Then you will never play a good MMO again unless any of these new ones make a mark.  BDOs combat will spoil anyone myself included however if you look at how little depth it actually has for most of the classes doing 1-2 main combos after a CC you will realize FFXIVs/ WOWs combat actually has more depth to it in how it actually functions and the fights are not pushovers that melt in a few seconds. PVP however I have to give it to BDO however  BDOs PVP is a sinking ship with extreme balance and flow issue.

The fact is that if you combine the active players of ALL of the action combat games, it's still less than how many players the top tab targeted game alone has, so this is just the loud minority's option.

BDO have shallow combat. It's flashy, so the kids gettign hyped by it, but nothing more. It's glitchy, and riddled with bugs, desync and performance issues. It can't be taken seriously.

i prefer bns combat, but it derailed into p2w waaay to quickly

Which of course doesn't mean that tab target games appeal the majority of gamers and action combat have a niche audience. I mean why display common sense and state facts when you can just spread bs and propaganda.

FF14 is popular cause the cat girls, everyone knows this, yet PA not add them to bdo, no wonder why bdo is so unpopular...

Tab target non tab target I could care what the combat like, only reasons I don't play FF14 is because it outdated game loop design of log in do your dailies than nothing left to do so log out. Game's should have more to offer than just doing some dailies and feel like a job. But even PA is now just doing the daily quest design at this point I'm debaiting just going back to EVE online at this point with how trash the MMORPG market is and how patheticly no one has even tried to compete with BDO when they could easily do it and win (I mean literally all they'd have to do is make an open world throw some mobs in it have actions combat and be even 2% less P2W there  literally not much to compete with here). And PA may own publishing rights to EVE online but at-least CCP still the company making the developing it and gaming the decisions for the game.

I will agree with this BNS had interesting combat however its boss fights were pushovers the only real mechanic was the enrage timer. I could 2 person a boss and we would die because of the timer not because we couldnt fight the boss kinda bleh
