New Account Restrictions?!?!?! This can't be serious?

Is there something else you think people should be doing?

While you’re free to have your opinion on my own comments, I disagree with your take. My reply is helpful, and that’s why I’m giving it. Sometimes people think that there are better alternatives, I disagree with that. This is an excellent case of either deal with the situation as it is, or quit, because if it’s that big of a deal to you, that’s the only way to signal that.

my guess is it helps with gold sellers/ bots farming heaps and mailing to alts before they getting banned. gives blizzard 26 days for there algorithm to catch them

No. It doesn’t. You can do everything in the game without those functions, even in vanilla.

Going off actual human behavior, yes, it absoLUTELY does.It’s even a staple in retail conversation between employee/manager and customer.

You can tell someone the EXACT same thing the EXACT same way, but depending on your deliverance of it vs their perceived deliverance of it, they will react differently, and often positively, if they perceive you are being polite. The OP posted this looking for a fight/argument, and thus perceived the post accordingly, and then doubled down on it even after told otherwise. At that point, it’s not Snipz problem anymore, its the ops problem. He wants a fight and by golly he’ll get one evidently.

He politely told him what to do:
Report it if you havent already
If it bothers you too much, quit and refund.
If it doesn’t, respectfully, why are you even here acting like it does?

That’s literally all any of us can do.

Posting on alts to fake like there is more engagement than there actually is, is always a clown move and just makes you look worse, not better. Do better kekw

It’s in plain writing. You not reading, or caring to read, isn’t on them.

You will never, in the history of this game, make enough money on a fresh server economy to even pay for your mount in the first two days of the server being active and the world first levelers aren’t even 40 yet. It’s just not possible because there simply isn’t enough people at the level bracket that can even afford more than a gold for something, and if you don’t remember, even your 40 mount costs 100 gold. Unless you’re talking to gold farmers, and if that’s the case, why do you expect sympathy here, the restriction is literally because of that.

I would say can I have your stuff, but you barely play blizzard products as is, so you likely don’t have anything to give away, you certainly don’t play enough for this to be as big of a deal as you’re trying to make it.

The people posting on this are low level that aren’t just you on multiple alts, are low because the server has been open for Three days including today Please get over yourself with this.

Your post made me remember how absolutely filled to the brim this forum is with people who live to be contrarian. Not being able to trade and use the auction house for a month is insanely punishing.

And then you argue that being polite is intrinsically helpful somehow. Brah I swear you’re all the most elaborate trolls or just completely clueless.

Not in a fresh economy where you’re immortal and dont need to overprepare with bandages, potions, and training dummys to survive it doesn’t.

You’re not finding any mats above a mid 20s to mid 30s level right now. You’re not running dungeons enough to get boes because there literally isn’t enough people at that level bracket to sell anything meaningful. You’re not high enough to need multiple gold to train anything. You will be hardstuck SF’ing materials at a certain point no matter what on a server that is 3 days old, and that’s if you are world first leveler material.

We are simply not at the point where the AH will make any impact on someone’s play, even a month later.
I can assure you, no one in this thread is that kind of player. If the OP was that kind of player, he wouldn’t have quit long enough for this restriction to take hold and this thread wouldn’t exist.

Your reaction to OP genuinely looks like it was designed to annoy him. Lmao. But it’s plausible that you’re sincere. If you’re genuinely not a troll I’m thinking you may have ASD. I’m also not trolling btw.

Claiming someone has autism because they aren’t as “nice” as you are, is actually cringe.
Please go away to be honest, you’re def not contributing much of anything to this conversation besides arguing.

What if the bot just logs in periodically to avoid the “long-abandoned” account restriction? They have been making them since the release on SoD.

So easy to work around lmao.

Simply not true. Being able to buy an enchanting crafted wand right away is massive for casters and is something you find on day one.

Also, people will list random greens they find in RFC and Barrens on the first day, often for a very reasonable price. These items can also be very worthwhile.

Auction House = No impact on someone’s play, as far as a month into the server? Cannot be serious with this, and just affirms my first response to you. Lol

As someone who is a caster on classic, it’s actually not. If you can’t do content without the wand via AH, take enchanting and make it. it doesn’t take much, if you actually play the game, you will get the drops needed to level it enough on your own. You also just straight up can farm a wand that is not made via enchanting, and the bis wands for 18-30 can be farmed from a dungeon.

Also, who cares about wands? He plays a freaking warrior. This is just you arguing to argue. I get that you got confused because they posted on 4 alts, but the OC he posted on is a warrior, who can’t even use wands much less would care about them so the wand situation is completely irrelevant to him, even if he was a caster, he cant permanently die, so who cares if he kills things slower? He can’t die permanently so he won’t lost progress.

What I said was:

The reason being because he was talking about paying for a mount, something that is 30 levels away from where he and most people playing right now are. You can get the gold from that via questing and vendoring if you arent throwing away money training things you don’t need if a mount is THAT impactful to you, but you *can’t get that amount of money from the AH because there physically isn’t enough gold in circulation yet, or AH items to flip for that matter, to where you can earn 100g.

Again, unless he’s in communication with gold sellers, if that’s the case, why do we care?

Then he adding a small bit about everything else you can get from an AH, presumably, to cover his bases, to which I said

I can gaurantee he wont reach level 40 in a month, especially playing by himself, as a warrior. Thus the point is moot because by the time he hits 40, he can use the services again. Even if he dies, again and again, and again, he doesn’t need anything off the AH to level because he’s playing on a server where he can infinitely die. Apart from being frustrated at his own skill with a warrior/warriors ineptitude early on with rage gen and damage and then quitting because of that, nothing will change for him regardless of his access to an AH because he can’t permanently die.

If you can’t bother reading and you just want to make things up just to have something to argue about, you can argue with a brick wall for all I care because I’m not talking to dishonest people.

I think we simply have different opinions on what constitutes a significant impact. 30 days of AH and trade restriction is hugeeee and I absolutely stand by that. It’s not about simply being able to play the game, which seems to be your standard of measurement. It’s about snowballing levels of efficiency which translates to a way smoother experience that you’re missing out on by not being able to trade, assuming you know what to look for.

Yeah, unless the accounts were banned.

This 1 month trial period solves the problem of bot farmers just re-enganging right after a ban wave has been done. I for one prefer my games be bot-free.

All the cope posts just makes me think they are runners of botfarms themselves.

And thats why lost ark is still full of bots and they implemented this years ago.

They just can’t hear that their idea is trash.

You comparing a F2P korean action rpg to subscription based mmorpg?
I’m not sure you even know how the trusted system even works in lost ark.

I guess its bot free because it’s a sub based game. KEKW. That’s def helped every version of this bot filled game.

And you are correct it’s a tad different. My point was just it’s a lazy fix. Instead of actually doing work.

To busy on media.

I’m surprised they’re still doing this, but also not surprised. I don’t know how they’re doing it for Anniversary, but on the Era realms it even locks new mage players out of distributing conjured water/food to their group.

If you’ve played this game every day for 20 years, then 26 days doesn’t sound like much, but 26 days is a long time for a game that someone is just starting.

As someone who’s played WoW for a while, it’s disappointing and embarrassing to see this ham-fisted approach from Blizzard. This seems to have more of an impact on new players than it does on botters.

It’s also embarrassing that some of the regular users of these forums live only to be smarmy contrarians, but that’s nothing new. I wouldn’t put too much stock in those kinds of replies.

The level of efficiency you are making up simply does not exist on a three day old server when hardly anyone is above 25 yet. The auctions, and the gold from them, simply don’t exist yet. You can’t have a fear or missing out because there literally is nothing to miss out from yet.

Given this guy’s reaction to the 30 day restriction and people politely explaining why it’s in place, I’m gonna say we aren’t losing anything of value if he leaves

Amen!

30 days is small price to pay for the long-term health of the realm.
