Fight fire with fire… the war is over gold so do meetings, recalculate your plans and marketing but we clearly need more SOURCES and MORE gold income.
We struggle to make gold, you remove incomes, you blocked of time gate everything.
Here a good exemple: Do you know what we do at the end of the day because WE ARE BORED ? We SWAY in line in nia village, at a point we even called it REAL END GAME.
We would farm/grind but hey there’s nothing to do you blocked us everywhere. And dont talk about the useless chaos dung… i would love to farm chaos if chaos NPC prices weren’t that mush bullshit.
F2P ? Free2progress ? ok give us more gold amounts and sources!
If there’s a major issue with RMT and gold buyers, it’s probably because gold is a major issue…
I got a feeling Una tokens will be next to get nerfed. Everything they do to slow down bots just harms normal players and the bots keep rolling along without a care.
Probably going to go this route with their next fix.
The recent infinite chaos dungeon vendor change made more bots turn to una token weekly gold as there go to gold farm method.
Botter makes a new account using an automated process, the new character bots their way to level 50. Two power passes are given out, these are used on two new berserker bots.
Now botter has 3 characters farming chaos dungeons to complete their weekly unas quests for gold. All of this is automated and done thousands of time every minute.
One botter could easily have 200+ plus new accounts being created every few minutes. Which is why this weekend, player numbers increased to their highest point since the first month of release.
In our version, they have introduced a lot of ‘catchup’ mechanics and events to help players raise their gear score through many free honing materials, but guess what they have not introduced? Gold… in fact they removed some gold sources to combat bots.
In the T1, T2, and even early T3, this is fine but eventually players hit the stage where the gold sink becomes real and while they have tons of honing mats, they don’t have the gold to continue honing. And with the introduction of relic accessories and stuff, they don’t have gold to even buy one decent accessory.
A lot of my friends focused on vertical progression through free mats instead of slowing down to make alts, do collectibles/adventure to strengthen their roster and have alts farm sellable stuff and do abyss for more gold income. They just have one character and try to push it as high as they can so they can run Argos as soon as it release or valtan and now vykas. Now, they are poor. It’s a constant struggle for them to get gold. Guess what they have to do now? rmt… just to make sure they are catching up to their friends for the FOMO.
The botters really took advantage of our situation. Forced Amazon to remove gold incomes, which hurt players more than bots. When players are gold starved, they resort to RMT.
Most players I know simply have not invested enough in their roster to keep up with the gold sink in later game. It’s always about just raising gear score on one character.
i can relate… since i made numerous alt on another game, i promise myself i would focus on 1 main in lost ark… until a month ago… i dropped the flag and start (me too) farming on alts… but i’m not always motivated to run my alts. I would prefer to grind/farm on my mind instead but since there’s nothing to do (PS. i’m more of a Kratos than a Indiana Jones… i prefer to grind instead of roaming the maps…)
