Cherrio, if you want the game to be fun I suggest throwing on a job suit, telling your buddies to come with and getting killed/killing people far away from the safe zone. The most important part is: Play when you feel like playing
The following is a rant on the state of Silk Road Online
The reason you're not having fun is because you're not really playing "silkroad", you're playing "grind road" where all you do is grind for an unspecified amount of time for no reason other than to occasionally bash someone in cape pvp then be bashed back. No risk no gains, pointless monotonous, and stupid. Heres how SRO is nowadays:
Players grind or bot up to 40 then switch from trader to hunter/thief. Then this player never actually Jobs and if they do "job" it's gate pvp. They might as well throw on a cape and spare them self the exp loss.
Here are some new names for SRO:
"CBO" - Cape Battles Online
"BFSO" - Botting for Suns Online
"GFSO" - Grinding for Suns Online
"MGWNRRO" - Monotonous Grind with no real rewards Online.
Another depiction of SRO:
A level 80 Hunter stands outside the gate waiting for some lvl 2x thieves to leave, then a lvl 90 Thief comes and kills the Hunter, then the lvl 2x thieves leave town but they're just standing outside the safe zone, then a lvl 8x rogue hunter kills the 90 thief and the noob thieves run inside town and all the traders/hunters that were in the safe zone run out of it. This goes on until both sides get bored and leave. A staring contest of epic proportions.
Cape PvP, it's only enjoyable when you challenge someone to a dual (of near equal lvl) and go far from the safe zone so asshats won't interrupt.
Job Pvp, it's pointless to pvp outside a gate in SRO (as I said) you might as well throw on a cape and spare yourself the Exp loss.
People: Throw on a bloody Job suit, leave the bloody safe zone, and do more than 1 bloody star.

Q&A
Q: IF tHe Gameee sucks s0 mu[h why do yUo stil PLaY DuR!!11
A:Because I enjoy jobbing. It's very exciting when you find a multi-star trader near your lvl and know that at any moment a hunter can come up and kill you OR that trader can come back with friends. The game is called SRO, and trust me; the road is truly exhilarating.
