After seeing what is coming in next patch, I get the feeling sea content is being slowly killed in game.

What is in water that would cause a sailor to become sick, other than sea monsters and Pirates.  Isn't that enough?

Before "event" removed its completelly, its was already changed to be easy, you can't get decrease event from exploring and you can buy restoration food from warf manager.

tl dr its was already very fair before event.

I don't see how. You've always meant to be careful when traveling through the sea as you are when you go through the desert/snow.

Profit wise, a lot of things are tanking. Make way for the old meta because it's coming back!

Sailor sea sinkness was in the game when they first added the new sea content, so it not new. But the fact that they're re-enable it is lol. The mechanic it self literally only exists because PA needed a reason to tie ocean content to the cash shop like they do with everything. Why do I say this because there an item in the cash shop that cures Sailor sea sickness. Sure you can spend 10m in the market an hope your order for the craftable elixir is filled (good luck with that cause soon there going to be all sold out just like compass pieces, carrots, an food buff items) or try craft them your self which is pure aids to do (cause what would be the point of the cash shop version if the craftable one wasn't aids to make?).

Basically though this is another example of PA deliberately putting flawed game design mechanics into the game so they can sell us the solution in the cash shop. But what can you expect PA has been doing this to BDO for years. And its why I keep stating that BDO could be a much more enjoyable game if PA spend more time developing enjoyable an fun content in the game, and less time thinking of predictory and punishing ones to add into the game to encourage cash shop sales.

@Contorto you have very valid points...I have spent my share of pearls to rez my ship and enough raisin bread to feed an army.  But those barters will have sick sailors?  There isn't enough in game silver to keep them afloat if they are trying to build up sea coins or parts for next level ship unless they were rich going into sailing

Easily fixed problem. Disembark your sailors.

They hardly made any point. Same QQ and conspiracy theories happened when they released great expedition because people didn't understand mechanics.

Same thing is happening now: people like you see "sailors can be sick again" and they freak out without paying attention to actual mechanics.

There is nothing wrong with sailors getting seasick but what I and many have trouble coming to terms with is the fact that you have to be at a wharf to cure that sickness. How many sailors would die if they had to wait to reach a wharf to be fed or given medicine. One should be able to feed them on the boat at sea just as you can repair your boat or even more stupidly, feed your boat to recover its stamina. 

If you manage your rations properly, there is almost no chance your sailors will ever get sick.

Yet why can't I feed my sailors without a wharf manager? I know to increase the chance of them getting sick thus increase the chance PA sells the cash shop item to cure the sickness. Which part of these mechanic for sea sickness is rewarding, interesting, fun, or well thoughtout exactly to warrant it's bad design chooses and the a cash shop item that cures sickness existing in the shop?
