Welcome to Gatekeeping Ark

[The Beatles]

Thats why i'm afraid of losing my Mokoko status, because with that atleast people expect that i'm still learning and when they accept me they do knowing these consequences, in that way they don't think i'm a troll and i'm not kicked mid raid and don't lose my weekly entry count.

The Mokoko status today should go to atleast 1541 and below 120 roster level and needs to have a personal duration that the player can extend as much he/she wants or end himself when he/she feels ready, theres people that started playing days ago that is above 1490 and lost their Mokoko status, these people will skip Velganos, Valtan and Vykas and will go directly to Kakul Saydon and Brelshaza legion raids without the proper experience of doing mecs, this makes hard for both sides of Fast and Progression partyes, the Fast side will gatekeep more and the Progression partyes will suffer from lack of Mokokos because all the new players now can easily reach 1540 with this Hyper Mokoko Express.

I will lock my item level below 1490 until i think i'm experienced enought of legion raids below Brelshaza because these Mokoko buffs helps alot for the lack of Grudge and the 30% damage reduction buff that makes the legion raids more forgiving and i'm saying this as a support player which has the natural advantage of Heavy Armor and shields, just imagine a Mokoko that reaches 1490 within days with a Gunslinger, Sorceress or Arcanist, it will be a hellish experience to say the least, putting them at 1540 without the Mokoko buff will just overall make the gatekeep worse.

LA community. What else.

The gatekeeping is going to get worse because they've disincentive people to carry. Most of the people who have been farming cards for LOS30 and LWC30 are done. The gold reduction means you have to do Clown/Brelz/Kayangel at minimum to not fall behind.

Listen, what gamer who actually values his time, has a job or other obligations and has standards continues to spend time or money in this game?
None!
Those who do, are easily in one way or another either toxic or hopeless or fallen victim to the manipulations.
What is left are toxic gamers who are forced by the game to grind with each other.
So they only want other toxic gamers around them who are willing to do perfect runs cause every failed run means more wasted time.

1600+ min req soon and then they're wondering why nobody playing lmao

[Double Dark]

The game doesn't respect your time, so it's hard to blame people for gatekeeping. Hard to get all of the dailies and weeklies in along with raids every week when it only takes 1 person to screw up the raid and jail you. Good luck replacing people in gate2 of anything. The guild system also sucks and there's fewer and fewer players every month, so helping new players doesn't seem worth the time.

[Densiz]

core system is bad. You cant waste time in lost ark, you have to be a min/max player

im not defending gatekeeping btw. i dnt even play the game anymore thanks to another arpg.

thing is now with hyper express and reduced resources to hone till 1580, it got easier to hone alts, the median ilvl range population its gonna be raised.

Try to imagine, im a lead, i create the lobby, i see applying lots of 1540+ characters and you 1520, why would i pick you if i can secure a faster clear.

This has nothing to do with difficoulty of encounter, at least for first raids, experience like roster lvl has less impact as a requirement for choosing peoples, what matter most is just ilvl.

Of course the alt nature of the game contributes to make that everyone wants to do their homework as fast as possible, but do you think in an ipotetical scenario, where there is only 1 raid a week, would i still pick you despite most peoples are better geared than you?
Maybe would be better, maybe i can take a mokoko here and there, just because i want to help, but realistically its not gonna change that much imo.

Solution -> make/apply to lobbies equal or less geared than you

That 100%.
But there's no problem playing a game like LA as long as you are aware of how predatory and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it is.
I play a lot of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ games too, and I like them. Does that bother anyone?
No!
I can admit that I waste time and money on those ♥♥♥♥♥♥ games.
What's kind of mental, though, is when people tell you lies about ♥♥♥♥♥♥ games and try to lure in new players with false pretenses.

Ofc, the solo player experience can be super harsh if you are kinda a casual player and dont have enough time to spend in the game, so ye if you are that kind of player and makes you unhappy you should absolutely stop playing.
However that issue can potentially be eliminated if you play with friends, there are plenty of discord servers for the purpose of finding peoples with your same level of experience to play with and form static groups

It's made that way so you start investing and the sunk-cost fallacy starts kicking in. You get passes but you still need alts. That's why refer to the passes/moko buff as a fast track to pain.

[Itrace4]

THATS NOT GATEKEEPING. WHEN YOU GET REFUSED, IT MAY BE BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE IS HIGHER LEVE, LOBBY WAITING ON FRIENDS, THEY WANT ANOTHER SYNERGY.

Maybe they knew you were whiny af
