the shittiest part of reborn is not their files but how admins handled their friends who abused those bugs, ignoring basic rules like "bug abuse results to permanent ban" for people who abused bugs for months. or people blatantly RMTing but admins were like "ah some of their friends lavishly offered them for free 4 billions worth of gear" only for them to go to the enemy clan 10 days later the guys are a complete joke
not to mention some free valakas necklaces where its skills and stats were completely broken and it was being farmed with like 4-5 parties. but how would you know? you didnt even play
and about the bars, who do you think we are here? we are l2 careermen trying not to be recognized by fanboys and keep it quiet to do our side business
about the topic itself, botting is a double edged sword. as much as i hate it, it really kept the game alive all these years. the game itself is made in a way which needs enormous amounts of free time to be competitive. so botting kinda help keep the community alive in a way. now, for those who are using software for pvp, i feel sorry for them cause if they need assistance in a game with such a low skill ceiling, something is very wrong with them
