Im quitting. The game is getting way too elitist for people who pub b/c their guild died and don’t feel like applying for a new guild. If you didn’t whale/grind/rmt to have the best engravings with the best stats, good luck finding a solid group. Takes too much time wipe after wipe only to disband making the game already discouraging with the long queues. It was fun while it lasted but doing the same shit over and over each day & week is burning me out. Maybe I need a break but once i take a break I usually don’t come back.
i feel the same way. the only thing that keep me goin back is my 1.3k hrs of playtime. but yeah. been considering quitting even though i love the game. all of my friends already quit because of bots. its just that i feel like AGS doesnt give a damn. well what can we do? Business is business. im 100% sure that they doesnt care how player feels as long as they earning $$$…
So u agree that ppl, progress that way? illegitimatelly? I´m doing the things on my way, so if i want to progress faster should i buy gold from bots? just because i want to have a +20 items? besides de fact other servers (fortunatelly regulus isnt) have long queues because the botters? i´m not frustrated for my ilvl or because others are higher than me i know must of the legit high lvls played before and had a lot of knowledge i´ve made tons of mistakes and i´ve learned a lot and its ok but doing the things legit.
If I look at my Discord channels and Guild, its save to say the Exodus of legit players has already startet. People only do a few dailes and then log off to play other games. All of them are sick of the RMT Cheaters, which no legit player can compete anymore. Non of them really has an issue anymore to completly quit the game.
Vyakiss incl. the Stronghold Buff could delay it for a while, but these geniuses decided to delay or remove it.
To really rescue this game you need to perma ban everyone who was ever involed in RMT, even if they only bought 1 single Gold coin 4 months ago. Do you really belive they will do that?
They will continue to drop something shiny to keep you engaged for a while. Next is a boss, then it’ll be a class, then it’ll be an event. If you’re not happy enough to disregard the problems, you’ll never be happy with the game. They aren’t going to fix the problems. Take a “vacation” and if they do the improbable, take another look at it later
thnx tell me something are u happy with all the problems bots and other things? the problem with the “vacation” is when i comeback the endgame will be too far away and happened to me with a new char u cant find ppl to play cuz everybody is on t2 at least but i´ll consider that vacations really seriously thnx
Oh me? I play Diablo immortal now. They’d have to do some drastic stuff to bring me back to lost ark at this point.
Yes, being behind and having no way to catch up besides spending is a problem, and it will be for all the the reaper, summoner, etc. players too when they finally get their class. They’d have to offer a catch-up if you took a break and wanted to come back.
I took a vacation about a month ago and have only seen more reasons to stay away as time goes on.
I was a hardcore everyday player and I’ve gotten pretty lucky honing my weapon all the way to +21 with only a few minor legitimate purchases in game and I still feel like I’m so far behind all the RMTers. Everything i do in game to farm for gold feels pointless when people are sitting on 6-8 figures of gold they bought from gold sellers and aren’t being punished. I wake up early every morning and I’m always disgusted seeing all the servers busy knowing for a fact they’re flooded with bots. Any time i travel to places around arkesia and the only life i see are bots, it makes the experience feel like shit. With all the horrendous anti-player decisions they’ve made, empty and broken promises with release cadences, crappy CS, communication that’s never improved despite what they claim, today I’ve decided for the first time to put the game down. I won’t touch it again until bots are gone, people are punished, and they give us the very fucking reasonable things we’ve been asking for in terms of content
not being frustrated with them and agreeing with them is 2 VERY DIFFERENT thing
i never said i agree, i never said thats how things should be done
but it is what it is, and I am just a player in a server with literal hundred thousands of players in it
i still find so much ways to get gold, i could generate 15k gold daily if i wanted to, a lot of ppl in my guild is generating 20k gold daily, and no this is not an exaggeration
normally i only generate 5-7k daily if i dont grind, and if i do i can generate up to 15-20k
the people who generate 20k gold daily only plays for 4 hrs a day
a lot of them got +20, i myself only have +19 on its way to 20.
but heres the thing, just cause other ppl have it, does not mean i need to have it too
unless i cant find ways to grind gold then what they do doesnt really affect me
unless, of course, you are unable to think beyond bots bots bots bots bots bots bots bots rmt rmt rmt rmt rmt rmt “lets sound this because its unabling me to get golds”
then thats totally on you dude
theres nothing to be frustrated about, unless of course, youre not really playing the game, you only think youre playing the game cause you spent a lot of time, but inefficiently, sad truth
Good decision. I stepped away this past weekend after seeing my server on NA East, Kharmine, very low pop for NA East standards read busy when I logged in. Never happened. Queues are coming for every region and RMTers run free. I would have very little problems waiting in a queue if I knew it was to play on a server full of real and legitmate players, but we know that’s far from the case. If they can get the bots down to 40% or less of the total player population and actually punish RMT’ers properly, then I’ll come back.
This is pretty sad that your server is known to be low pop but the very majority of rmt whales are attracting all these bots to mine more gold on the server. Lost Ark has basically become diablo immortal except the majority of player’s money is going to botters instead of Amazon/Smilegate
