Whether World of Warcraft, The Elder Scrolls Online or New World: There is hardly an MMO that has not been spared from bots with its increasing popularity. In the meantime, you can also meet the unpopular guests more and more often in Lost Ark.
The problem was foreseeable given the great rush, but now, because of all the other discrepancies, it comes at an extremely unfavorable time. Also the well-known Twitch streamer Asmongold encountered a particularly absurd experience with bots in his stream:

The Reddit user nit0cs shared on the official Lost Ark subreddit and on the Lost Ark Forum a series of screenshots clearly showing the bots. Many characters standing in the same place with the same equipment or executing inputs with a short delay.

An answer from the official side was not long in coming. community manager Roxx

We’re actively working on improving our tools around bans, anti-cheat and all that good stuff. In the meantime, please report these people (are bots people? bots.) if you can so our support staff can quickly remove them from the game.

On the other hand, if you want to find out about the current situation regarding the servers, you should keep an eye on our server ticker:

Have you also encountered bots or have you been spared so far? And do you report them when you run into them? What do you think Amazon should do to get rid of the bots as quickly as possible?
