Mostly curious as to how many of you bot, run trains and buy adena, and I'm curious to know who still plays Lineage II for fun and has never bought any amount of adena or used a program to automate gameplay.
One thing for sure is bragging about bot trains isn't cool, buying adena ain't either, nor is being legit. So please, you aren't "cool" if you do either of the things listed above so don't brag about none of it, just let me know how you play.
I am actually really interested on who has kept it clean that plays CURRENTLY.
I will start off first, and no bragging here.. but the first year to 2 I was very poor and always relied on friends for help, since then I have been self-reliant. I never used zoon hacks, radar, never bought adena and never botted any of my toons, I only play an hour a day or less on weekdays now, but I still crawl my way up slowly. I do not have any boss jewels though am fully geared on my Ghost Hunter/Destroyer and Fortune Seeker.
I ain't a "war" PvP'er anymore, I do love sieges and territory wars, being out-geared don't bother me, I have fun still and thats all I am here for is fun.
<--- Proudly legit
, struggling my way up by switching between main, spoiler and crafter to complement the game and the problem with adena overall. I can say that I am proud that I crafted every single armor and weapon my toons use in this game and that is why you are not going to see me around with nice shinny S grade weapon.
i ebayed few mils when i started and slowly grew some fortune.later i spent a whole summer train killing bots(seriously 3 months non stop) and i made huge money from the drops.
i had blood tornado without sa till 69 and b grade armor till 67.when i turned 76 cerberus quit and gave me everything.later he returned took everything and fraoula gave me new splinters and sa.
i reached 79 22% legit.when i resubed pr i was legit till 74 i think.i mean i was in bot grp but i used nostromo to assist.later i used walker.
by the end last summer i was too bored of the game.i had accomplished everything i wanted.my enemies knew me and my skills very well,a thing i fought a lot for.only stupid dumbfucks would say anything about this.
then i set (with my bro)a bot grp pling and selling adena to sites,special thanks to CaNedra that helped me immensly,and made some thousands euros.i spent em at gym,trips with gf,ps3,games and my bro mostly at clothes.
i was at gym when gm logged in.i had forgoten my cell phone in the car and couldnt tell giak my info to save me,since he called me.my lack of trust and forgetfullness(sp) to share my acc killed me.and greed.
of course ill bot again till i get banned but i got no time now.
i dont really give a fuck about anything thats why i opened my cards.its fucking gracia final.5 years of l2 existence.worrying and flaming and w/e about bot and shit is just too fucking old.and pointless.get over it or change game.dont be like the co1 that i beat 1vs3 and started the ebayer botter qhper bla bla card.if you suck just stfu and improve your skills.
I played from Beta till end of C3 with no botting, I bought couple mil adena back in Prelude made most of my money with Tukker. We both had spoilers and would farm material/recs out the butt. We also raided lowbi bosses to get Half Plate Tempers and Top D weapon parts since back then you couldn't but them in shops. Me and Tukker shared our accounts and we still trust each other till this day never stolen from him and he has never from me.
Once I got back from Deployment *gone from C4 Launch till Mid way through* I bought adena because I gave everything I had to Kyran when I left as he promised to gear me up when I got back and didn't. Started botting around C5 by then Orc was 75 and subbed. Everyone was doing it in Mercs including Deusx. Me/Duesx/xFactorx would trio 2 cata rooms all at the PC chillin in vent chatting was fun as hell.
Started at the end of C1 ( 9 of December 2004 ). E-bayed 3mil for my D grade gear back then, so i can actually lvl fast. My first toon was a pp named "PriestOfHate" and I was in 0g. 3 months later ( I was playing a private server in the meanwhile) I created my last legit toon named as PoRnSt4r, didnt e-bay for that toon since I had the gear for my previous toon. Played a month then quitted till C3.
At C3 I started playing again with ImmortalsS (hardly 10 of them are still playing in ImmoS) and played legit till Interlude ( Did few e-bays in the meanwhile to make more money, but I kinda sucked back then.. 14/15 fail on DC Helmet :P, my last e-bay was 100m at 62 lvl to craft my last-DC helmet, then p00t got dusk, and made nice amount of money back then). At the time I was 77 MM / 64 th. Then the walker virus got into me, and started botting a bit my sub ( not afk, I was just sitting on PC and watching it running) got my noble with real Bobba. The toon closed for ever on Bartz before a year (was 79/77/52). And also a note.. my main was never being botted, cause I was too noob to bot a MM, just subs.
Then, quitted for the summer, started again from 0 (thanks bisy/canedra/morro for their help) and made money/money and high lvl toons. What I'm doing now most of u know, dont like to talk about it.
That's kinda "my history" and a chance to tell that noone is pure legit, cause in this game, you cant achieve anything if you arent. Its simple and understandable from most of the people I guess, since grinding is the worst thing in this game..

Well I was always legit and a legit crusader for most of my l2 career. Cute was my second toon and was made with one goal in mind: getting gear. It sort of worked but the person that first helped me out was actually a girl, guess it was a precursor to my future in L2 >.> ... Anyways I was legit up to 79 / 79 on my sts and card (first legit sts on devianne, big fucking deal...). I got sick of hitting my head against the legit wall and said fuck it.
dang,,, y'all got me all worried now... lol. It seems 79 seems to be like the wall that each one face and start botting from that point on.
I need 8% to hit 79 on my main. All the gears and weapons I have were crafted by me farming the mats and thanks God never failed (at least, I've pm'ed MrSellit to go to craft mode and he never failed a craft for me) . Unfortunately, all the weapons I had blew up when going to +3 to +4. I've have not try to oe A nor S grade weapons because if they blew up, it will take me 2-3 months at least to farm the mats and the adena I need to craft another one.
Don't take me wrong, I've thought seriously about botting, specially when you work full time and you are a part time student and now that I am getting close to 79, I am affraid to join the "dark side" .... lol.... I logging mostly at nite and play 3-4 hours before going back to study. I guess the vitality feature helps me a lot and makes up for those days I am not in game.
I asked some people about walker and all crap that but in the end I always chicken out. I do still enjoy the game but it got monotonous at 78 and I heard 79 will really suxxx. I hope I stay away from the dark side... just time will tell I guess..
I also playing since C1 but i started on private server cuz of money - my parrents was never rich and in bulgaria 15 euros r not little for not working person. Never stoped to play L2 , ye on private low rate servers but still. Now when i work and have money for time cards / also buyed pc wich can run l2 good not like before under 10 fps lol / i moved on retail server. Playing since 2 months , atm little brake cuz of real world shits but planing to return asap. Havent byed no 1 adena and never had any kind of hack on my pc. Hate thouse things. Planing to play legit forever, nevermind how long will take me to make proper lvl and gear. I`m so sad to see that most of ppls in retail boting, and they dont hide it, and NCsoft dont do nothink against that... Just a bit disapointed, and seems this not gona change cuz more and more ppls start boting.
Anyone who remembers me and my clan (Truth) remembers that we were 100% legit. That's why at level 75 I was still running around in Doom Light! lol But hey, that was my choice to play that way . . . and it was good times being the underdog and earning everything we had.
Time to start the good old fight about who's legit and who isn't, right?
you ebay!
no YOU ebay!
well, you ebay MORE!
your mom!
your mom's botgroup has a prophet as DD!
come on, help me out people!

i dont think sitting in a craft shop 90% of my ingame existence is a shining example of legitness. i just imagine where i would be if i had xp'd instead
