Please Lock NAE Servers. There is no reason to have them unlocked when we are being 100% attacked.

110 Channels on Avesta; we never have this much. They are attacking in force and every channel is either full or full of bots at the Portal.
“It will hurt new players” It already is hurting new players. Your soft stances of not permanently banning RMT has backfired; your other stances that you think that is healthy for the game is also upsetting the player base such as gold taken away from rapport or stronghold. Please, I beg you as someone that WANTS Lost Ark to succeed, start making the hard rough decisions; players WILL respect you for them.
You have the opportunity now.
Lock NAE
Permaban RMT players of ANY quanitity as those are 100% the culprits taht are causing this
Consider your other actions like Class Cadence and how you are negatively hurting this game.
Thank you,

NA East - Azena. Around 1:00PM CST I was able to get into chaos dungeons after a 2+ min delay. Currently (3PM CST) can’t get in any. Also, N Vern has 125 channels and bots are stacked on chaos dungeons, etc…
Should probably do something about queue times as well so people can actually play the game first?
If only they actually cared, but they’re more worried about “new players” aka baby bots lmao
Very nice post, though, I agree 100%

We have a couple options here. We know they “hear our feedback” what we dont know is if they “act on feedback” similar to class cadence.
So we can Voice our concerns - The best way to do that is not only post our concerns but provide viable solutions that show we are thinking logically; attempt to persuade them with things that can benefit them
Stop playing - The only other way to show we are upset is to stop playing the game. Honestly this is a last resort, but nothing is truer than this. Many did that with New World and it caused such a ripple effect it killed what was a beloved game. Smilegate couldnt ignore this if this happened due to the serious issues
Ignore - This is the worst solution; not being vocal about these situations is not the same as supporting the bots, but it is not great for the game itself as it doesn’t help their data.
It’s not just matchmaking that’s broken, solo events as well… we cannot enter dungeons, cube, boss rush, tower or any raids (NAE Elzowin)
send captchas to all emails associated with accounts?
maybe thats too hard for the devs to implement since they are pretty incompetent
As long as RMTers keep buying gold, they’ll keep feeding botters and encourage them to evolve (speedhack modified for PvE and even more PCs to create more bots). I hope AGS eforce something new for once.

Guardians
Captchas arent the end all be all for bots; What does work and has proven to work is Authenticators, either 2step Authenticator, or the Randomized Number patterns used by NCSoft games. It is better at deterring and less frustrating for players. But no system like that is perfect; 2 Step Authent might be the next step, however.
Predicted going down for 2 hours means 4 pepela
doggy shoes are for winners
here’s a way to pozi spin this
have all the bots constantly insta ported to an instance where they become the mobs of a chaos dungeon.
we farm THEM for mats.

NAE Ladon: tried to queue for Guardian Raid using matchmaking. Clicked on matchmaking button, waited a good minute, clicked it again, said I was in queue. Finally the sound went off to show I was in the queue. Then about 5 minutes of getting a group and having 1 or 2 people time out. This happened numerous times in T1 and T3.
Tried to do a solo Chaos Dungeon. Same thing happened, clicked on the enter button, waited a good minute, finally get an enter box and hit accept, only for it to time out on me.
I was able to get into 1 guardian raid, Vertus, but it took 5+ minutes to get things to work, and 18 minutes to kill the guardian ![]()
Had to be done bro, the game was broken.
Not just NAE, Happening in west now too and also causing several players to be unable to use party chat - NAW Bergstrom
