[POLL] Do you agree with banning the use of VPN for Lost Ark?

[Rhel]

I wasn’t even thinking in days. haha I’ve changed it to be more accurate.

Usage of a VPN and/or Error 10010

Heroes of Arkesia, We have put blockers in place to prevent users from connecting to Lost Ark through VPN services. This is one of the steps we are taking combat botters, as it will help prevent them from being able to circumvent some of the restrictions we have in place and make it more difficult for them to connect to the game. While we understand that some legitimate players may use VPNs for other reasons, please note that using a VPN is against the Amazon Games Terms of Service. You can f…

damn 1000 hours still not 1400? YIKES.

[Saintxc]

So laughable. The only thing it did was prevent actual players from accessing the game while the bots continue on their way.

[Klic]

But not anyone worth caring about.

[QuibsY]

This is demonstrably not true.

[Skeptical]

Why would anyone be against this as it doesn’t affect 98% of the player base lmao.

[Saintxc]

Better yet, lets see your super high geared chars my dude. If mine are SO LOW, you should have multiple 1400’s right?

[Syanis]

It’s sad all the trolls. Real players who don’t care / unaffected wouldnt be here cheering AGS but playing the game.

It’s also sad how many self entitled little shts there are who can’t understand struggles for those outside the US and/or major cities. Plenty of US players outside major cities use VPNs because crap rural internet as well as many CA and other NA players. Add in all the Aus / NZ, Oceanic players who DO have access to the servers but struggle on 250-400ms latency without a VPN because ISPs and bsckbone providers have no care about gamers and many have no other ISP option even in the US.

I’d love if the next AAA massive game was hosted ONLY on Oceanic/Aus servers where vpns are banned so US self entitled players get to feel it for once.

[catherina]

i honestly don’t see how it affects the bots that much.

[Dx001]

there are whales that whales for the costumes only, just because they are whales doesnt mean they have to be 1400+, there are players that spends thousands purely on cosmetics and 0 on game progressions

[Saintxc]

You’re acting as if I whaled to get a char super high gear score, and not use that gold to buy a stockpile of mats to boost my ACTUAL MAIN to 1400 instantly on day 1 of release. lmfao

[Rhel]

@QuibsY

This is demonstrably not true.

I don’t use a VPN.

I’m connecting from SEA.

SEA is allowed to play on the servers:

I can’t connect after Amazon “blocked” VPNs.

Demonstrably enough for you?

[Saintxc]

I’m still waiting to see your characters man. You were all about proof earlier, lets see your super high characters.

[damiani]

Amazon is doing the right thing. Hopefully they can fix the connection for those in NA experiencing connectivity issues

[Skeptical]

@Syanis

Real players who don’t care / unaffected wouldnt be here cheering AGS but playing the game.

Which is why the poll is inaccurate and pointless it’s mostly the people complaining that would come here

[Inkant]

Lol like i said, you tried to whale with your mommy’s card and failed. 1000 hours, $1,000, still can’t hit 1400. Why would they cater to you? Just stay DC. All hail VPN block.

[Valdan]

@damiani

Amazon is doing the right thing.

Screwing over legit players is doing the right thing?

Wow.
