I haven't been able to play silkroad in a long while... I'm just curious... is there still the huge bot problem that there was a couple years ago? Or has this so called "war against bots" been a success?

Success?? HELL NO!!! lol, the only people who play this game are bots. you can never get on any server because its full with like 100k bots. its all the gold sellers N crap, If Sro made it so you could buy gold with silk, I think they could maybe win the bot problem, but untill then your gonna have to wait like 3 days to get on, or try to get on at like 2 in the morning.
