PSA: What is "Trusted Status"? What is a "Limited Account"?

[Azure Fang]

In short: "Trusted Status" is what happens when you have performed one of the qualifying actions listed in the above article to remove limits from your Steam account.

Bonus info: You DO NOT need to spend money on Lost Ark specifically for this change. You just need to add $5 to your Steam Wallet or make a non-market $5 or higher purchase on Steam. These CAN be fulfilled via a Lost Ark purchase as said purchases are handled via Steam Wallet.

I already spent more than 5 in the steam store yesterday and I'm still not in the trusted status, what should I do? My account is almost 3 years old but I had never made a purchase

It takes up to 30 days I believe.

ya its Borked
by Steams guidelines I have a trusted account
I can use the marketplace
I can add Friends and start chats
I have purchases within the 30-365 day window
and I cant access the in game services - I filed a ticket with amazon who blamed it on steam
now its been escalated
I knew f2p players were going to be hit by this and I even aired my concerns in the discord the morning of the update

I support any and all methods of attacking the bot problem in Lost Ark unless it targets legitimate players as well

I've read it multiple times on the official as well as the Steam forums. I don't have a definitive source and I don't want to backtrack, you'd have to look for yourself. That's why I added "I believe" to my sentence. :P

Is your steam overlay disabled? If it is then when you try to make an in game purchase nothing will happen.

If you meet the requirements, Steam's website says it takes between 3-5 days to get the trusted account. I put $5.00 in the wallet and then waited. After 11 days, still got the nice message on the safety of players in the game....I sent a ticket to support. They said from what they see I have a trusted account. I went back to the game. Still could not transfer equipment to my alts. Sent a new ticket to Steam support. Oh we have to verify your credit card. Excuse me? You took my 100 dollars that I put in my wallet on April 6, purchased crystalline aura for 180 days (about $50.00) the same day, and then on April 7 you need to verify my credit card? So I had to "verify" my card (Steam test transaction is still pending on my account by the way, 6 days after it was made). Card which is used on my primary Steam account where I have 166 games and am level 12 (that's for the trolls who will say that this account is level 0 and that I am a gold seller, I am AFK fishing in BDO on my primary account). After that I verified that I could play the game. Amazon Games was useless and not interested. No point telling them that I have been an Amazon Prime customer for a long time (with the same credit card than used by Steam by the way). The only answer was: it's Steam. Ah so Steam is integrated in Lost Ark and prevents me from sending a ring to one of my alt. The developer has nothing to do with it? OK....I am so disgusted that I have not played the game since. Players are safe now.

In Lost Ark "trusted accounts" are Steam accounts that have 2FA activated (Steam Guard). See: https://www.amazongames.com/en-us/support/lost-ark/articles/account-restrictions
The "trusted" status you discuss above only refers to Steam community features.

1: This thread is over a year old and things may have changed.

2: You didn't fully read the article you linked.

The first option is for new players to enable the Steam Guard mobile authenticator, and have a Steam profile that’s no longer a ‘Limited User’ account and is Steam Trusted on the platform. This path that won’t require making any Lost Ark purchases. Note: It may take several hours for your account to become Steam Trusted after activating two-factor authentication for the first time.

The very first point clearly states that you need both Steam Guard and to no longer be Limited. A limited user on Steam is any user that has not made a $5 purchase on the platform: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/71D3-35C2-AD96-AA3A

If you're going to necro a thread, at least have your information straight. "Trusted Status" is the term Amazon used a year ago to describe accounts that follow the criteria in the article you linked.

sorry, but so if I don't put in the stream wallet or spend €5 I'm not considered a "trusted"?

sorry for my poor english

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
