Lost Ark is battling a massive bot-problem

Lost Ark Bots everywhere

The team behind Lost Ark is working hard to detect and remove botting and cheating accounts. Players have shared their dissatisfaction at the game’s official forums:

“Insane amount of bots!!! this is laughable. hire some employees amazon to ban them”

And it’s not just about the usual gold farm chat spam, there are many botter characters and even hackers in-game – some reports say these cheaters are speed-hacking, flying, and one-shot everything.

The official statement of the Lost Ark Team says the following:

“Maintaining a fair and fun gameplay experience for our players is a top priority for the team. While we intend to make a massive impact with this ban wave, we know that there is more work to be done and want players to know that this is only one step in what will be an active and ongoing process. Looking ahead, we will continue our work on detecting and removing botting, cheating, and harmful behavior from Lost Ark at scale, which includes expanding our anti-cheat tools, improving bot identification methods, and rolling out more ban waves as frequently as is necessary.

Thank you for your reports, your patience, and your ongoing support.”

The presence of bots is certainly not a new thing in the world of online games, especially in a newly launched and hugely popular MMORPG, the appearance of bots is almost inevitable.
