You joined at 19 June and Today is July 20. It says you're lvl 56 in your signature and you got to "64" Explain to me how you got to lvl 64 in one month? Hell I grinded with a no gap with my nuker and it took me a week to get to lvl 53-54. I know no one can stand grinding 9 hours per day.

Botting is worse, because it's actually cheating. Botting is obvious.

PK2 editing is just keeping yourself entertained, and it can be your own little secret that nobody has to know. :P

Alright, i'm gonna go ahead and say this.. I know of ONE person who has been banned purely for pk2 editing. He got banned because he had the pk2 extractor opened while the game was open. Close the window after you replace your file if you're gonna risk it guys. =/

Just saying, that's how people do get banned although 99% of the time there's another reason for the ban. Bad language, pissed off someone who works for JM. <.<

pk2 editing makes you see the difference between 1st tier 8th degree and 3rd tier. Since i am in love with jobwars/pvp, thats a crime and worse then botting.

botting isn't wrong, because the majority of silkroad player does it.

and the fact that iSRO doesn't even try to enforce and protect sro from botting programs like isrobot and tbot shows how little they care about players botting. (while it is true goldbots get banned, but majority of player bots are untouched, true they did update isro with a patch on july19-20, 24hrs later, new bot comes out and we are back to normal)

please don't try and tell me you don't bot, i know there are many (i won't name them) reputation whores on this forum, but don't bullshit me. If you are over 6x u most likely bot.

If sby thinks bot is wrong but pk2 moding isnt then he isn't better than the bots.
you midify files which are copyrighted which is illegal, you gain advantage over other users by this act + you can get stuff for free which is sold for silk = stealing

Did you really have to make a poll for this? o_0

pk2 editing is just as bad, but more so damaging to Joymax rather than to the customers. You're altering their product without their consent. Not to mention it is part of the tos that we all agree to adhere to <.<

Having said that, I'm risking my account to having the chat filter removed. I'm doing it on principle.

Actually its "Evil" not "problems" And it comes from the old saying, "Love of money is the root of all evil"

But then again, "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right; greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms, greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge — has marked the upward surge of mankind.."

-Daily Bot bans
-Make SoX items acquirable only with Honor Points

The tos encompasses user agreed operation policy. This policy is amendable by JM at any time as they see fit. As part of the operation policy, JM has to notify users what can or cannot be done (and these include official notices). As you know recently JM has made changes to the client to prevent unintended use of hacked clients. Everybody has to run an unaltered normal client (client here is not just referring to sro_client.exe just so you know) or risked getting account blocked, even if the changes you made were only client side.

PK2 editing is illegal... JoyMax's TOS is well known for being as outdated as a browser game, but the client is the entire file downloaded and we all know that altering the client is illegal, ergo, PK2 editing is illegal.

But geezes, half these ppl now shouting about the injustices of PK2 editing were on the bandwagon before JM came out and said it was illegal. You guys are like sheep, going with the herd. THe herd now believes PK2 editing to be illegal and here you are, shouting in a thread. I can point out a few threads where I argued about it being illegal before and I bet there are some of you who posted in THIS thread who argued for it NOT being illegal in one of those others because that is what the herd believed then...

Silly Image.

Its not like it matters, you cant do it anymore. Even when you could, it didnt really hurt anyone. I mean seriously, how is being able to tell if someone is level 45 or 48 instead of 42 really a big deal. Keep things in perspective people. Do not start vilifying ppl who PK edited things because JM has finally come right out and said its against the rules. 99% of you were ok with it last week.
