What about common sense owners that simply like using proper terms ?

My gear is full PEN minus accessories yet I'm both happy to see newer players catching up to me and both displeased to see simpletons misuse terms when proper ones exist and do the job.

= "Free PEN"

+ About a month's worth of weekly quests, each piece

+ Loads of mem frags, BMC's, Concentrated Blackstones

+ Total cost of first "free PEN" armor = 7 - 9ish billion. Price goes up for the second, third, and fourth "free" PEN

What do you mean? It's so "f-reeeee"! /s

Over time this happens to almost everything we buy/make/obtain/etc, both in game and real life. I think anyone that realistically expected otherwise was perhaps being a little naive. The value of an item is often more accurately quantified in what it allows you to do with it, this particularly holds true for gaming items.

People think that blackstar for example is the last/final tier but realistically PA will eventually release a new set of gear. Same with all the accessories and other things in the game. They will move the goal posts around and I think people who are spending 6000 hours trying to get all of this are the ones who will complain when their equipment / horse becomes not-the-best. Same with soft/hard cap levels. They will raise that again. People need to stop playing the game if they are that addicted, it's obvioiusly unhealthy and BDO won't last many more years. We'll be lucky to be playing BDO 3 years from now.

Anyway, going back to the topic at hand... I remember after a year this game came out, there were still no guides and you were shunned for sharing info publicly because it ate into people's profits and grind spots. These days it's still somewhat shunned but not as much, there are guided websites, youtubers and streamers now. Some have dated information, some even have misinformation. I use guides thinking it might be wrong, so always keep an open mind.

It's unrealistic to except anything above fallen good.

That is already 1% sucess chance to PEN at 400FS, what would be above that? 0.1% to PEN at 400FS? kek

New acessoriers? Maybe for some slots, but they not gonna add anything that would destroy the debo value, and I don't think they gonna go over distros either.

Probably stronger belt and rings make sense.

And reform stones for the earrings with the calph elvira. + the last BS part and full fallen good. That's all one could expect, and how lazzy PA is, that will take them more than a year to do that

They're like Mr. Krabs.

Money, money, money, money, money!

Sure, the success rate is low but all the better reason to make an evolution beyond it because MONEY! Give them 2 maybe 3 years tops. This is a pay to win game after all and I honestly don't care what people want to "define" P2W as, this is still very much a P2W game no matter how people try to change the definition to their liking. So anyone who wants to quote me and say "this game isn't P2W", I don't care what they say about it and won't argue their invalid argument. At the end of the day, has Pearl Abyss EVER did anything to earn our trust? No. But that doesn't mean they won't try to be better.

I don't usually call it a "free" pen accessory,   I usually refer to it as a welfare PEN accessory.  Seems most fitting to me.

Another wrong thing being said a lot is that this is a pvp game. 

Yet we rarely see you calling such lies out :o
