sorc is so busted, my rat sorc doing normal since It's just non-gold and pumping 500mil+ dps
some dont work tho

or i mean u cant dodge some patterns with it
i think u cant hyper the laser
I always hyper the same patterns every raid
from mordum, the one that 1 shot u
I beat that bard on all 3 gates xDD
Holy shit that was so painful. Idk why but my computer suffered through that g3. At best I had 30fps
But I was dropping to 5 a lot
Maybe steam was updating something in the bg?
I mean support radiant underline is all depending on ur teams dmg
It should be idk
Sure, which one?
Lemme see
I hyper the spokes in mordum g3, I hyper snakes in a4 g1, I hyper the charge in a4 g2, the ending jg in kaz g1, rock snakes in g2-1, and the first annoying pattern in kaz 2-3
spokes?
Oh I got rewarded for no fpd
pog nice
The first mech after first stage break
ah thjat one
Sometimes don’t have it up but most of the times it just means I don’t need to go to safwspot and miss damage on my melee chars
@neon cedar I have Hmord x2, Nm Kaz x2, Nm Act 4 x1
Okay, well idc what we do
Okay let me use bathroom real quick. We can do nm kz and hmord on my summoner 
Maybe I'm just a really good sorc 
All my chars look like this rn
I swapped to red lancer like 4 weeks ago and havent raided on him yet
That’s just the low cp effect
Most ppl still running them don’t give a shit about the chars
It's based on that Combat Bracket tho.


You guys just phone in raids or what?
Oh fuck, do I need Epilouge done for Serca?
I think so yeah
I need to do it 4x more

if you mean the 30 min story fight against kazeros then yes
Im not spending 60k on KT
There is no way my Sorc can get a NM Serca group so I can at least not do her msq
rookie numbers 
Nah u got this fam

I NEED to do it 4 times. I CAN do it 8
I need 6, should do 16
For no one to join? Why waste my time when I could play any other game
Ill do my 2 okayish alts and ignore the rest
I’ll be back soon. Mom talking to me. 5 ish mins.
Om
Hi Chris' mom
She’s gardening
??
@neon cedar Am reddi
Samesies
im rdy too what are we doing
Raiding
oh 🙁
Is this fr
but i lowkey wanna leave the lobby after he decided a 1.6k support was our support
That shit pmo
sure
kk
yea 1,6k cp at 1710 aint it 
It's not
He's a whole ass bozo
His lobby title is 2k+ too which makes 0 sense.. it's prob a rat friend
Lmao 2 other people left his lobby when we left
even my ratties that dont have full karma have more 
1600 is most likely a no ark grid sup
and no gems

prob missing karma too
thats pretty low
prob not even a 1k atk pwr CP sup
tru def of rat prob would need to examine eng too
powerpuff girls evil edition or wuh
if its a maxed expert awaken then its 100% just a 1200 CP sup
which is just 900 buff pwer CP sup
which is basically 0 dmg inc
bruh
average support main
2200 cp supp for serca is ok?
Or need to push a bit more on ark grid
Normal mode just in case
more then enough
surely a4 and a5 solo mode after new dungeons 


they will prob showcase it at loa on
They're just there to take their paycheck
Im in this photo and I dont like it
proof
(My valk has no grid)
yeah but kaz nm is like...the easiest fuckin raid
180 is like... 1710 dmg with Netflix on the side

Hence why they're putting minimal effort
or someone who bought acc
Sweat and you get 2 purple cores
Try hard and you get 2 purple cores

Why even sweat
Send 8 skills and drink water, rinse and repeat

I don’t even bother sweating the game
And then lil Timmy at the side dying to a sneeze gets an ancient and you're like 
8 is an awful lot of skills.
Nah
That's probably what he did
Based
Then he only uses spells when he has to refresh the cawk
praygi
sounds like some classes 
Same amount of casts as our top dps so that definitely wasnt the case
Meanwhile my co summ

hes sweating
Thats just co summ shenanigans
imagine doing all that while having nothing interesting going on in ur screen
Not with ark grid
is it the one where they CAN but WONT be helpful to the party
and the rotating identity one
sanest lobby title
kek
Doesnt say FAST!!!! so itll probably be jail
dont think you need much praying for that, they alrdy confirmed theyre working on them and we are still 2 raids ahead with group raids
yup
would they take off grid from solo mode?
Nah but itll be 95% purples like nm is
yea
better purple than being forced to socialize i guess
om
what
nah, ark grid is the reason for a4/kaz/serca/abyss
would be like taking away the mordum ah mats from solo mode
damn i did zdps
I love having 4 raids for 1 system
That im done with after the first 2

kinda hoping one day we can get everything from solo since its not really an mmo anymore
Delete G1 and G2 of mord ty
thats never gonna happen
game was never a mmo
one can cope EulaCopium
Just wait for April 15 ez
real, helps the people coming in or fresh characters
youll always be a couple raids behind on solo
being behind is one thing but locked progress is another
the eyes and the mordum BALLs
Youre locked out of progress BECAUSE youre behind though
^
Solo shop?
i guess
In SG’s defence 2 came at the same time. 1 is a gear reset as well and the fourth helps you finish off Ancient cores
is that sarcasm
coz the vast majority of players get a sudden outburst of tears when they hear theres a potential new gold sink
players when they have to burn gold
so 4 raids for 1 system should be heaven for them
"How dare you"
I dont, I enjoy progressing my characters power
Otherwise why would I play?
WDYM I HAVE TO PROGRESS????
this is progressing your characters power
just incremental numbers
see: what I just fucking posted
i mean you still do, dont think youre 80+% dmg sublines and 6/6 ancient cores 
The gear reset sure
But ancient thing is irrelevant for my lucksack ass
tfm regulus ready
(this is me)
o ye
Well not everyone drops ancient cores like Paekes drops 200k bars
thats how most my shit looks too
bang on 50/50 sup dps lines
Yes but it’s not a power system- It’s a story/exploration one
The Cultist Web
Same
Ill min max when we get nerfs
o
… also a combat revamp
I got a bridge to sell you
Till then its be a waste of my resources
whatever that means
Ok ill buy kap
min maxing is only for p2w ppl who just play normally can't min max until system nerfs
you can, but you're not realistically getting both node min max
you can aim to get 1 node to 5 and aim for it to be additional or boss
They said they were doing a combat overhaul whilst focusing on less endgame/raiding focused content to bring more life into the game
u almost always get additional and atk pwr
Which is tied to however they plan on re-adding Hell
I don't think any of my chars have 2 of nothing and fully 1 side
you have to cut 9 for boss
8 is add and atk power
im pessimistic when it comes to hell since they said hell wont be equalized anymore
10 is boss and add
but i hope for the best
I mean they can't make it engaging and equalized
Why would I play some neutered version of my character with no grid

At least not equalized in the way BoC did it
its not fun to one shot bosses to get the title which once was a prestige achievement
unless theyre making kazeros hells
also gem generation doesn't even exist its again just pure RNG
I mean they just make extreme modes or smth
Cycle them out
There’s a way to do it without completely gutting classes
Balance patch hp and dmg as needed
that has been my complaint since day 1
They announced Kazeros EX already
well blame the whole funneling trading etc gems is bad
I want thae hell
oh. Rip only China gets those
not equalized doesnt mean oneshotting the boss, theyve proven theyre capable of doing harder modes like catastrophe. no reason that couldnt be applied to hell aswell
im glad for the silver gems tho

silver gems I find them to be such a silver sink u have ppl complain about silver
never heard of that 
Korea got a sailing event
2027 probably
catastrophe is the Hell mode for China. Aegir and Brel currently have modes. 1/5/10 kills have player banners, leaderboard like TFM and animated titles
additional difficulty CN server has
nop
perma up
see thats what i wanna see yesge
She places the stupid circle in the middle of the boss and there is nothing to stand in
is there a gif for the animated title i never saw one b4
“Abyss Gazer” with lava/rock instead of Kazeros’ purple
most of my silver sink is from hell

using accessories and plus honing
feelsbadman
Act 3
min max deez
the reason why i have low silver tho
is prob im tryna hone my alts
to 1680
LMAO
everyone is a gatekeeper
the ones complaining about ppl being bad are also gatekeepers

It was just a shitty daily boss
the people being bad are the ones making gatekeeping parties so pugs carry them
kekw
Well twice daily
1.3k cp asking for 2.5k 
support 
defild video detected, opinion rejected
entire game is gatekeeping
or is a 1.3k sup with no books/gems/wealth runes
It can be a multitude of things. Its still an annoying aspect of grouping for content in MMORPGs like Lost Ark, but it has no like...real solution.
and if u are the one carrying u just constantly say ppl are bad and got bussed
i gave him a chance last night with kazeros guide, never again CHRIST
so essentially bussing ppl without getting paid
It helps to step outside the raiding compound now and again. Less gates
I mean there’s stuff other than raids- it just doesn’t immediately equate to vertical progression so ppl ignore
as zerker I could never be the problem
granted Smilegate likes hacking and burning anything other than raids
I think what would help Lost Ark and peoples feeling towards the gatekeeping issue is having other kinds of content that helps gearing more than what we currently have. Solo Raids is a good start, but like...other things and maybe even duo raids or something.
I mean ppl still do raids even if its solo raids
you are the root of all problems
nobody goes and does 0 raids and paradise only
cos why? cos of FOMO same with doing CG and FB

change to slayer and we can be cool
Just because Zerker has big sword like Antares doesn’t make em fault for everything
pretty sure gatekeeping exists in most multiplayer games granted its already handled by ELO for ranked and hidden ELO for casual
slayer has nice booba
To be fair, there was a fairly lengthy period there where after the Mayhem rework it was a lot of unga bunga and then floor pov
is booba the only thing you care about
Yea
maybe
I was disappointed that guardian knight did not have slayer’s body model
and rage
Well ye, didn’t help all the drones following streamers played zerk
I have two valks and one slayer
And Zerk was op on launch then nerfed
I mean more accessability for raids maybe but at the same time this game is designed for FOMO / p2w kinda difficult for them to even make anything casual related
posting my alt 
No
smol monees
why only one slayer
Zerks were the butt of the joke for the community for ages
don't think that's ever selling
no it was a dogshit artist
the next raid is 1710 ilvl and the next one is 1700 for normal
Im hungry
Fluff is group chat now
yea but u get 0 progression from what I heard
Both also have multiple revives

You get cores, and mats and weekly gold
holy
I think the hesitation with adding more "worthwhile" content may come more from the games consistent issues of gold inflation. The times where gold has been spread out more all the people with a billion alts and alt accounts just accumulated so much crap and it was awful for everyone else.
Make it roster bound gold ig
Or silver
I mean that issue is always a persistent issue in any MMO game and then it always boils down back to bussing
they should make the game an MMO
Their baby steps with bound gold seems like they’re trying to slowly get Korean audience used to it
I believe the most current raid in kr gives character bound
but I might be wrong
it's either char or roster
it does
Korea doesn’t have roster gold
Char bound from raid would be insane 
cores? not the stuff to gear transfer right cos I heard NM doesn't give gear transfer mats
Western privillage 
would suck ass
gold is gold, it always gets spent, i can't even remb the last time i had stored up roster/char bound gold at the end of any reset except on lopang characters that got some gold from paradise
We actually push our rats
Ye, that would be some crazy ass shit 
you need to be 1730 with ah 40 done to even transfer
people make way too big of a deal with this roster gold/char gold/rice eater gold/none rice eater gold/korea gold/chinese gold
gold is gold
Carry stuff like that is a contributor for sure, it exacerbates the problem.
Imagine being 1730 and trying to hone with 1 characters worth of gold
oh thats like a massive gap
Yes, the point is rice accounts cant farm/siphon bound gold
I mean if you could police those 3 areas sure game would be massively different
there is a big difference between tradeable - roster - char bound gold
Because think back to when there was not a 6 char limit. People full sent like 12+ characters through all the gold earning content + running busses while doing that and they accumulated so much gold.
i am sure they are gonna find a way somehow still, net will find a way
Well, Smilegate is obsessed with inflation
with no gold limit on raid I'd be making 2mil+ a week 
2 of those can be used to funnel, 1 of those can be funneled to other rosters, and 1 forces you to use it on that specific character
lost ark isn't an mmo tho...
wut is lost ark
Those were the people generating infinite gold per week
…? it literally is
if not mmo
no it isn't
why mmo shaped
i mean nothing would change for them apart from not having to log on altroster 1-7 
it's an action adventure hack and slash with mmo features
I mean just dealing with an economy doesn't sound great tbh
Yea, you can only imagine since you're a whale 
mmo-arpg but ok

brother it is an mmo
nope it's not
that's like saying vindictus isn't an mmo

Lost Ark is an mmo 100% 
tbh i dont feel loa as an MMO 
it just a different style
when i think of an MMO i think of FF14
I mean these things aren't going to change in lost ark for another long time
its an mmo without the first m
see, even certified 🐳 agrees
yeah, that's an open-world mmo
FF14 is just Facebook with Spells 
lost ark isn't a classic mmo
MMORPGs as a genre have evolved
LOA is RAIDMO
why i think of mmo i think of runescape played by 90% venezeulans
its an mmo
??
mmo just means persistent online with multiple online players at any point on time
are we just gonna ignore the entirety of the first two years
any attempt at expanding the games scope is met with "Why not another raid?"
that doesnt make the game not mmo
yes
of everyone doing sea content and sea island
area chat spamming "where tokki" "where peach island"
no it doesn't
8 isnt really a large number of people

You can play WoW almost entirely solo these days because of Delves.
“classic mmo”
you mean an MMORPG, and that lends more to an RPG aesthetic not the MMO part
neh no one is ignoring the first 2 years of lost ark
you can play lost ark almost entirely with solo raids now too, wonder if anyone actually plays like that
its just ppl had to do it
exactly, action rpg hack and slash is a more accurate description
lemme mooch off that kaz nm run


once everyone is done u aren't doing social stuff anymore let alone when ppl drop off so does the MMO aspect
I logged off. Too much lost ark for the day
persistent online spaces make it an MMO. Landscape or “field” being constantly filled with other players
I mean...most likely, yes. We have literally had people come into this Discord going "I'll just play that raid when it gets its solo mode" or "I'm just going to do the solo mode raids"
is there ver such a thing as too much LOA?
Yes
See: Net
yes, yes there is
so the game is not an mmo because we can do solo raids so lets ignore the fact that sailing co-op and field bosses often see more than 8 ppl that you can see in a group content

or even 16 people if we count behemoth and the like
chaos gates
literally same reason why Runescape is an MMO but fuck me I guess
Only if you're weak
Burning out means you didn't have enough wood 
uwu
No
yea fuck literally the everyone who has a reasonable argument against "loa isnt an mmo"



wheres white hair...
i wanted to spice things up
No

No
yesnt
there is never enough
you leave your homie hanging like that 
hashtag free chris
Don’t worry when I log on, I’ll cut Braden down from the hanging tree
i think it will be chris on the hanging tree when he has to endure partyfinder alone

ngl i misread messages

stoopidbara
plus black hair look better with red wings
how do I find a sugar daddy/mommy who finances my valk to go from 1725 to 1730 and my two 1705 to 1710?
need wing customization
@neon cedar get back online so I can have you forfeit trade duels?
its inevitable atp
real
they will add them eventually
transform skins prob
insufficient balance
i'd go as far as finding a j*b to get my wings customized
one of my friends on WWM was gifted 18.000 beads from his ingame wife as a wedding gift , 18k beads are worth over 200 bucks

what did HE gift
nothing lmao
prob nothing
hes poor, shes rich
Wife got the husband beads. 

im sure theres some spicy google docs with drama coming out of that game
i usually call them pearls, but they are beads actually
nahh people avoid anyone who wants an "RP Marriage"
I think I'm going to need to buy the last level 6 gem I need If I want my final 8 for Serca
Not gonna get it by doing no dailies

meanwhile how i spend my time in WWM
time to do my solo gold raids
based photo mode enjoyer
its 14 solo raids if I dont do act 1 hm lol
of course thats my search bar when i type literally anything
you can upload tiktok dances and your character can perform them
theres ppl dancing to Aespa and other Kpop dances

also poses, u can upload any pose from a game or person and ur character will perform it
is this the work of AI?
yeah
brb logging off lost ark i have urgent business to attend
well yeah
why cant they use AI like that
WWM already figured how to best use AI
No, they actually have this whole team that scans their submission feeds all 24 hours of a day and they code it into the game all within a few seconds 
kek
toxic mod
can we ban this green name
he used common sense aggressively
hes kinda rude
give him the cat phrolova treatment
oh yh i may be getting fiber tomorrow
I wish I lived in an area that had fiber internet as an option...
you guys get internet?
i live in the outskirts, the last place theyd install it, but they got so many complaints over it, they had to
1 gigs a sec?
much less
Ha
how much
ill jump from 7mbps to 400 or so
my internet is stable but too slow
Mine will have moments of instability, just randomly
I'll get a random spike in latency
on the island last year i hit 700k ms
i have a giga stable 1000mb/s that only gets instability during area based maintenances
its nice not having random internet cutouts
same
hoping they did some progresses the last 6 months
make it into a kickstarter like ashes of creation
make some free money for the next 10 years


I really hope this teaches the MMORPG community to just...finally stop trusting crowd funded MMORPG projects
we both know it wont
What, Ashes?
Its one thing to be optimistic. At this point though its just pure, blind, cope.
doubt, its worked 500 times before already, it will work the 501 time
AoC was a cosmic joke. Loved watching it burn to the ground in Discord.
the next one is gonna be different

Steven Sharif was an Archeage whale. That should have been a red flag to literally everyone and it wasn't.
Fix existing MMO franchise? 
Take a decade to build a new one from scratch and flop on arrival? 
half the team was like former NCWest employees oml
you mean like Amazon Games was founded by the people that killed Command & Conquest and Sony Online?
i suppose
i am not sure what archeage is
wasnt he known for shady business practices in web and people freaked out when they found out he was the person behind the company or something
used to be a game
MMORPG, sandbox, PvP focused, pay2win
He had done some stuff like that previously, yes.
"Allegedly"
time for some Mayhem 
I like how people use that just so they dont get sued
if cheetahs are the fastest in the animal kingdom, then why are we measuring our cars in horsepower?
because people used horses for carriages and not cheetahs?
ty4invite
in one atm
sir you dont play league
if mosquitos can fly, then why cant flies mosquito
ill have you know i had a mean ezreal and vayne back in the day (in plat)
Yeah...in season 1 right?
because it was not used for speed, horses were used for pull-strength

not quite but close
if there are 365 days in a year, how can 8.3 billion people have a birthday
because flies are inclusive but mosquitos arent
no thanks
... they do. its when they're just a little guy
... mosquito is just "little fly"
that wasnt too long ago
._.
into 1 *dogshit client
does that mean you get the bullshit vanguard without having valorant?
im pretty sure you do
bruh
it wasnt before
yeah
such a dogshit anti cheat
I mean whats the best anti cheat you guys wouldn't complain about
league sucks anyway
ones that doesnt want kernel access and doesnt try to wrestle control of your device
^
does that even exist
ok name one
if body builders arent allowed to use drugs, then why beauty contests allow make up?
dunno what it is with companies and shitifying their clients. call of duty also went that route and put all their games and modes into 1 convoluted client that has a navigation straight out of the 90s
probably not
they made vanguard. why should I name one? they could have made one
noone would watch them otherwise 
untrue, theres so many baddies without make up
like me frfr
drugs let you achieve things that may not be physically possible as a natty unless the genetic stars align
isnt EAC a kernel level too?
thats a downright horrible counter
make up just enhances what is already there
it isn't
do that without holding my pc hostage
it is because you imply I dont want anything done against cheaters
not for long at least, theres prob more money to be made from cheats so the skilled ppl rather go that route 
its just that I disagree with the methods
but you agree with methods on how cheats work?
why does an anticheat require to be activated despite not playing the game it is made for?
the fk
Kernel level anti-cheat is, to be fair, an unfortunate solution companies have against it.
That does not make it ideal.
makeup is more like creatine/supplements vs plastic surgery tbh
eh, debatable XD
doesn't make it ideal but it literally is what it is
Thats what Sukudo is saying.

makes contour lines out of the blue
makeup isn't gonna be able to physically change things, like bara said
those chinese videos on makeup were impressive
why can i get banned from valorant by using creative mode in minecraft
sorry that i am always late im raiding
They just don't agree with the fact that its kernel level, which is not great.
main point is that make up doesnt physiologically change your body
if seeing is believing, why love is blind? 
its like "why do you have that we install cameras into every house? its the best solution we have against x crime"
cause we see with the heart and not our eyes 
damn
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2X0PL2tlS94 wtf is this
#asiantiktok #asianmakeuptransformation #tiktok #asiantransformation #makeuptransformation #makeupshorts #douyin #chinesetiktok
it is. albeit less obnoxious than vanguard at least where you have to go out of your way to enable stuff in bios and perform a raindance to make it not burp out errors
there is no el salvador solution to cheaters if not we would have it already
tbh its because love blinds you to anything else, not because you love regardless of looks.
backwards saying
its called vanguard
those are the extreme "solutions"
if it blinds one to anything else, how come people cheat
cheaters are extreme need extreme solutions seems fair
and the thing is: companies just want to pay the least money for combating cheaters. thats why they resort to these things
you have massive cheaters regardless AND an obnoxious invasive anticheat on top
because you can fall out of love, why the same ppl that came up with that phrase had like 4 different kinds
... and because relationships are built on more than just chemistry
you are putting everyone under surveilance for no fucking reason. not to mention the vulnerabilities because of it
people rather cheat then end a relationship because they don't want to be alone, wait till they are securely in a new relationship, or have trained themselves into a toxic way of seeking affection/closeness
the largest economic power getting its shit together, creating some form of regulatory standard like the EU/Asia that prevents shit like this?
never content, never fully vested, never wanting to take the risk of investment due to trauma of being hurt or unable to settle/be content
sometimes out of safety in some cases :L
Isn't cheating/hacking in a video game a felony somewhere...?
you telling me ppl in CN don't cheat in their games
or in EU

is it a felony somewhere? cos seems pretty weirdge
breaking a heart to not be heartbroken?
South Korea?
thanks for misinterpreting what I said :L
Yes. That is correct. Just checked.
Is a felony in South Korea
yep, selfish behaviour
Same with checks notes Gambling and Pornography. Hmm, guess that explains Lost Ark
sometimes im glad i dont go outside ngl
it's just one of the risk you take with finding your other half
theres a concept around humility, shame, principle, and some level of consequences that not everyone is able to grasp
for some, its insanely loose
and if they arent dictating that themselves, they let society do it for them
and if society doesnt do it, it doesnt exist
some people also never fully grasp that others have full life experiences different and separate from their own
therefore bending the rules is a thing, and boundaries arent created
and its important to have those traits or be aware of it imo
things only get worst over time
at the end of the day if you are using something that isn't yours just deal with it
fucking spend on actually catching cheaters. log the stuff that happens server side and some client side things. like theres things like snapping in fps etc. This whole "you either accept losing your pc or you get a game infested with cheaters" is just a false premise to me
thats pmuch why i feel everyone needs to be grounded in basic principles
How we experience it and to what extent it impacts it, varies from person to person
It doesnt deter away from whats right vs wrong, good vs bad, etc etc
They do?
i feel like its not hard for them to do it, but the game isnt seemingly the type where they have a dedicate anti-cheat/exploit guy or team
yeah, i bet they do but not enough and just go for something easier
heaven forbid in this day and age some actual fucking real-person moderation is actually conducted by employees with proper training
BDO literally had people develop an entire anti-cheat system and grounded themselves in it with eventually having an employee actually go through reports and all that
@worldly hawk did u see the fucking arms they gave the poros???????
no, we need kernel access otherwise the game is dead. havent you learned today?
isnt it also a kernel level?
i dont remember but they use xigncode
they used to use EAC and things got bad
so they swapped back
huh?
xigncode is kernal
ye i think xigncode3 is kernel level
bet, good to know
@fresh flint if u have poro snacks
no one is going to spend the man power or money to do that
To be fair kernel level anticheats haven't yet resulted in such a severe outcome, that doesn't change the fact that it is still a potential vulnerability. Automated systems are more feasible than manually addressing all instances of it.
Again I am saying this from a position of yes, its a problem but also reality sucks and this is just what we have to deal with for the foreseeable future. Its like lighting a fire to stop the spread of more fire (which is literally a thing)
see, thats the issue
1 true dmg every hit
LMAO
no one is going to query it constantly and have that shet monitored 24/7 with an insane player base
YET. and tahts only "as far as we know"
the fk are you on
but it doesnt kill tho
imagine monitoring data like that
also keep in mind, theres a huge diff between actively seeking out cheaters and all that
vs
reviewing submissions that come in
eventually BDO swapped to that model
unfortunately until the demand disappear the supply will constatnly tinker and find ways to get around anti-cheats
im convinced LA is the same
no one gives af until you get reported for something and it lands on someone's desk to look at
I mean yea the cost is insane to even go do a 24/7 monitoring etc
again
deal with it
people wonder why the same name they had for 2 years gets a smack to be forced to be changed later

thats enough of a hint imo
DFO is fking weird
Cheaters and bots. Neither are going to be easily stopped and its a constant battle.
how many play DFO now like 20 players?
I mean yea cheaters and bots have been a plague since 30+ years ago
yeah you're hiring x employees at x salary with x hrs a day 4-5 days out the week, just so joe who entire life is just creating cheats and selling them with all the free time in the world is temporarily halted
I mean yea cheaters make hella money selling them
companies lose money fixing it

pmuch why games just out of the box with things like EAC and call it a day, leave the rest to reports
Botters too. The people who distribute these things aren't just like some single random dude, they have entire operations of people.
helps funnel things in the end
like people also say how they never do things about botters but like at the same time, if you see them, you should report them
the system sucks but thats how we have to go about it
and how long it takes for it to lands on someones desk to deal with
we'll never know
pretty much
Not to mention the volume of them daily too

And how they change their approach
when the bots went from spamming gold sites in area chat to spam messaging you to then spam mailing you 

thats why its called bot farms
People to this day still think "Oh a subscription slows them down" when I could literally log onto WoW right now, look at Trade Chat in a city and its all carry advertisements for dungeons/raids/rated PvP and its all bot scripts.
the whole cheating/hacking has evolved massively its insane
yeah it does jack all
they recoup the cost of the barrier easily
it def wouldnt slow things down, im sure there are always ways
RMT so OP subscriptions don't work
but it can help deter a bit depending on what it is
like idk, i just like using BDO as the example always
For every $15 they spend on some sub, they probably make $50-$100 if not more
theyre gonna tingle your bunghole when youre asleep
you remove all this free trade garbage, mailing system, etc etc, things can be more regulated and easier to manage, even if it still happens
i dont wanna hear the dumbfuckery of "but what if i want to help a friend and send them gold?!"
stfu

imagine if people that got caught botting for months, maybe years finally got caught and banned because EAC did a slight change, then a few days later they all get unbanned and their strike for botting is completely removed. imagine if any publishers did that
oh wait...
Honestly hands done best approach to a market is bdo
Can't really rmt through and you can't trade p2p
like, it still allows free trading within a reasonable range, its adjustable, and the devs intervene when supply/demand becomes an issue
its legit the weird CN trade system they have
other than that, theres literally 0 rmt'ing
THing with BDO though is they still find ways. Also account selling.
yeah. but account selling happens in every game
cn is always like that, imagine mordum raid hm entry is 1700, but their entire playerbase is average 1740s already
- people would market manip on 2 account using green items with massive trade silver differences
the outrage from seamonster hunting payouts was 10/10
the only 2 things that will always exist in literally ANY game no matter how much you clamp down is
- piloting
- Account selling
the only way account buying/selling could ever be locked down is if it accounts get tied to your personal info
go 100% mokoko seeds then. 
tbf, my friend did help me out and I did give him the stuff back in lost ark
the irony of LA for me is, even if i finish all my weekly stuff, i rather play another game than do any horizontal stuff (its just not as entertaining for me)
i did start the music box stuff tho lol
go get yearning soul
I wonder why companies don't do that 
if they had strict data protection policies in place or gave it to a reputable security company, maybe

but thats too expensive
that prob also goes into territories of net neutrality
all that stuff opens a can of worms noone wants
The US would have an explosive tantrum over something like that.
1000%

when i used to make big purchases with BDO, i had to send them my ID to terminal3 or whatever
thats why it will never happen and it is they way it is
Save for, y'know, the fact that your phone number, SSN, etc are absolutely already passed around like hot cakes for like 5 cents as a part of a data bundle some company is selling to another company for ad targetting.
i already chalked it up that everyones info is already out there
people yap too much about security but that joint is already packaged and shipped

you'd have to be insanely off the grid, with your info being super locked down and all that
to have like <1% of your info being out there
soon they gonna post more kai cenat coin ads here
Yeah, concerns over that are long, long gone. It has happened already.
my fav is the
Its not a "what if" or "when" it just...its been done. Gave your SSN to verify identity for insurance? Phone number as well? The insurance companies have ad departments and people who use your data and info to target offers and other things at you.
