Honestly i am tired about this children system basing about “ah no, you should ask steam” “We are unable to assis you for lost ark” etc. It’s useless even for bots that now created berserks than Sorcer characters

I think it is somewhat useful as it increases cost per each new bot account.
How?
Its literally a pay to win option, thats all.
It only enables you to send items via mial to other characters. Why would bots need it?
I dont have it, and thats the only thing i cant because i dont have it.
I think it prevents all types of trade between players, so bots can’t send gold or earn additional gold by selling stuff.
Well it doesnt, seem i still use marketplace and auction house without a problem, and so can they.
Its literally only hurting those f2p who cant even pay 5$ in game (or dont want to as they keep seeing people do it and not get trusted anyway).
It must make sense in one aspect not mentioned here thus far, but it sure as hell doesnt prevent bots
I understand the distaste for it but the Trusted System has been highly effective, especially since its last update. It creates a gate for new bot accounts (and for bots which are designed to generate profit, a monetary gate for them is very significant). We’ve seen a significant decrease in the creation of new bot accounts since its update versus the months prior.

Maybe it’s decrease doe bots increase according to players ratio (demand) and now considering not so much online means bot decreased. Overall game is still full of bots - i advice going around zones and looking around. In last week i done only rapports in Anikka and through all week i only saw bots, not even one person… But that’s just me. Maybe someday you will make a decent decision over punishing legit players and hitting bot for real.
yeah, bot farmers cant automate thousands of accounts like they used to, they got to hone past 1370, means running thru oreha or argos buses.
I think everyone with half a brain knows that AGS/STEAM are now monetizing the bots to pay small fee for being allowed to bot the game. Sadly - they are also killing the game for alot of newcomers since the those players might not be able to use the AH.
And even more sadly - the measures from AGS is not the reason new botting accounts are not being created. The reason is simply because there is not the same interest in the game as before so RMT is going downhill very fast. And the lack of interest in the game is not just other games coming out. It is also the obvious issues and uninteresting content for the next 6 months that is causing players to turn their back on Lost Ark. Gatekeeping, disconnections on top of gold income nerfs is not only forcing the bots out…

Pff, the bot could be deleted easily if they should simply pay somebody, that is all. For sure a trusted system that just stop players that paid for to obtain it’s not a good stuff to maintain in game
no, the bots caused a lot of damage to the game and ecosystem, AGS definitely dont monetize them at all, its pure fantasy.
Dude, it’s easy. Just spend some money in the game, and put other 5 in your steam account. Just wait a couple of days.
I hope you has been paid for to say this. If not then you have a big problem. I wrote that it’s useless cause it’s a system that doesn’t work for any reasons: doesn’t stop anything and you block players that pay for it. That is all.

Absolutely keep it to block bots.
HOWEVER, you are blocking us new players as well !
We meet all requirements and still 1 month now and still not trusted !!!
All support has to say “Sorry, you have to wait”
We say : “OK, How long”
support: “We don’t know need to wait for the system”
so… if it takes more than few hours its not reasonable and we’re waiting 30+ 60+ 90+ days
(from players I’ve seen commenting in forum)
There’s no excuse for that ! If you can’t make it work, take it down and find other solution for bots, or give us a SOLUTION.
just finished to writing this message going to fish because I got nothing to do and look what I see:
Bots will find ways to overcome your system, players will not… so we just quit, no new players in game because we can’t play… but new and more bots for sure

Exactly.
I advocate this game on a daily basis everywhere. I speak my mind honestly, which sometimes includes speaking what can be considered bad to most of the people. However, I do not pass moral judgements that easily, so I’m simply doing what I consider to be pure honesty.
When you say things like that this trusted status effectively blocks bot usage, it only looks like you don’t know what you’re talking about or that AGS is lying to us, because we can clearly see the bots questing, levelling up, honing, applying for lobbies and get to our level, just like we can track down the materials they’re known to sell and thus conclude what’s the situation with bots. We can’t be fooled by words when everything else says “bots”.
And that will be so in our eyes no matter what the truth is. Even if there does exist a metric we’re not aware of according to which the trusted status measure works, we do not see it and you did not name it.
The reason why I’m sorry to not have that status is because it’s impossible for me to send a couple of really important and expensive items from one of my alts to another, and even though it costs pheons, which are precious as well, I still think that it’s a huge advantage for players who do have that option. With this in mind, that is the only effect of trusted status which I, as a player, am interested in, and I know that I miss having it much more than bots/botters do, since I can clearly see them selling both the mats to us and the gold to RMT-ers with or without it.
I’m not here crying or threatening to leave. I’m leaving my honest feedback because it matters to me precisely because I love this game so much. But that’s exactly why I feel bothered and offended when things SG and AGS communicate to us, if at all existent, are obviously untrue.
sending items to and from alts is your only interest?
how did you build your chars to enter raids?
how did you buy mats from AH to speed progression?
I can’t buy acc to have build and join raids not even take a bus…
and 1 week from artist release and still can’t use the market to catch up with her properly…
i bet they won’t even give us compensation or make the event longer…
honestly past month i’ve been posting non-stop encountering scripted messages
sometimes i feel like im posting and bots answering
I don’t see what is so surprising you there. Is there something else Trusted status gives which Im not aware of?
I’ve played this game since the release so maybe they changed it for newer players.
That could explain why its been so helpful against bots, because from my perspective, it gives nothing to a player except a badge and the privilege to send items via mail
The problem is not the trust system, but its review. The need for an active Steam account is understandable, but the requirement to pay for this free game is a bit excessive, and the reality is that many players who have already paid for the game have been waiting for 2-3 months and the response is still to ask Steam or to keep waiting.
You know that this game is almost impossible to achieve 4x3 or 5x3 by yourself without going through the auction house, and you will not be able to upgrade ilv because of the extremely limited oreha materials and will have difficulty participating in parties because of the incomplete configuration.
Back to the bot problem, although AGS seems to have blind confidence in their restriction system, but the fact is that this only increases the gold bot studio some costs, they can still earn a lot of cash through RMT (the structure of this game is so profitable RMT), in the eyes of China players and their considerable number of studios, not RMT is even a stupid thing, and AGS surprisingly still think they control the very good.
Oh, so you are forbidden from using Auction House completely without Trusted Account?
I don’t understand how the bots manage to circumvent that. Buying trusted steam accounts or simply paying 5$ to achieve it?
I certainly agree that it’s completely unacceptable to force players to pay to be able to do what most of the player-base has free from the start, just because they joined later. There is absolutely no argument in the world which could make me change my mind. If you’re trying to protect your game from bots, it doesn’t help you to chase away the players.
If there is no players, there is no game.
They must be satisfied with the existing player-base and the current situation with their revenues if they decided to sacrifice new players to protect the status quo. That’s the only thing which makes sense to me, at least until I hear a more satisfying one from them.
