I consider reduced drop rate as pointless, since people would think twice whether they do or do not want to risk someone grinding over them. There is also a risk at PvE server, you see.

Yet whatever - make it zero drop rate right away, since this should be a lifeskill server and I do not have any problem using regular servers for grinding. No one is going to grind there with reduced drop rate anyways.

Moreover, there could be lifeskill xp bonus, so that it is clear what the server is about.

PS: From the very beginning, I see that you skew what this thread was originally about. I know that most ppl here do not care about lifeskillers, but stealing threads that are supposed to help them a bit constitutes bad manners to say the least...

Because devs want it to be like that? At one point, I don't know what else can be said about it?

Normal servers with the basic settings (and right now, these servers are not that much different from pve servers), Arsha with its increased drop rate, Marni with its semi efficient rotations, seasons and their gear restrictions...

But you should just keep asking for it, J is stubborn after all so you may get what you want eventually. Even if it makes no sense in BDO. 

Apparently they do want it to be like that.  There are MANY risk reduction actions that don't reduce rng

Well, J may want it like that now. Everything is possible with such a guy. 

I am not thrilled with him either.  PvP disabled servers already exist with higher benefits, so the point is moot 

It should be an option. The PVP's are just butt scared it would be super popular and they'd be left on empty servers.
