This is incorrect. Buying in-game currency is against game TOS, and this is worth it for all games not only Lost Ark. There is no difference between hand farmed or bot except that bot is riskier to get caught.
You have purchased a large amount of gold and this is the probably reason why you are banned. I don't see it as the seller's fault here, he delivered what you asked, only mistake he did is that he falsely advertised his service, as he is reselling gold so he can't know if is hand farmed or used bot. For this reason the last transaction you will gave to pay 50% instead of the full amount.
A decision is already made, ban in 48 hrs if payment is not issued
This is also incorrect, buying in-game currency is against game TOS in all games when you buy the gold with money outside the game thats correct, but the different between buying from a personal account (that is made from hand farmer gold) and bots is that if a bot is banned then everyone involved is banned,and if is from hand farmer that mean you can just do a "random dungeon" get the gold and buy a item on market and thats it nobody notice, 0 risk, if this were a risk then in lost ark all these people selling runs from the raids or selling high price items would be all banned but no.( thats why I wanted to buy from a hand farmer).
from a bot seller is different and we all know about this.
I bought a large amount of gold FROM HIM (and only him) If I knew before he was doing reselling from people that are using bots or some suspicious hacks to get the gold then I would just buy from another person, just like I did 1 time to a guy from his personal account.
also last transaction it would be only 20k or 40k or 50k or 100k who knows if he completed the transaction on here?. this is not being fair, since I lost more than he already lost from his false advertise. also right now is 50% less cheaper than he was selling.
so my answer is no. I'm not gonna pay for something that harmed me , losing hundreds of $, losing my account (getting it back with negative result) from his false advertise is where I'm saying is his fault. he delievered what I asked but I asked him before if it was farm hand first.
If you going to ban me go ahead, I contribude with all the information and communication that I could share to you, I have never been a bad buyer since I sold a lot of stuff and bought a lot of stuff on epicnpc, even using middle guardian and paying fees, even bought a lot of times credits on epinpc, so I have no reason to be a bad buyer.
but to let you know you're not being fair.
so Thank you for your time and contribution.
Good day.
