As PVP players leave, some are trying to disrupt the game by targeting PVE players. Lifeskill griefing is now a serious issue. People are misusing game mechanics to harm others, sinking ships (even for 49 fishing alts), attack wild horses, and even targeting players caught in horse capture animations. This kind of griefing has become intallerable and would be devestating for new players. It's time to acknowledge that BDO has the potential to be an excellent PVE game. With a fresh marketing campaign, Pearl Abyss can attract new players. 

We can bring back cooperative play in BDO with a few changes. Adjusting the loot system so that anyone who hits a mob receives loot would encourage teamwork. Currently, farming solo is often easier and more rewarding. This small tweak could lead to enjoyable and profitable co-op gameplay!

I appreciate your efforts to enhance lifeskilling! Thank you for revitalizing fishing! I'm excited to see the improvements you will bring to gathering, cooking, training, alchemy, and more!

Thank you!

All time high? The game is empty. Your math doesn't math.

It seems that many frustrated PVP players are unintentionally undermining the game. Just when you gear up for a battle, they vanish, seeking out easier targets instead. The era of competing for a coveted spot has faded away. Now, we find ourselves in a time dominated by AFK fishing boat attackers (two people are teaming up to kill level 49 lifeskiller boats), horse killers, and other outright griefers.

...That's been in the game since launch. People have always tried to find ways to kill or stun afk lifeskillers. Once again - all time high? No. Just pure hyperbole. There aren't enough players left for anything to be at an all time high.

Its just the next anty PvP propaganda that has nothing close to reality. Let the OP post video how he is farmed non stop every day. He cant. Cos he is full of bs.

all i can say to this nonsense if you dont wanna die stay in velia, if you dont wanna die outside velia stay level 49, if you die while life skilling get good at the game, PS: You are delusional

If only there were systems in place to prevent such evil things.

Someone should suggest perhaps a tick box preventing kidnapping, or making it possible a certain level or area was safe.

Nah...

Technically there are now such channels...

But those problems are completely non-existant here, at least where I am. When's the next PvE topic for selfish reasons or as if that happens almost all the time? Not to mention that by reading the OP, I find several contradictions in itself.

I'm a lifeskiller main, I make most of my silver from lifeskilling. Haven't been killed once in my two months since returning, despite MANY hours of gathering on a level 60 character. ONE time I got chased off anon arsha while gathering truffles, but I understood the risk of going to either Arsha for truffles so I don't blame the ones that went after me. If this was really at an "all time high", I wouldn't be spending so much time on Sheep Mountain.
