This constant botting problem has led lostark from anqilan's blog

This constant botting problem has led to some people to speculate about the "real numbers" of Lost Ark, and while it's impossible to pinpoint for sure exact figures as to the total number of players Buy Lost Ark Gold, changes in count , for instance the demise of an easily exploitable gold mining method allegedly removed a staggering 100,000 players off the top of the list in March. This has occasionally come up as solid indicators about the quantity of bots were operating behind the scenes. To be clear, we'll probably never get an exact count, given that websites like the aforementioned Steamcharts and SteamDB while useful aren't official tracking websites , so they might be off somewhat.

We're now on June 16 and it appears botters as well as genuine traders have been hit particularly hard. A day before it was announced on Twitter as well as an official announcement at the Lost Ark forums that a "massive" ban wave would be in place alongside the scheduled update. They weren't lying! This patch that is normally a regular one appears to have been packing extra power under the hood and resulting in a more dramatic decrease in players in the days following the patch. The number of concurrent players increased to 550,000 after the patch, but fell to around 200,000 over the course of the weekend.

This led to two completely divergent reactions from both factions. On popular cheating forums and botting hubs, threads with gamers performing pseudo damage checks are readily accessible in which posters share what accounts of theirs were banned, the length of these bans and which games or actions could have put them by Amazon's radar.On the flip side that coin there are players on Reddit, Discord and other popular hangouts for legitimate Lost Ark play hyped about the purge, and in what is probably the most triumphant celebration of player decline you'll ever see cheap Lost Ark Gold. This came in the form of genuine disbelief at the result, as well as a mocking of those that were at the end of the stick of bans, and memes.
