My experience so far...
I know for sure some people are botting, i see them humping trees, etc. Haven't tried or tested any bots. As far as someone saying the legits of sro are wanting to play. That's fine, i'm handgrinding myself. But handgrinding for me is only fun when everyone has to hand play, lol. If i see a few dozen people botting then it sort of makes me want to bot too.
Guild question... how do people afford? Well there are a few minor glitches that allow you to collect gold. Me and my friend have around 200k or so. Not sure about this but i heard a few rumors too, that GM's are helping certain turks who spend lots on iSRO...
Too lazy to see if i already posted this but. I have a glitch where i can't use the curst heart quest. I get curst hearts and potions but it won't allow me to reset...
