This where you go wrong. You assume that what YOU do has major relevance to the value of what you do. It doesn't.

If there's no pvp, then gear value will drop sharply because there's much less you can do with it and also because the pve isn't what has been focused on when developing the game.

If the gear value drops, then ALL items follow; all of it. If everything is majorly inflated but there's no interest in making purchases, you gonna see this game take a nose dive right into the dirt. It ALL about SILVER, ALL. And that goes hand in hand with the elite pushing boundaries in the upper tiers. Without that, you got nothing. Silver is completely worthless without the upper tier constantly pushing. There will be no such tier on a pve server, because there's nothing to do with the gear. You don't pve a year+ to get gear so you can pve a year+ more. No, that is left unsaid. You do it to reach somewhere. You might be full pve, there's a lot of them out there, but if there's no one to compare with, there's no reason for you to pve either cause you do it to stand above and look shiny. U don't put a year into that unless there is a lot of others looking all shiny up there. The ones who put the most into this, naturally, want to put it to good use and show them noobs who the KING is.

I swear it, silver rest on upper tier pvp ambitions. You cut that and u cut the game. It not about u, it about everyone. It's a long chain and at the end of it is pvp, that the anchor. You can't make this game a pve game because really, it's a silver game into pvp. U may not want that or ever go pvp, but that doesn't change anything. Your majestic lifeskill ranking mean NOTHING if there's no pvp champions, trust me; nothing. Worthless. It's only a mark of someone who wasted time. Manos worth NOTHING without pvp.

I hope u get ur trial pve servers, complete with pve characters. The reception will be lukewarm, chilling fast. I hope you get it. But you won't, cause the developers know EXACTLY what I'm talking about and to them it's just a guaranteed failure.

Did you really just do a Smileybones there and ignore the actual text and replace it with your own?  You did ;)

An expert already explained to you the basic functionality of the farm.  You have to WAIT for your crops to finish before you can acquire the resources.  I can't believe you actually made that argument.  You have no idea how bad it looks.

By your definition PVE servers should have a 50% drop boost.  This would be balanced out by the over crowding and people fighting over resources.

How a PVE would get over crowded is still a mystery.  Since everyone plays BDO for the PVP so it literally makes no sense.

You want to say:

A: PVP is a necessity for the game and everyone needs it

AND

B: PVE servers would be OVER CROWDED.  Meaning TO MANY people WANT PVE servers.  SO MANY in fact they wouldn't even work because TO MANY PEOPLE want to PVE ;)

Chewbacca wins again, it just don't make sense.

I want to say, and have been saying, this the whole time regarding PvPvE and BDO in general:

A: Sandbox aspect needs to remain in tact. Sandbox implies non-restrictive gameplay for all within the confines of the game's systems. PvE only server is a restrictive server, restricting a gameplay style (PvPvE).

B: PVE server may or may not be overcrowded, I've never stated the server would be overcrowded, but that grind locations will be messy, unorganized and devoid of methods to resolve grind spot conflicts. The server itself being overcrowded is not determinable, objectively, without first seeing it. Season is not a reasonable comparison due to an influx of players who only do season for the rewards.

You might take joy from telling yourself nice things about yourself (LUL). People don't usually need to fluff themselves up with such vigor if they know they're actually correct.

Fact of the matter remains, you're on an illegitimate non-linked account - indicating you, or at least this account, doesn't play BDO. Further indicating you have zero clue about how things really are, so you need to concoct made-up scenarios to justify your position.

Who TF initailly says they were AFK Processing in a combat area (your literal words), to then say they were waiting for crops to finish? Like, how in the world do you confuse those two things? And who stands around their farm waiting?  Players do other things while crops are growing, don't you have other things to do instead of standing around waiting to harvest crops (lul?)?  Oh yeah that's right -- you have no clue what you're talking about and make things up as you go.

Also, you wouldn't have to pull a complete strawman argument (your A and B strawman, and pretty much every refute) if you had a legitimate concern in the first place, which, you do not, being that your account itself is illegitimate (non-linked).

Let's meet in-game. Would you like to meet me, or anyone else here, in-game?

A: Your definition of Sandbox is INCORRECT

I don't need Goole or Wiki to even assist with definition.  My answers are superior anyway.  Sandbox is just a general term generally comparing it to a Theme Park.  The Theme Park is more like a set agenda.  The Sandbox is more open and non linear.

At NO POINT does this REQUIRE access to specific content.  BDO does not tranisition from a Sandbox into a Theme Park when you play Arsha or Olvia.

"It makes me sad when I read people getting griefed and seemingly cannot find a way to avoid / circumvent it."

Except you are LYING.  PVE servers are a way for people to avoid or circumvent the toxic OWPVP atmosphere.  So don't pretend you are SAD about things you intentionally try to stop.

Z: What is the character level requirement for a discussion about Sandbox?  Are you qualified by your own standards to even make those comments?  Does that discussion require Professional trading?  Or Artisan Fishing?

Do you see how this analysis is absolutely destroying your credability?  And how WRONG you are for trying to qualify people's statements?

You are trolling as much as the pro-PKers are trolling. Of course the game doesn't provide a choice to opt out of forced PvP. And the reason for the is simply financial gains. The Devs know that they can make much more money for less effort. By oftering the Weak players in this game as tribute to the Whales. So the Whales each can pay them $10,000s to $100,000s, to impose themselves on you and others. 

Once you figure that part out. You can abandon all hope for normal PvE servers. Because if they stop feeding the Whales content. The Whales leave for the next P2W MMO. Where they can use their money to dominate others.

Or else they'd have to do like other MMORPG dev teams. Which is invest a bit of money to continue making decent and fun content. So that gamers in mass are willing to pay for subs and cosmetics in the cash shops. So far I have yet seen a Korean dev team take such a approach. Nor do I think they ever will.

So the best thing that people like yourself can do. Is just vacate these types of games. Until it ends like all the other P2W Korean MMOs. Where there are like under a thousand players, which consists of Whales and F2Pers only playing. Then go find you a high quality PvE MMORPG that you like. And point and laugh when the game has barely anyone playing.

I think you miss read something to say "You are trolling as much as the pro-PKers are trolling. Of course the game doesn't provide a choice to opt out of forced PvP"

that's a yes & no given how is setup the karma setting & how pked dont have penalty for beeing pked and why you have "karmabombing" word creation.

You idea on paper work, yet given the game reality beside for the "I kill another player like a mob with my gear power" the game actualy dont give power to thoses guys ( and that's why most of thoses pk lover here are sad about and would love to see be changed )

Why "abandon hope" it litteraly cost nothing to make noise about that on the official forum, it would, or not work, but as i invest less time in thoses topic than in the BDO afk simulator, why not ;)

But i understand that your crusade seem now to convice players to definitely leave BDO because "you do so" & maybe tackle them. But whatever

All of the things you accuse him of doing. You have and are doing all them yourself. You even threw in a Ad Hominem at the end there. Because you know what you say is not only BS but also intolerable of another person's opinion. All a person has to do is look through your post history. To understand the type of person your are at least far as BDO goes. And honestly you remind me of the bigot Trump supporters.
