Yes for three years or more week after week BDO allows the Griefing of a Local RP hub the Lily valley inn to occur.  The Elephants in the INN are an exploit that BDO  has acknowledged and No matter the complaint's refuses to punish the repeat Giuld offenders week after week for using exploits to work the Elephants inside the.. However today,  The Elephants are causing another game play issue. The NPC's are purposefully obstructed. It's not the first time. But the Visibility the NPC Stee which is obstructed carries with it the matter of Purposefully obstructing BDO gameplay visibility and should make the Guild Leader subject to some form of suspension of account with a warning that they do not allow their players to do this again.

Unfortunately, BDO DOES NOT GIVE a poo. They continually allow some folk the ability to grief while enforcing ban among others. 

You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?

Not me I have my own sources of RP... Whats sad is that this sort of Griefing has pretty much shut down the once very lively  RP chatter around hiedel on Calpheon 2. It has caused at least two dozen players I know of to leave BDO.... And these were  Paying customers. All for what?

These were people that kept alive and vibrant BDO's Game lore that lies dead in a pile of steaming, stinking, Flarchen Feathers destined to never be read of told of from here on because basically because the Company doesn't give a rats ass about it's own creation and extensive Quest lines to  realize the community that once thrived in RP in the game has for the most part vanished. So that the Company can keep Griefing jerk offs using bannable exploits in game happy by letting them pass on even the games KNown Exploits which are against TOS.

My Fate is fine. Likely to follow others into other worlds and say .!. BDO

Oh, whoever is doing that is quite obsessed and it's very weird 

Absolutely. Pathetic (and unhappy) are the people that partake in this mostly schadenfreude behaviour. Why PA condones this activity reflects poorly on them. A warning to the perpetrators from PA for this exploit then a 24 hour ban (and so on in increasing increments) for repeated offending would soon stop the anti-social  little rude so-and-so's from doing this. Some people are just so self-centred and rude today, it really begs belief. PA wants their game to thrive? One important aspect is publicly showing that they are willing to impose consequences on those that deliberately and knowingly break the rules across the board in an effort to maintain as healthy a community as possible. This minute minority of the playerbase should be purged. They do not respect others or the game in any way shape or form. They're playing in one of the only ways that is unacceptable; at the expense of someone else's happiness. 

PA would absolutely immediately gain increased respect from the wider gaming community if they took a hard stance on this and other similar anti-social issues. Whether they are astute and professional enough to do so however remains to be seen.

Thnk you for this well stated reply I hope others in the community will respond with  such contrributions

Just have mounts disappear after a small period of time OR an option for OTHERS Mounts to be not seen unless Mounted Or out of Safe Zones. Its freaking simple. It's stupid BDO doesn't do this. 

It's been three years of this.  If not four now.. It's a degrading act that BDO plays a passive aggressive partner against a single aspect of the community in propping up. They target the  pleasure in a MMORPG they claim to be but foster targettign RP aspect of the MMORPG  as players to pick on. The Guild mount elephants has been going on  for  a very long time and BDO recognizes that act as a Exploit, but doesn't nothing to stop it at all. They engage in a habitual yes it's and exploit, but  no we're not doing anything about it because it might interfere with other peoples game play.

It's as another poster stated...

A pathetic way to run a business.
