Cheers, Sagranda and rom.
This in itself is confusing and without being able to dismiss the banner it seemed like it was an intentional alert/annoyance for untrusted accounts.
thank you for your explanation i personally bought many things in LA and have 2FA activated vie Email in Steam and iam Trusted all features Acessible but i fear when they crank up the system to all Users i will loose this Trusted status cuz i cant activate the Mobile Authenticator because i have no Phone (more of a personal Life Decision/Reason) and i will definitly not buy one For Lost Ark.
Hope most of the info is correct 
If they really crank this up and everyone needs Steam Guard App, the only solution for people without a smartphone (which I totally respect) would be an emulator I guess (as described above in a posting by me). Which is of course absolutely not ideal, but might be a solution.
I understand the problem of not owning a mobile, etc, and that’s the reason why steam guard had more than 1 method in the first hand, you can choose to use a mobile or use email for the 2-step security.
The trusted status now is separated into trusted in steam and trusted in lost ark where trusted in steam have a listed requirement like spending 5 USD, while trusted in lost ark have no set requirement. Back in March/April, they adopt the trusted status in steam and need us to be trusted in steam to get the trusted status in lost ark. Now they take it a further step to say they need you to have 2FA with mobile to be trusted.
First of all I don’t agree this is the right direction to combat bot as I’m sure bots will find a way to do that in days. This 2-step system is for security of our account and not as a lazy method of combat bot. Today is add the requirement of mobile, who knows what they need? maybe a credit linked?
If they really need to combat bot, why don’t they do that to all those who buy from RMTer instead? Just a tempban of 3 days without taking away gold is like asking ppl to go buy there until you get caught. Nearly all the gold transfer seems to be going through the auction house and look at all those tier 1 items selling over 1k gold, you can easily spot those buyer/seller and just perm ban those account to stop the trend.

I’ve bought steam games worth more than $5. I’m already using mobile steam guard, and i can sell and buy items on steam community market. Why am i still prohibited to use lost ark trading system and can’t write mail with attachment?
I’m confused. What am I missing?

You want feedback? I don’t have a cell phone. So that’ll be a forced good-bye from me. Actually, this is quite sc(a/u)mmy. First you take my money for pre-order, then you pretty much deny me to play the game. Have you checked with your lawyers if this is legal in all countries?

How are they denying you from playing the game? Please explain.
what should i do if im still have the issue after turning on mobile 2FA?
I totally understand the frustration and where you’re coming from. Just keep in mind that we are rolling it out to small groups of players first. This will allow us to monitor closely and see how everything works out. Please bear with us as we try different methods to clear the bots and keep Lost Ark safe.
(emphasis mine)
You do work for the same company, right?
Well, here I am again. I had decided to leave this game for good, I spent around 15 days away to unwind, but I decided to give it one more chance. I saw that there was an update and now everyone is required to activate Steam’s Mobile Authenticator. Well, my account already has Steam’s Mobile Authenticator activated, but nothing has changed for me, I keep getting the warning on my screen that I don’t have the “Trusted Status” yet. I would like a light, a direction, because I’m already losing the last bit of charm for the game, which soon, I’ll definitely stop playing, if it continues like this.

You will be keeping Lost Ark safe from me, someone that has spent money and I am a ‘Founder’ as well…
How dare you guys make me ‘untrusted’…
Well… I don’t trust you guys… no more money from me.
I won’t be buying a new phone just to play a game or to use its features…
My apologies, I was not aware of that update. Completely my fault, I must have missed that. Sorry for the miscommunication.
If you don’t own a mobile phone honestly you have other issues in life. Probably shouldn’t be playing this game.
Ah, kids these days. Constantly glued to their mobile devices. Cannot even conceive that others might not be.
I’ve got fibre son, I work from home. I get my stuff delivered. I dont need a fricken mobile phone.
You may be fine running around with a skeleton key to your digital identity in your pocket and paying through the nose for it. Me personally… not so much. But again… don’t need to

Maybe you should read… I said ‘new phone’. I didn’t say get ‘A’ phone… I have a mobile, it just doesnt like apps, perfectly good otherwise.
And…
It is none of your business what I or anyone else does…
I am just trying to get AGS to stop with this ridiculous ‘trusted’ thing as it is impacting ‘genuine’ players. It will do next to NOTHING in stopping the botters or RMT’ers.
“genuine”
Yes…genuine.
Stop implying otherwise…
You dont’ have to be glued to your phone to own one.
I got fiber too that’s old news its not a flex anymore had 1g up and down for 6 years now.
Do you not go outside? Drive a car use google maps? Go on Vacation? I work from home too yet i still go outside from time to time.
Yup i pay for my phone but its 100% worth.
Sucks that its affecting you but if its stops the bots I’m sorry that you have to be sacrificed but its for the greater good.
