If this was the case there would be no reason to remove gems from the event npc since you cant buy the gems until you have 1302+ gs. However it was removed because of bots according to the patch notes. Also, i think the ark pass tier 1 offers free gems right? Unless im thinking of something else.
Edit: with the express pass it might not be too long before punika becomes the new vern.
because if you find one without loosing the real customers you would get tremendously rich in the real world 
that should say something about “why it wasn’t found yet” 
As a casual player who doesn’t do a lot of the end game content… almost all my gold is from una task/masterpieces. How the heck would we make gold without that and abyss dungeons ? Might as well remove gold all together then.
Why removing gold from campaign quest does even bother you? Arent you lv50 yet? You can’t get gold from same quest on same account.
Maybe this means they are tracing bot activity to the sources. The points where the bots get gold rewards, delete bots start new ones get rewards delete bots…
We don’t know what’s really going on other than we see bots absolutely everywhere. Maybe these rewards were an income point for bots.
Actually, you can. There are yellow quests that give out the gold every time. Miniscule amounts, but they do.
And I’m also pretty sure they are entitled to their opinion of caring, just like you are entitled to your opinion of not caring.
I have seen bots In T3 content. Just last week had one in my dimensional cube run, thankfully the other 2 people were smart enough to warn the guy so we could kick him and report him.
We removed even more ways for players to get gold ingame.
People now buy more from goldsellers and demand creates more botters?
I guess next patch we need to remove gold rewards from Raids.
At this point just made gold bound to player
Remove gold entirely, and only allow people to trade with Crystals that they buy via creditcard. that will stop botting
You know you could just do what korea did and make it so you had to bind your account to your phone /id right? Can you stop making it harder for new players to progress? You know they made it specifically that way to aid progression? Then you wonder why people are complaining they can’t progress fast enough.
Idk why they dont just remove gold trading like, it’s not even needed. Make these auctions have a huge fee for selling something for 200x the average price and you have a major fix to the problem right there. People who think gold should be mailed are just the ones abusing it more than likely.
Make 1 region like that in Europe
and keep second region without it on Europe.
I for example would prefer them logging not phone but real life identity to account.
In my EU country i already sign documents, bills, contracts etc. via digital signature thats free for everyone in my country. and i wouldnt mind signing a contract that lets me play on servers where only authenticated people can play
If AGS keep doing the same thing, when the bot can farm una they remove the una gold when the can farm Dungeon remove that gold too. Where can let the real player to get gold every day doing Argos or just remove the gold system and AH only use Crystals. They should be reblance the reward system and the AH not just keep nerf where the bot can get the gold. Here not have the Authentication like KR then the AH should not be completely free like now.
Bots can already farm Una, apparently they farm it for Masterpieces.
Totally agree with that, why is it so hard? Is it cos those amazonians are scared of id leaks and stuff? They already hold bank details and such with their other services. Why can’t they put more effort in this aspect.
Maybe botters dont know its against the rules to have more than one account. This rule should be slapped on a banner on the title screen to reduce the number of bots in game.
Hmm, I’ve yet to see any bots in my runs, though I do most of them with a premade group, so maybe I’m just in a bubble.
I wonder if the T3 bots are an entirely separate thing then and buy Aura in order to repair inside Chaos Dungeons because I’ve yet to see anyone run to the repair vendor in Punika. Meanwhile in Vern there’s a damn Botserker train going on between the Chaos Dungeon entrance and the repair vendor.
Because it would drastically reduce the number of potential players, especially underage ones. On top of that it would potentially require either manual validation or development of some automated validation algorithm, both of which take time and cost money.
Just look at how upsetti spaghetti people were about requiring a Steam account in good standing. You think there won’t be an outrage when AGS starts to go all “Paper, please”?
We may never actually see the “smarter” bots for that very reason.
