@Smileybones.........I have been here when you had to repair your sailors every time you went into the dock from doing the Sailies, back in the day of RAMMING.......it isn't any thing new to me.  Just think that there is enough in game stuff that we repair them for......being sunk, leveling them up, etc.

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.

o.0 only reason was to tie it to pearl shop?

doesnt the sailor medallions exist... and the ship skin

iirc sailor medal was with launch of ocean update... ship skin came in later   

i dont remember when wharf increase coupons were added but those are for sea content as well.... heck  the rez item for mounts work on ships and those tie ocean content to pearl shop as well...

lots of stuff tie pearl shop to ocean content  so they needed add the sailor sickness JUST to have a reason to tie ocean content to pearl shop... stuff was alrdy doing that  

True but non of those pearl shop items were one renewable items that would sell more than once per account, and non of them literally revolved around a mechanic that litearlly only exist in the game to frustrate players. Tell me 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? How many people cared or complained when the mechanic was disabled 2 years ago exactly? Why should this mechanic be reinstated into the game exactly? Which part of it contributes to us enjoying the game?
