The ongoing botting issue has lostark from anqilan's blog

The ongoing botting issue has led to some people to speculate on the "real player count" that is Lost Ark, and while it's obviously impossible to know with certainty the exact number Buy Lost Ark Gold, shifts in overall player count such as the removal of a gold farming method has took a massive 200,000 players off the high-end in March Buy Lost Ark Gold. These incidents have sometimes come up as strong indicators of how many bots existed behind the scenes. For the record, we'll probably never get an exact number, as websites like the aforementioned Steamcharts and SteamDB while helpful aren't official tracking sites and, therefore, can differ somewhat.

The date is now June 16, and it looks like botters as well as real-money traders have been hit particularly hard. The day before the event, it was announced via Twitter and an official announcement within the Lost Ark forums that a "massive" ban will be in store for the upcoming update. They weren't kidding! This patch appears to have pumped some extra power under the hood which has led to a greater fall in players on the days after the patch. The number of concurrent players did initially reach roughly 550,000 at the time of the patch, but began plummeting to around 200,000 during the weekend.

This resulted in two vastly divergent reactions from both factions. On the most popular cheating forums as well as botting hubs threads featuring players performing fake damage checks are easily found, with posters reporting on which accounts received bans, the duration of these bans, as well as which games or actions might have led to them being caught on Amazon's radar.On the flip side that coin there are users on Reddit, Discord and other frequent hangouts that allow for legitimate Lost Ark play hyped about the purge, in what could be the most triumphant celebration of the fallout of players you'll experience anytime soon. The result was of genuine disbelief at result, as well as a mocking of those in the middle of the bans, and memes.

If we all let go of our popcorns for a while however tempting it might be to break out the champagne is it too soon to start celebrating. It's widely accepted that generally speaking first time offenders only receive a three day ban probably as a means to warn people who are untrustworthy and not regular players that are caught in the crossfire that means some accounts removed in the last couple of days could be back in service cheapest Lost Ark Gold. While they're probably not going back to the firing line as much, those who make money from developing and selling botting programs are likely to pick off the latest update to figure out ways to circumvent it.
