ? Couldnt they increase the max lvl of players ? Couldnt they implement some decorations for our characters ?
NO, they found it better to find a better way to earn money..
And if you dont think like that ... Oh well, go back to play, be kicked every second because you do not pay for the game, see the number of botters increase, see this game dieing ...
And go see how other games work : go see Rappelz, with their updates BOTH in item shop and in the world, with at least one GM always on (yes they have some kind of live chat ...). Go see other games, and see how they work, before finding this update is a good one.
BTW, I quitted sro already.
