Carrying/bussing any mode , AGS help with escort system

[kinosira]

The only thing against ToS is when people do it with RMT or playing on someone else’s account. Grow up

@Luxark

Thanks for taking the time to reach us.

Regarding your question, there is not an official statement regarding “busses”, but as of now, there won’t be any penalty to players as long as they don’t charge real money for any in-game item/service. As as long as only in-game currency is involved, it should be fine.

I hope this information helps!

dunno why this keeps getting brought up, ags has already said that bussing/carrying is totally fine and within ToS.

you can be upset with people spamming chat and hope they get a temp chat ban, but wishing players to be punished harshly for not breaking ToS is not cool.

this isn’t the only example of a cm saying that bussing is allowed either.

@Roxx can you clarify the situation here please? People are paying amount of gold to clear content, is this legal in Lost Ark TOS?

[vvvvvb]

Can you link the post where CM is saying carrying is legal please?

[Bull]

yes making IN-GAME transactions for in game SERVICES isnt against tos

[kinosira]

Carrying people for gold, allowed or instant BAN?

Luxark’s statement is right – “metagame” type of play like that is an emergent part of MMOs and is a-ok, so long as it all takes place within the game itself and there isn’t any scamming, RMT or otherwise real-world exchange going on.

Stop being ignorant
You are just butthurt because you cant carry

how’s this? since you wanted to ask roxx herself, here’s her answer.

boost : the player get a higher rank
Carry : the player gets no rank…

[Ippotsuko]

boosting services usually also are referring specifically to rmt transactions.

such as paying someone irl money to play on your account and boost your ilvl.

bussing is helping players (usually alts) clear higher tier content and taking a small in game payment as a thankyou.

[vvvvvb]

Player get loot which unlocks higher ilvl tier

[Chadeus]

ilvl is not a competitive ranking system

[Aerlana]

mm argos/oreha hard until it manages. even if you are deadweight, you get same result.
Your “rank” does not increase, there is no rank. the ilvl is not “rank” there is no competition like in PvP where a lose reduce your rank…

[kinosira]

Your logic is basically saying hundreds of thousands people already breaking ToS. Are you gonna say your friends that carrying your alt in guardian is also against ToS? For god’s sake, it’s not against anything as long as it’s not rmt

[vvvvvb]

Thanks for the link, but as you see Roxx saying a-ok, means its fine for now. But with alot of scams happening around and the accounts here is not like KR.

People will abuse this feature and later on create new accounts easly.

But the decision up to the management, am sure in long term this will be changed

Bussing people throug argos

Hello @ghoostraider and Welcome to the Lost Ark forums. Just to be clear, you’re gonna play alongside them those Argos runs right? If this is the case then no problem. In-game currency fees for carries are completely fine here. I’m asking because the term “boosting” is often used when you use the account of a lower level player to increase their rank. This is against the Code of Conduct. (it happened to me that I used the term “boosting” on a post regarding this same topic and caused some conf…

[briathus]

I’ll never pay to do a content on this game… It’s free to play…

If SGS/AGS did not create some content design in this way, to be free, this game will die at some point.

People are just abusing of they current ilevel.

At some point, everyone will reach “there”.

[Hiroyuuki]

Yup it is MMORPG bus is allowed, pay the ticket, easy ride… Win

[kinosira]

It’s their choice to pay or not. People decide to buy mats on AH to speed up themselves, and some people dont. It’s same thing for buying carry

[vvvvvb]

I agree with you, since they want to legalize it. Why not design a way for players to open menu and insert amount of gold like escort account. If content is cleared then money goes to the player.

I think because KR didnt abuse it, it survived there. However, the situation is different here in NA/EU

[vvvvvb]

They do it through AH, why not they put claimed “ bus ticket “ on the Auction house
