Game behaviors of players

There were several gaming behaviors that I have noticed from players.

I found that the people who want to be the most powerful, they will bot and buy gpoints, buy vis, and have more than one account and do everything they can to become the most powerful.

Another observation is what I have exhibited myself. I was afraid of buying godly equips, or even most high level market manager items, because what if they are dupes or what if they came from botters, then if I bought them, I would be supporting the botters and dupers who I am against.

I also didn't want to sell my premium items to other players because what if they got their vis via botting or they bought it from granadomart, or they got their vis through duping, then I would be giving them more reason to bot more and to buy more from garandomart and to dupe more.

I didn't want to sell my premium items but I sold them anyway. I had thought, what if these buyers aren't botters or dupers, so maybe it's ok if I sell them my cash shop items.

I also thought, what if I spent my real cash in this game? Same as the reason above, I don't want to spend my money to buy mystery powders and sell it gamers, because I think these players who can afford my mystery powders got their vis through duping, buying from seagamergold or through botting.

I can see myself spending real money to buy combat manuals, but then, the other players are getting higher than me because they are botting, and the management didn't even stop them, so it's really hard for me to support the company.

Well, there is now legal botting. It's the pets and then you AFK. The pets are cute though.

Also, I'd like to go back to buying godly weapons. If I buy their item, then it means I am an accomplice to real money trade because that seller will sell the vis he got from me for real cash.

And I also don't want to buy experts and veterans, because what if that expert or veteran was made through botting? And if I buy the character card, the seller will then again sell his vis for real cash. I am an accomplice to real money trade again if that happens.

There's an argument that through botters, there are many items being sold in Market Manager, thus driving prices down and getting the players progress through the game. I think that's true, because I tried myself to get the rare books of magic and those are so few. So that's one benefits of the bots. Well, if that's the case, I feel like I should have just been bad and just botted. It's so frustrating. The rules says you can't bot. But I might as well bot because the management seems to see botting as actually benefiting the progress of gamers going to expert.

Heck, even the underground prison has fantastic music that GE is known for. I thought prison was supposed to be punishment.
