Tho, still it's not a big thing to just go where ever and ban some afk player botters/gold bots?

It's not as easy as it seems.

The previous massive gold-bot ban was along the lines of SRO coding being able to detect multiclient / clientless bots (log into 1000 SRO accounts with just one computer (?) ever see 6 bots working together?). I would guess they let that run for a month and compiled their ban list. That was a GUARANTEED proof of illegal activity.

So far, a similar player-bot detecting code hasn't been made or something, we don't know. The bot company also probably has ways to prevent the SRO system from detecting it to resemble normal-players that's why it's so widespread and bots don't sweat it. I really don't know.

Manually watching bots to get stuck, jump back from KS, PMing bots, making Notices on bots, etc, are NOT GUARANTEED methods of player bot detection. There are many excuses for those methods (like not paying attention, too busy grinding). Bots also don't get stuck every 5 seconds, sometimes they don't get stuck at all depending on the area so GMs might have to watch for at LEAST 15 minutes. Again, it's not indisputable proof.

The reason why players can spot bots easier and are "sure" of a player bot is because the player grinds there for hours upon hours, day after day, at any time of day and see the player there impossibly on all the time and getting stuck MULTIPLE times, etc.

Q:- Is there any plan to add an auction house system to help reduce crowded servers due to stalling players?

A. We've proposed this system and Korea is taking it into consideration. The issue really, is how much traffic does a staller use up? Not very much, actually. So is this problem big enough for us to actually consider developing an auction house? Developing an auction house means that we have to push back some other game features or developments. And stalling can be argued as an integral part of the game. These are some factors that are being considered at the moment from Korea's end, and as soon as we get the results, we will announce them in a notice on the official website.

I think that auction house is a bad idea. That would completely ruin the random good deals..

I bought a stack of dreamfoil today for 2g. Amongst all the stacks selling for 10g. Thats a hell of a deal.

Also bought some black lotus for 3g each.

Relisted two of them for 10g each. Sold the same day.

Just cuz its an AH doesnt mean there isn't good deals that pop up. There deals, resellers and ways to make money.

Its just.... a different way to do it. A way thats all in one, organized spot.

If Mary is so confident that "most botters don't buy silk" that must mean they have a pretty good idea of just who the botters really are....

Why no bans....

well... hmm I don't really see the point in blacking out her last name because she doesn't exactly keep it secret from the SRO community.... I am very satisfied at the answers of this interview, and I am incredibly impressed with the professional way in which morningdew / Mary handles her job. 5 stars.

awesome job

any chance you or srf can do this for example each month as somekind of feedback towards her/Joymax. i am pretty sure if one person can/wants to do it each time you will get more answers and its good for both sides (the community and Joymax)

There are tons of things we can ask/suggest and this could be an opportunity.

This can be a reliable source for Joymax if you check player suggestions at sro.net you could go crazy by some people ideas, maybe we can change that.

some Q for MorningDew:

Q:how many report bug do Gms read per day ?
Q:why are the botter who are on ban list NOT banned ?
Q:When we send botter trough a report bug, with good proof they never get banned?
Q:Are they doing something to solve economy problems ( in game ) ?
Q:Can you say to use a % of legit/non-legit accounts ?
Q:Why are there a lot of Sosun weapon 8th deg and not a lot of Som 8th deg ?
Q:Don t you think that SoX make pvp/jobs ridiculous ?
Q:why do all awards go to botters?
Q:Do you think that botters make legit ppl leave the game and joymax earn less USD than they should earn because of it ?
Q:You are single, would you like to drink a beer with hi_babe_ (21years old ) ?

that's all :D

Have you guys noticed hat all the servers are currently open, I just was on and it took 1 try and i got off and looked and every server is only populated. I wonder if they banned some bots without saying so. Alps is empty almost. I was able to run 7 (3 star trades) back and forth to hotan. Not any thiefs on
