It is not the players responsibility to prevemt rmt it is the devs. You can also blame the playerbase. Most of the people i know who bus bots do it simply because bots have better manners then humans. Free carry no bid lobbies dont exist anymore because peoplebgot greedy and started bidding on the books that would drop. So now i take my 2k gold get a thank you and they song out before the auction for books even begins.

It doesn’t break TOS, so there isn’t any bans.
This has been asked hundreds of times at this point. Bussing has even been promoted recently on the official Twitter.
you still believe the biggest LIE in lost ark ?
with one the biggest liar who makes 30k in half an hour
You don’t get it. AGS is big brain by letting this play out on its own so when it comes time to clean up this game, they will ban RMTers and bots all in one go cause they have all the logs!!! /s
In the same logs they have that will get RMTers banned, they’ll see that three RMT bots sent 4k payments to Bob the busser, they don’t know he was bussing, assume a sale and will just ban him.
When he contacts support all pikachu faced, what’s his excuse going to be save his account?
“I wasn’t buying gold honest! i was just bussing bots to help them circumvent the 1375 ilvl restrictions you’ve been implementing everywhere to stop them”
Yeah, bussing may not be bannable, but getting your account tainited with RMT gold straight from the bots pockets is asking for trouble.

drug dealers arent the problem. its the drugs themselves that are the problem. idk why the police target drug dealers they are innocent

Everyone in the game would be banned if this happened.
Those same bot accounts are buying things directly from people on the AH constantly. Those same bots are selling you things on the AH. Those same RMTers are buying stuff, bidding on things in your raids, etc.
This is a completely unreasonable burden and players have no way to tell if someone is cheating or not. Nor should they try to, because they don’t have access to the information AGS & SGR have.

I agree, we got again the bad side of this action.
I can not believe that why so hard to hire some GM or person who check the bots more often and launch a bigger ban wave in every 1-2 week.
If a bus driver walks into a oreha carry with 3 obvious bot names for a 2k payout, well above the norm, there is no way they could credilbly hold their hands up and say “I had no idea they were bots Mr AGS”
The second they do they deserve the banhammer that’s coming at them.
Which annoys the hell out of me as my artist is gonna need busses in a couple of weeks and half these silly buggers are going to get themselves banned before then and lose everything they worked for, leaving me with fewer busses to pick from and they’ll all double in cost due to supply and demand.

There’s no rule in the ToS that you can’t bus accounts in good standing in oreha hm for 666g per person. It rewards more gold than that.
Trying to punish legit players for the publisher/developer’s inability to act is petty, jealous behavior.

But these same bot accounts are going to get flagged for the 100k gold transactions they make after bypassing the 1375 ilvl limit that’s holding them back,
That’s when AGS tracks the payments those specific bots have been making to other players, be it 2k and 100k.
Jealous that these guys are helping the bots that screw up our game? helping them bypass the the restrictions Smilegate has put in the game to stop them? not jealous, theres a few more choice words i’d use for them , but then i’d be on a forum vacation.

you must be really high XD they cant even deploy a normal update without breaking something, and when they do break it they have no idea what they did wrong, do you really think they are able to do anything that advanced?

So if i want to bus i need to do a touring test on each member to confirm there not a bot? maybe ask some lore questions to make sure they did the story? There is no reason to ban people bussing and you cant charge players with the task of moderation under threat of ban.

Hope you’re ready to pay 2k for an oreha bus lol also it’s not really rmt gold until someone pays irl money for it
I’d bus bots non stop, unfortunately there are no parties like that in my region.
Don’t like it? Then continue laughing it up posting 30 gold redstones and 18k grudge.
Only way to stop the bots is to nip it at the source. Stop giving rmters a 3 day vacation for buying millions of gold. Bots will always be back if there is money to be made. Rmters will always buy gold illegitimately because the rates will always be better and at this point, that 3 day ban is doing them a favor. They already bought their gems, setting their gold to 0 does nothing. At this point, people feel stupid for buying gold through the royal crystal system when they sit and watch well know streamers get a 3 day when they repeatedly buy it illegally ON STREAM. You won’t stop the bots, you have to starve the bots. You have to make people actually scared to buy from these bots because at this point you just get made fun of for being legit.
the problem is, if they perma ban all the RMTers,
who’s going to swipe ? the RMTers most likely the one spending money in the game too
and if they ban them all, probably only 25% of real player population left, which at least half of them want pheon to be removed from the game and convert blue crystal for 10g
They aren’t being banned, and will not be banned. You’ll have plenty of busses for your artist don’t worry.
Why do you keep trying to BAN RMTS? It is clear that AGS do not BAN. If they ban AGS twice a week, they would not be so rampant.
