We are continuing to listen to player concerns and take a hard stance against bots. In this update, we’ve included a new prevention system to crack down on bots and fraudulent purchases. Players who have a Steam account in good standing and have met the small purchase requirement needed to use Steam’s social systems shouldn’t be impacted. Players who have not met this ‘Trusted’ status through Steam or Lost Ark will have reduced access to a small number of social and economic systems. Specifically, these accounts will have smaller daily Steam purchase limits than ‘Trusted’ players and be prevented from:
Initiating player-to-player trades (requests can still be received)
Basically if you have never made at least a single $5 purchase on steam your account will be restricted from those activities. You can buy anything on steam for $5 of more or even just add $5 to your steam wallet and after a 30 day period your account will be upgraded to trusted status.
Im not sure where you can check the status. But as long as you have made at least 1 $5 or greater transaction before the past 30 days your account should be trusted and unrestricted ingame.
