Silkroad Online Forums

I think so many people are misunderstood about the SRF war on bots, but we all have our own opinions and here is mine:

I enjoy playing the game with people. It saddens me to see so many people start using bots because all they care about is getting higher level... What's the rush? Anyway, back to my point.. SRF is the most popular Silkroad forum, newcomers to the game visit here to A) learn more about the game B) connect with other players and make friends with those on their server, or C) share their game experiences, artistic experiences, real life experiences and chat in general with fellow gamers. Perhaps for all those newcomers, SRF's stance against bots will influence them to feel the same way, and stop the disease from spreading.

If we continue to allow botting to be accepted, how will we ever have fun playing the game? There is no need to become hardcore and miss out on life, its just a game.. play for fun

Just my 2¢

Why am I a looser? How is it that everyone knows I am a looser, You DO not know me or anythign about me, You automaticly asume I bot, or that I support Botters. So lets see You must be a NAzi and a member of the KKK unless your black then maybe the black pantehers Oh Better Yet, Maybe You are a member of some terrorist group? Oh but wiate, I have no proof, but hell since everyoine accuses why can't I? Hmmm sound like a child? Well, just keeping it to your level.

hmm, where do i start?

oh look, those bold sections, yup.

Why dont you find one that you can cheat in? Maybe Maplestory, it seems to be fit for your intelligence.

I just pressed quote, must be a glitch... Fixed

Haha, I got a good laugh at this, but I do agree-this new forum is kind of taking it to the extremes.

lul u were the kid who wouldn't stop saying ''lol @ white people'' right?


cause u make as much sens right now.

oh boy, it was "lol @ white people crying/whining/pissing their pants etc." somethin about white people gettin screwed over by minorities? LMAO "they took our jobs!"

it'll be nice if u got ur facts straight before bendin over

knightress asked why he/she's such a loser, i said "where do i start...blah blah blah" those bolded sections are assumptions HE/SHE made about my comment.

actually Knightress is more articulated then alot of people in this thread.

You ere böt sympatheezer ja?
There se nu room 4 you ünd our lebensräum.

I wonder how much energy you wasted with this post

fine i'll play:

u'r right about one thing, silkroad is a game. just like counterstrike is a game, just like starcraft is a game. now, is silkroad less of a game cuz it isn't televised, or it doesn't have as large a fanbase? that's for u to decide, but for my post here, they're the same.

counterstrike, possibly the most competitive and well known FPS game created. the backbone of cs is aim and strategies. of course, in pub games, aim generally outweighs strategy. what happens when u substitute ur human aim for a bot? u face shot every single person 99% of the time. people flame aimbots freely and mock them and admins ban them. in league matches, cheating is a huge no no.

starcraft, another widely popular RTS game. a good player needs good memorization, good reaction time, and good decision making. basically, u start off with peon units that u'll send to gather minerals to build additional buildings/units, u build an army and kill ur opponent. every starcraft game if played using "fog of war", meaning u have no idea, unless u scout, what ur opponent is doing. now if u hack, like use maphack or moneyhack, u'll be able to see what ur opponent is doing 100% of the time, and u'll have additional resources at ur disposal. once again cheaters are looked down upon, as it takes away a majority of the skill level needed.

it's funny that u see a parallel with those two games. the two fan bases don't look kindly on cheaters.

for silkroad, a "good" player needs a good amount of time, a generous amount of ingame gold, and many high level hook ups; time takes up a huge chunk of that, cuz wit time, u can get the other two pretty easily. what happens when one player cheats the system and uses a bot? he basically receives additional time for 0 the effort.

ingame, sro is ..... up. botters run rampant everywhere u go, with pockets of legits hanging around. however, on srf, the mods and admins decided to actually give a shit about it. they decided that they won't let botters run free, they're thinking "hey, legits started srf for legits, why should botters come in here and think they are immune?". botters hiding among legits are bad, but botters pretending to be legits are worse. u guys pretend botting is normal, that's it's part of the game. here's a shocker for u: it's not. bots are 3rd party programs that give an unfair advantage to the players that want to play for fun. u said it urself, it's a game, "leave people alone and enjoy." botters should leave the servers and let legits play how the game was meant to be played. alas, JM's incompetence forces us to fend for ourselves. srf is now taking that step towards an all, 100% legit community, and if that means losing a few friends along the way, then so be it.

u haven't said outright u'r pro-bot or just indifferent, we can only speculate. however, if u truly don't care who bots, then the least u can do is stay quiet and watch the proceedings like a good observer. ur rambling-ons contribute very little to the current ideals of this forum. to the extreme, if u feel u've lost touch with srf, then by all means leave.

I gave up after the 1st page, so much crap in this topic.

Joymax has a tos and ;aws. Even if this is a game its not a matter of morals to be legit, its a matter of law. You are suppose to abide the law. Thats how societies function, silkraod being one of them.

Same with srf, it has its laws. If you dont abide by them, you get banned. Thats justified enough.

You sound like Dick Cheney. This is a forum, and he/she can post whatever he/she wants. Requesting that someone keep quiet is completely insane. There needs to be voices of reason in SRF because all these YES-men are getting out of hand. Someone needs to keep the insanity in check

He/she cannot post whatever they want. Simple as that. The admins control the rules. If tomorrow the rules state "You can no longer post the word "colon", guess what...Although, yes, requesting that someone keep quiet is silly. There need to be ground rules for reporting, perhaps the accuser, the mod responding and the accused. Everyone else should stay out of the thread, PM's should suffice.

There are voices of reason in SRF. There does need to be moderation and positive proof before an alleged botter is banned. But the mods and the admins have the final say.

I don't see this as insanity at all. I see this as a cleansing - if, by chance, someone rolls over and calls you a botter, and posts fake screenshots, I would assume you wouldn't want that person as a friend anymore, huh? In that case there should be consequences to the accuser. Makes logical sense to me.

I have yet to see any consequences - mainly because the accusation is not fully proven yet. It remains to be seen.

another of these topics. this forum is not the place for this discussion, move to GD.
