Huh? Destroyer is not even released yet.
Mage are very rare. Berserkers most common.

On my server Berserkers are only slightly more common than Sorceresses. These are the top 2 by a massive margin since they are easiest for bots to use.

Runs faster than mounts, runs through walls, instantly appears out of nowhere then disappears.

Might be a different gold seller then. My server may have been monopolized by a gold seller who likes berserkers.

Perhaps. I crunched the numbers one time and zerkers are 17% of our server while sorceresses are 15.8%. Then the next closest classes are Deathblade/Shadowhunter at 8.4%

Your post is missing a few things.

1. There are bot programs to run every class in the KR version of the game. That being said, a large majorty of observed bots are Berserker, Sorceress and Artillerist. When there's a full SDK of Lost Ark out there (the AGS version in specific.) it won't matter how complex a class is to operate, there will be bot programs for it. Especially given the sophistication of the pathfinding they have now.

2. Nearly all the bots are using speed cheats, and since using those at all is a TOS violation, it's reasonable to simply ban anyone using them.

3. Gibberish Name is actually going to be a problem, with the whole 'it takes 60 days for a deleted character's name to be freed up' situation. Since they've been using 'first or last name + a few letters' that's going to eat up a lot of names actual players might end up trying to use.

So yeah...

Yo I dont want to be mistaken as the bot lol.
I don't have title.
No guild and my name is kinda cringe...hope people won't report me lol.

[Mr. Fibble]

I'm kind of amazed my artillerist hasn't been flagged as a bot since they're currently unguilded, title-less. I generally turn off fluff like player titles to reduce clutter and haven't really seen the point of having a meaningless title.

I've mostly been using them to farm mobs for the tome drops which means camping a spot for an hour or so chuckling as the train of berserkers run a larger loop and fail to kill the ones in the section I've taken for myself.

And of course the stupidity of blocking players from area chat until 30 probably wouldn't help if anyone actually wanted to chat or accuse.

Just log in to play at 4am and go to first locations, there are like 100 bots per location, some are even overlaping with each other, pretty damn funny if you ask me
