If there's one thing PA needs to do is keep old game modes around make them profitable.

Lifeskills, pve grinds, dungeons/ raids, gamemodes, and pvp all need to be able to make similar money per hour. Heck they could even base this on player gear score( since higher gear goes up more money you need.) I mean you look at grind zones now similar AP areas are always around the same profit per hour with some being more based on RNG then others. You could even make some thing weekly that you have the option to do but don't have to.

So what if the game  looked at your gear score and for these extra game modes rewarded you accordingly per hour for participating ( not afking).

Bdo is a sandbox where you choose what to do thats what it used to be at least. Nowadays the best money is grinding in a circle lifeskilling doesn't hold a candle to it.

Bdo could be a way better game then it is now if it stopped scrapping  good ideas and actually built apon them. All these game modes and side activities add variety and keep people playing removing these side activities is what causes people to quit over time and causes the burnout.

Because let's face it no one wants the only worth while money I. The game to come from grinding in a circle!  We need options!

I'm a ffxiv player I can tell you what keeps me playing that game is variety in my content.

People are afraid that doing to much instanced content will pull away from the open world and personally I don't think this is the case. Look at how they have implemented dungeon content so far there is still open world elements to it. Honestly I would love to have them have keys drop for the dungeons from group grinding locations to incentivise group play more for PVE. I think that would be super cool.

( shakey bays idea btw)

# BRING BACK SHADOW ARENA

This last thing is really simple shadow  arena was a unique gamemode that had hackers and cheapers in it and rather then Crack down on the cheaters they just removed it straight up. PA this mode was fun wasn't the most balanced but it was fun. If you just added a silver reward to it per hour  and fixed the hacking issue it's a top mode in your game. Again even if this was brought  back say 1 time a week or maybe 1 time a month and rotate through  different modes. Just add variety.

Same can be said for 

Altar of Blood

The gun tower Rift thing( forgot the name of  it)

What about that cool leveling thing in kama on top the mountain that no one does anymore? 

All neat ideas not given the love they deserved. 

I doubt they will listen to this feedback. But I have to try something  at this point. BDO has always had potential but it never reaches where it could.

amen
