GFClocked: New year. Same old problems. Nothing ever significant ever gets changed in lost ark. I've given up, it's never gonna get fixed.

Cauttyh: yo that dude talking about bare feet brought up a really good point just saying

C0mpleXRQD: Bots, Gatekeep & RMT. LOST ARKS PILLARS

Agony-co4pd: NA East Luterra has 27 channels and they are all red bar because of the amount of bots.

Kufojohn: happy new year everyone

ulla356: RMT is such a big problem. it kills the game in so many different levels , needs to be fixed.

itsandrewtheboggie: hi john, i can state one fact about bussing. note that im not against bus, i sometime do it and a lot of my friend are also doing it.

but i can assure you one thing about bussing is, that the people that buying the bus is the RMT people with a LOT LOT of account, and rather than they ran their rat character is better to buy a bus.

im from a country that have a lot of gold seller. so i know how it works cause our economy is like way lower than in US, so yes, selling gold is actually make a living out here. im talking WAY WAY WAY LOWER than US.

now the thing is, busing price is lower than the actual raid itself. so lets say thaemine hard bus is 13k, but the raid itself gave you 20k, so you make 7k profit on EACH character, remember im talking LOT LOT character here, they might have 50 thae/echihd raid on their hand PER PERSON.

say 1 man got 20 character doing thaemine alone it will gave them 140k, just by sitting in a bus, note that we have 3 raid/character. multiple it by 3 times/character for bus, and then u multiple it by how many people are doing this kind of drive, cause atleast HUNDREDS of them are doing it this way

dreadedronin24: Well apparently people only get a one month ban for getting caught RMT’ing for the third time so might at well start if they AGS doesn’t give a fuck about punishing it

elyssair: Oh there's definitely GM tools ... Shoutout to HardcoreHenry "RESTART IMMANENT" "Imminent lol" "Love you all" iykyk

TyroneBigguns-mk3og: If they want to ban RMT they first need to admit that we did not have the time to progress in game to earn gold and hone properly. Our release cadence was almost twice as fast as KR had that means we had nearly half the time to accumulate gold and mats but we were never compensated properly. For those with multiple characters on a roster what good does 10 boxes of leapstones do that gives 5 taps.

They needed to either increase the the drop rate of gold and all materials by the appropriate amount or nerf costs of everything by the appropriate amount. This means everything that costs gold and materials. But that the time has passed they should just look at how much gold you earned during that time and just give us double it.

Until they fix the game they need to understand for some people RMT is necessary to keep up. YES I RMT through the cash shop there is no diff. CASH SHOP G2G its all RMT.

TenuousDragon: Before my guild dispursed we spent some time making a offer to run a anti-bot force it woulda been amazing for the whole community,,,,back when there was one they ignored us banned 2 of my guildy's outta the forums deleted our posts I even found out where the bots came from they ignored that too....we got our answer kick rocks DGAF

yeagerist5361: 1. Make some multi account preventions system (2FA is good enough)

2. Figure out where bots get their gold ( it's pretty much chaos una raids) make it all bound gold, for raids you can ban all buss drivers who buss bots, and buss advertisements as well for regular players( it's so simple just remove all text from titles and make more selectable options like reclear or prog/ lf sup or DPS/ clearing g1-3 that's it) there is absolutely no need for random text in partyfinder.

3. Do a huge bot ban wave after the changes above

4. Put all RMT players that you can get into negative value for all gold they got

5. Adjust all market prices via in game cash shop deals to burn all excess gold from people and also pump mats into the economy

Only when they do this 5 easy steps it will be fixed(not fully but a huge portion of it), but they will never do it so enjoy your time playing while you can

Korzyon: Not a loa specific problem. In every mmo possible there are gold resellers, some use bots some dont.

Other mmos can somehow co exist with those type of activites because of how they work. You play the game and be good at it, you progress depending on how much time you put in on sessions, simple as.

If you think straight up banning everyone suspicious and making more bound gold a thing with ridiculous payouts for solo raid, will fix the issues you are all very delusional. No, what needs to change is the stupid amount of vertical progression tied to the game and that mentality of grinding for a 0.1% increase in power all of that to get gatekept on current content and all the bullshit rng surrounding the game(acessories,stones, elixirs..). I guarantee you if honing and what not was available through silver or any big farmeable currency and mats farmeable and accessories/stones and every stupid rng system have some soft pity (transc is a good example ) the gold prices would absolutely crash and the bot activity reduced heavily.

But ofc you wont, you all love that "korean mmo" aspect of the game. But then you gotta accept what comes with it, people will always want to be ahead of the curve and you and will do anything to achieve that.

Ryvaen: Honestly been playing lost ark in NA since release off and on. I have never seen or heard about you but I like your content. Glad my yt finally showed me you lmao.

unluckyman214: My mans spent more than 20K USD and does not consider himself a whale aint no way lmao

ryanc9876: It's almost like they don't want to get rid of bots and RMTers. I don't get why they wouldn't want to, but their lax stance on it always has been strange from day 1. They're way too lenient, even if they're doing a tiny bit more now, it's not enough. I hear reports of players getting banned many times for RMT and yet they still can play. So clearly, what they're doing is ineffective.

CCCPWarHammer: im totally a spender on outfits over honing LOL each of my chars has 8 sets of outfits LOLOL guilty as charged

LordDeSeis: AGS should also look into streamers who blatantly use or display DPS meters on their screens. I thought using third-party programs like DPS meters was prohibited, yet some streamers still display them during their streams.

TheSoundOfReee: bots cant print gold... its alt account that print gold.. bots just redistribute gold... where does bots get gold from ???

Edit: embers, but thats an easy fix.

GabriezSantos: I think the alt rosters generate much more gold to the inflation than bots nowadays... Ignite server was crazy for alt rosters... I believe I know more people who have alt rats from Ignite than those who doesn't nowadays xD

fluquor: IM EXPOSED ON STREAM AND YOUTUBE ITS OVER FOR ME

dvaplayer7068: RMT P2P is not bad as P2bot

omg1876: I love buying up cheap mats in AH rn to resell later when new updates hit. It's been helping a lot as f2p.

ltsArlong: to combat RMT they should work on giving players a better alternative. The packs in the shop suck ass. Compared to gacha games or other MMO's you dont really feel incentivized to spend money. Even the $100 bundles they have up right now. You get more RC, but what am I going to spend it on? The packs suck!

Tyrantt03: I pay for buses because i get stuff done that i couldnt before like transcendence and mats to get better gear. I cant join regular groups because i die once and the whole grp quits and a few people call you out and or talk trash. I watch vids but i learn by doing. Cant even get into Behemoth raid.

GodHexe: downloaded because the game looked fun,

immediately uninstalled because i saw hundreds of bots and like 10 actual players

Course6Beaver: Who is Saturn and why do we care if he RMT’s? I assume he’s some small streamer? Also, why would Saturn care if he gets exposed for RMT? Cuz it’s gonna end his lucrative Lost Ark streaming career? It’s not like a big Lost Ark streamer like JohnPaul here got caught for RMT

Edit: oh nm lol. He’s actually second behind JohnPaul for Lost Ark viewers at like 220’ish right now. HH.
