I played neither during launch and see my edit above.
Except that’s just not true. A few field bosses and one barricade does not equate to “many activities”. The majority of Lost Ark’s content opens/begins at Level 50, that is a simple fact of the game because that it is how the game was designed.
It has it moments but it isn’t nearly as bad as Lost Ark’s constant spam.
For the most part FFXIV is probably the one MMO that is combatting against RMT/bots correctly as they post near weekly updates about said actions and have active GMs. They also have had more time and directed real resources to develop the tools needed.
Its slows them down and in the end is meaningless. People here say level 30 takes 5 hours. Spammers are going to spend the time so it combats nothing and causes a minor slow down at best. In the meantime it does cause lower level players issues. But since you never used area chat we should just pretend no one does while also pretending this actually stops bots and spammers. OK
Slowing down the creation isn’t meaningless, it gives AGS’ support team the time they need to handle the banning and removal.
What’s the better scenario?
A: Bot accounts that can be created and spam chat instantly
B: Bot accounts that have to level to X before spamming
Im aware that everyone that plays FFXIV is in unending trance about the game lmao. I agree that theyre doing good stuff, YoshiP cares about the game more than any dev i know of.
That Game still has had the same issues that were talking about here in the past. Good to see that FFXIV has been combating this SINCE THE BEGINNING, and still has to try new ways YEARS into the life of the game. Lost Ark will never be able to stop trying to find ways to combat things like this. That is the life of an MMO.
5 hours gives them time? They are running bot trains to level as we type. Again this does nothing in the long term. Its a placebo so people can pretend it has any effect.
Its a good attempt for them to take 
once you have ONE CHARACTER PAST 30. You will never experience this on other characters. Youre complaining when i dont think you even understand what youre complaining about.
I understand what I am talking about and the words I use quite well. Thank you for your concern over my understanding level. Have a day
it sucks for new players but its a good solution
How is it a good solution? Solution means the problem is solved. Did this actually solve anything? NO.
Idk about all that m8
its an excellent step in the right direction very happy to see more of this!
That’s a narrow-minded way of thinking.
If you think getting rid of bots is an easy one-punch solution, then why has no company figured a way to do so?
Solutions don’t have to immediately* solve the problem, they can progress us towards a better outcome.
well im not spammed anymore as soon as i login 
, some spam here and there. But for the spamer isnt as easy as create new account launch the game and spam again , they need to lvl to 30 again , and its takes a while
I dont really give a damn what you think about me. M8
Of course its not easy and thats why chat restrictions have never worked to remove bots, and thats why I say again this solves nothing. Its a speed bump.
chat 
restrictions are only one tool of the toolbox to combat bots
You keep saying it’s a speed bump, it slows them down, etc and are completely ignoring how that in itself helps combat bots.
For what 6 hours? They are already leveling past level 30 so its one tool and the only tool AGS has shown to use. Coming from NW I can tell you they did nothing to combat bots at all. If that game still had 250k players we would see tons of spam. Killing their game is what stopped bots. Nothing else they did.
Hey, news for ya’, I came from NW too – you can stop throwing that around as a justification.
Also if you don’t believe AGS is going to do anything, why are you posting on the forums?
Because I feel like it. If you have so much faith they will do something why are you posting?
I will use NW as justification as I feel fit to.
