Amazon has banned over a million Lost Ark accounts it believes were bots.
“Following launch, botting has been a growing issue for Lost Ark,” the studio said in a blog update on the official forums. “Our team has been hard at work on crafting effective tools and methods to identify and remove bots from the game.
“As the result of this work, today (4th March) we will be permanently removing over a million illegitimate accounts from the game that have been determined to be running bots.”

The post acknowledges that “in this massive ban wave, it is possible that a small number of players may be erroneously identified as bots” and while it believes it’s taken “every step possible to prevent that from being the case”, it’s possible real accounts have been mistakenly labelled as bots. If that’s the case for you, players can appeal by submitting a ticket to support site.
