Despite the fact that Smilegate RPG and Amazon Games have spent countless hours devising solutions to the bot problem in Lost Ark, it appears that some are still slipping through the cracks following the recent crackdown.
Cheaters and bot accounts are one of the things that gamers from all walks of life despise. While no publisher has been able to completely eliminate these issues in-game, the Lost Ark development team has been working hard to combat the in-game rule breakers.
Amazon Games and Smilegate directly addressed ongoing bot issues in the March 24 update, confirming that they were cracking down on illegal activities.
Many hoped that new checks requiring Steam ‘Trusted’ status for player accounts would put an end to the game’s issues.
Unfortunately, some demons have slipped through the cracks, as one player discovered when attempting to join a raid that the majority of their fellow warriors were, in fact, fake accounts.
Players can farm resources in Chaos Gates, which are daily dungeons. While Smilegate has focused their efforts on spam accounts that try to trick fans into buying fake gold with real money, it appears that running dungeons and selling the rewards has become the new way to exploit unsuspecting players.
This unfortunate encounter proves that there’s still a long way to go before Arkesia’s true demons are finally put to rest. Standing among a group of players whose names are simply collections of random letters (all of whom are all sporting the base rabbit pet), this unfortunate encounter proves that there’s still a long way to go before Arkesia’s true demons are finally put to rest.
As bots continue to wreak havoc on Arkesia’s shores, it appears that there is still a lot of work to be done to resolve this problem. Until then, be on the lookout for rogue rabbits and a plethora of randomly generated names, and do your best to avoid them.
