The popular Korean MMOARPG Lost Ark, released in our country in early February, has long been flooded with endless hordes of shoes. At first glance, it may seem that even more than four months after the release, the game retains a really large player base. The evening peak reaches over 800,000 people. The problem is that about 70% are bots that sell game guilds to players. This is the so-called RMT – Real Money Trade. Since guilds are the most important commodity in the entire Lost Ark, the result is brutal inflation of everything on the market.
Amazon Game Studios, along with the developers at Smilegate RPG, have been very light on this issue so far. The surprising fact is that because of the shoes, both companies lose a huge dose of profit (gold can be exchanged for crystals that can be bought for real money). Today there was another wave of mines, but we have already seen several times that the boots will return within a few hours. It remains a mystery why players who buy guilds from shoes are not permanently banned. The three-day ban is more of a laugh. As the saying goes, “On a harsh bag, on the lawn.” Unless the approach of Amazon and Smilegate changes quickly, the future of Lost Ark will be very bad. Thanks to bots, players on US servers stand in huge queues and can hardly get into the game, which we also encountered when they came out. However, at that time it was due to genuine interest on the part of the players. The situation is really unbearable and completely demotivating. Mainly for Free to Play players who can’t buy almost anything due to inflation. At least not at a reasonable price. Lost Ark has undeniable qualities, but the boots are eating him alive. Maybe that will change. You can watch Stoopzze’s streamer below which goes into more detail about the issue.
