jesus christ, that’s outdated information from like 8 months ago, it’s not working anymore, do I have to paint a picture? go up and look at my screenshots.
They literally changed how the system works like 4-5 times. Latest info is that you HAVE to pay. Source: Amazon support live chat on March 30.

And have u done it? Have u already buy something in LA? I mean u already did the work and put 5€ on Steam.

Like i sayd so many times now. If u like the game. Why cheaping out. Just do it. Get an Aura its nice 30 Days. And be happy.

If u dont bother then play the game until u need to use the AH and if the player sitl no have trusted. Buy Aura or deinstall.

But you are not forced for anything. Since i posted a Youtber that plays LA ond End Game without using the AH. :slight_smile: I mean that u dont need AH to play Full LA Content. If u wana be the “real f2p”.

I explained why I won’t pay 1 cent 3-4 times already.

the guy is playing lost ark for living, starting with 6 characters, grinding every single one of them all day, and you can’t tell for sure that he wasn’t getting helped by friends or helped in any way, so I am not buying it at all. If I watched his videos I bet I could find a flow within few videos.

I am 1445 myself, does that count as end game without using market? Am I famous now?

Sure, why would I need auction house and market when I got Store :sweat_smile: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

What I mean to say is - I don’t buy it.

good night, it’s not about me, it’s about the others that are going through the same sh!t and how this system is rejecting new players

what do u mean wait 90+ days?

there a screenshot from email I got in February from amazon support where they told me in order to get lost ark trusted status I have to have a purchase on that was placed over 90 days ago and remains in good standing. So yesterday I got told by moderator on the forum that it’s outdated information, so I contacted live support to ask about it and they told me I have to spend money.

I need to wait a day to ask some friends how they can use AH since the play early march. Im 99% sure they didint buy anything in LA. But 1% is doubting.

if they started in march there is no other way than to buy something in game, let me know if it’s something else

It’s possible their accounts were trusted before they started Lost Ark. You don’t need to spend money on LA to get Steam trusted, just need to spend $5 through steam.

For ex, my second acc which has never made a purchase in LA also never had any issue with trusted as my account’s been trusted since NSFW games were first allowed on steam years ago.

that’s outdated, steam trusted status is kind of useless now, they are just telling you it’s the “solution”, trust me I have been through numerous chats with supports, it worked until few months ago, if you were trusted on steam you would get flagged in lost ark as trusted. But now you can see in support section 11 year old accounts with 100 purchases still not having trusted in lost ark because they changed how it works. If you didn’t play lost ark before that change, you can have 20 years old account with 10000$ spent on steam and you will not be trusted on steam.

I posted this screenshot today this is the closest example how it works now:

Also steam accounts that are lets say 10 years old are considered “new” accounts in lost ark now, not to be confused with new steam accounts.
That wasn’t the case let’s say in august last year.

i will try to find some examples of accounts that are not trusted in lost ark but have history on steam:





they silently made that change for whatever reason

wow , i am glad they removed your post which insulted me

but i did not flag any of your posts ! also 1 of my posts got flagged and removed aswell
thats a regular thing , that people flag instantly if they dont like a post , cause there is no thumbs down button

i dont like when posts get removed, because others cant see what a bad person some is, whos harrassing people publicly
also it destroy the conversation , and people sometimes dont know why someone is writing things

you still miss the point, that you do all of this with your free will and dont have to play it

i have over 3000 hours, and if the game is closing tomorrow , i would just go further and do someting else with my free/spare time

its a game

not my private life or a job

also you wont change anything here at the forum , does not matter if you whow wrong doings or bad company desicions

AGS desided to go that way , and what i can tell you from 1 year lost ark forums :

if a higher up manager desides to go a specific way, they almost never changed it or took it back

especially when money is involved
i never said i like what they , do , i always said , whats the facts , and that they are in the right

and thats your biggest problem you are jeleaous about something , you cant change , and is in legal terms ok to do
i get it

but in the end , less than 1% of the playerbase uses this forum.
this forum is more something , that people get their anger under controll , and less for feedback in the end

cause people who could write their opinion, feels some satifaction , that they did something .
its less that this forum is a help and more something like deescalating emotional controll

its phycoligical positive , when someone thinks he could say something about his feelings /opinions, and less a positive way to make something better

That would mean back to WoW again :frowning:

then i would just play Ark survival evolved again

perhaps thats why i have a diffrent sight on things

i have 5k hours in Ark Survival , and there you can , while your offline , loose everything over night while get raided , what you ot over thousands of hours . sooo

seems i just dont get such emotional bindings to games and gear

they really removed my screenshot of amazon lead telling me on live support that you have to spend money in game to obtain trusted status. How hard are they trying to hide it lmao

that’s the answer I was looking for. Instead of lying and telling us nonsense they are not updating their account restriction support page and are misleading people that you can obtain trusted status for free. That’s it from me.

If I get banned for this, please remember me brothers.

Wow Vollfos you’re so impressive, please teach us not to be emotionally tied to video games and still waste our time on a forum, on a topic we don’t even care about just to boost our ego :slight_smile:

No. He has an older account than OP.

The fakt that u can play everything. and the only not benefit thing is without trusted u cant use AH. But u can play everything. Nothing is holding u up.
