Making Items Char Bound and Not Roster Bound Only Hurts Legit Players

This is actually getting ridiculous the stealth changes that are going on making items Char bound. Potions, flares, panaceas, bombs, all now char bound when they should be roster bound. There is absolutely no point to it. If the thought is to stop the bots it doesn’t. They are standing right in front of Queen Eayln in Vern right now spamming like usual with impunity and in the meantime AGS makes changes that make legit customers like me want to stop playing in NA and go back to my chars in RU.

I use 3 alts to feed Mats to my main but now I want to up these alts so they can do higher dungeons and feed her more. Guess what? They cant share Cube Tickets, Life Leapstones, any kind of shards and they are gated, STUCK where they are. I am literally a slave to RNG hoping that my alt will drop a cube ticket when my main has 3 cube tickets to tier 1 that are useless to her. “Go do the islands!” You say? Done those. 95% of the rewards are once per roster and tapped out. “Buy from ships, guild store, Arkesia event?” All tapped out and weekly. I literally can’t level anything since it takes 14 to 15 leapstones PER ATTEMPT. I used to be able to feed leapstones to my main. No longer. A chaos drops 14 or 15 and that means at this rate I will be here 10 weeks just to get enough to make tier 3. Am I willing to play and grind for 10 weeks a couple hours per day? NO. We wont even go into how rediculous it is that my main has 300k Harmony shards she can never use again and my alts dont have enough to level up items.

AGS seems to be trying to convince me I don’t want to play this game. The only thing that makes me know the game is better than this elsewhere is I have played in Russia and enjoyed it without all the Wokezon skins, char bound BS and other stupidities AGS has introduced. They are RUINING Lost ark and I wonder, honestly wonder, if they even care.

At this rate everything will be char bound in 2 weeks, potions, mats, tickets, everything. Its ridiculous. If they think they can make the grind worse and we will just take the shaft well they can count me out. If they don’t reverse course in this, I will go back to playing in Russia and they can have my hard earned entertainment dollars.

Sincerely,
A Deeply Annoyed Legit Customer

The game is fine in RU. Nearly everything is Roster bound that is not tradable and it works great.

Its Wokezon that FUBARed it.

i think the thought process that AGS have is if they annoy the players than the players will pay to skip that annoying stage no one told them the players can simply quit

No you cant even pay up. I have cleared out mari shop. Its just to get people to quit I guess.

Just ran 2 tier 4 chaos dungeons in Yorn and didnt get enough leapstones for one shot on my weapon. Got 9 and need 13.
