After spending 180h on this game and reaching 1460 ilvl , i have to quit it sadly because of this stupid trusted status system for me I’ve been waiting for 1 week for the activation and I’m getting super frustrated so i can only imagine what you are going through my friend, it’s really disappointing it was a fun game honestly.

I feel you… shame that no one cares about this issue, they found the best way to repel new players because the system was supposed to “combat the bots”. But instead of getting rid of bots and getting new players it was the exact opposite.

the problem here is not the amount
10$ may be nothing for him
but if he wants to be f2p completely this solution does not fly for him
that’s the point, 10$ isn’t a lot of money, but the problem is they are advertising the game as free to play and people expect to experience all of the game for free, when in reality you have to pay 10$ to access the most important feature in the game (market)
you actually have to spend money or you’ll never be trusted , the 90days thing is BS.
even after 1year still not trusted even after buying the first battlepass 
at this poin it’s pretty obvious AGS doesn’t care about this dead game

I wouldn’t be surprised if the 90 days is another of their lies, but we will see, this was the last email I got from their support:
Before that they were telling me to have a purchase on steam that was placed 30 days ago, then after 30 days passed it was suddenly 90
they can technically be sued over this
so good luck with that
i got a question though
since 2fa is an option why don’t you do that?
People argued about this being a scam, and it kind of is, but people stop caring and just quit the game essentially.
I did steam guard mobile 2FA and 5€ steam purchase on january 21.
now after contacting the amazon live chat again, they said that the only way to do so is to make an in-game purchase

and how is that not a scam? they are literally scamming people
I like how it says it’s restricted “unless it’s trusted by steam or amazon games” when steam trusted have no connection to lost ark trusted status lmao

i did send him that afterwards but afterwards he said "in that case you would have to wait for steam to update the status and they don’t have an ETA and all the generic stuff you already know. 
ETA is 90+ days because they want you to spend money in the game 
there is no other reason why you have to wait 90 days when you get trusted on steam in 2 weeks.
Also bots are buying 10$ royal crystals to get trusted so they can do RMT so it’s profitable for amazon to have as much bots as they can with this system. 50k bots = 500k $
Yeah i surrender there is no point following this matter anymore, i really doubt that they would enable the trusted status after 90 days. why would they even need us while they can get countless of p2p bots.

yeah I don’t even know anymore if it’s good idea to even try to raise awareness to this, no one seems to care, not players nor amazon, I think this is VERY unhealthy for the game and new players influx is reduced by so much by this system. My english isn’t the best but I hope people get what I am trying to say. More people will quit than start playing the game and eventually there will be just bots and whales.
TLDR of this thread: If you want to play this free to play game, you have to spend real money in the game.

you wouldn’t need generally the auction house and market at first when you are playing the main story line and with the login and event rewards that’s what sustained us the first levels but when u reach 1445+ it gets impossible to go further without these functionalities.

well the good thing is your will be trusted when (and if) you come back.
I agree new players should not have to wait months to access the in game market place. They have been coming down hard on bots (and it has made a difference), I just wish it didn’t have to come at some of the players expense. What can you do it’s a double edge sword. It just means slower progression until then.
Not going to tell you to spend money on a free to play game, but as you long as you understand why the system was put into place. And it gives an extra incentive if you see a skin (or a mount) for your character that you like.

Whoever is in charge, they just don’t care. I’ve been reading these topics on Steam for several months now. It’s impossible to play after certain point without AH.
I have not previously seen a claimed 90 days limit. Maybe it’s correct. It’s absurd because many of the bots are trusted. Do they pay or do they use stolen accounts or how, I don’t know. But by now they mostly have to be trusted.

Definitely a smart move to move on and play a better game.

that’s the most important part, every single bot pays 10$ for royal crystals to get trusted, this is where they get $$$, they don’t care about new player who wants to play the game for free.
Took me some time to realize this, but that has to be what’s going on because I don’t see other explanation.
