Yeah, yeah, I get it.  The ol "Whaaaa, nobody should be playing a game that makes them feel awful, and that you're not forced to play" argument.

But explain that to the game developer whose profit margin depends on retaining players.  They'll stare blankly at you and start making changes to their game in front of you, to make it more accommodating for attracting and keeping players.  Which brings me full circle, case and point, Marnie's Realm.

So whether you like it or not, PA is making changes to BDO, making it more accessible to more people so that they can increase their bottom-line.  I just offered a suggestion to BDO's devs on this latest feature since PA is going that way anyway.

Kinda like the old "if you cater specifically to me you will have more money". This one was also heard a thousand times

Truth is that their profit margin is from whales, like every other F2P games, and whales a whalin' for PvP in BDO.

They buy shitons of costumes to melt them to get cron stones, for enhancing for PvP (there are no PvE achievement you can flex about in BDO)

They buy weapon transfer coupons and weight / inventory to reroll for the most OP class in the current meta.

They do so in such proportions that even an army of casual / non whaling but paying players wouldn't be able to rivalize.

The sunk cost fallacy helps retaining them even when the game is made more accessible to the canon fodder (the new players), because new levels of power designed specifically for said whales are introduced in the game at the same time.

That alone has given a company that is less than 10 years old, with only one product released, the abilty to buy another company (CCP) and to finance 3 AAA game projects at the same time. I don't think they need that much advices to run their business.

One should always know what type of game they are investing in from the beginning and not expect the game to change based on their individual wants or needs.

I like BDO but, I wish it was like this or like that because that's my preference" isn't a valid point.

If you feel scared then I would suggest maybe playing a nice relaxing battle royal game like PUBG for example. This should eliminate the whole " fight or flight syndrome as well for you.  

Making the games easyer for new players should not be mistaken with change the core expirience of the game. With that said my opinion is both Marni and Arsha should not exist. Both kinda destrois the need of better and more meanigful karma system. Or bounty outlaw.

The PK system needs to be improved. New Adventurers or fearful Adventurers are too scared to play.
Black Desert is an open-world game designed to allow you go anywhere, and let’s you freely enjoy your choice in playstyle. However, the level of freedom goes up, it means other Adventurers are able to interfere in the adventures of others as you stated. But there are a variety of safeguards put in place that don’t compromise the fundamental freedoms of the game.

First of all, there are many safe zones spread around, including towns and cities, the inability to PK characters under level 50, and the growth server Olvia has forced PvP mode turned off. In addition, we created an environment where Adventurers who recklessly PK are imposed with disadvantages that makes it difficult to harass an Adventurer. On the other hand, for adventurers who want to enjoy PK, we are continuing to develop a variety of PVP content, along with the Battle Arena, Red Battlefield, Arena of Arsha, Node War, Conquest War, and the desert itself.

We will continue to think about ways to make your adventures more enjoyable.

100%.  A Bountry System / meaningful Karma System could make the game much richer and promote player interaction to a huge degree.  How can it not be exploited, though?  Tough call there.  Not sure how they could implement it, TBH, but I wish they would.  They were supposed to, weren't they?  IIRC, about a year ago it was in GLab, but quickly scrapped (Bounty System), wasn't it?

2022 still dreaming about a real Bounty System in BDO.

My god, the world has sank that low of fragility and weakness? Seriously we have a thread here about people so inept at life that they are actually crying that they cannot handle a 100% consequence free death and unable to manage to walk to an area to activate marni realm for 1 hour with out emotional trauma? How did you play this game the prior 5 years? Like you understand the study you are trying to use to support your claim clearly says "some games" not every gaming situation. If you are unable to shrug off a couple empty hollow meaingless deaths in this video game you honestly should seek counsiling you have a problem. The fact that the posts whining about possibly dying in trying to get to marni realm have upvotes tells me this is not uncommon and i weep for humanity. I guess everyone must get aa 10th place trophy told thier special and have safe places. I honestly am shellshocked people are this fragile no wonder the world is going to hell with cancel mobs and social justice. Please go easy on the downvotes i am not sure i can handle the onslaught of fragile social outcasts downvoting me good chance it might send me into depression cause anxiety or lower my self esteem.... Not fire away your down votes are meaningles and effect me in no way (pro tip take my last bit of advice and toughen up butter cups).

Honestly get help if occasionally having a meaningless death trying to access marni realm is traumatic its actually a you problem not a game designer. Please don;t confuse and abuse reasonable concerns about people who want to enjoy the game more without pvp and assanine whines by emotionally unstable people. If occasional conseqence free deaths trying to enter marni realm are traumaticing you it's a you problem and yes you should find another game or other activities. I don;t use marni's realm and I still rarely if ever get pk'd. BTW I am not some pvp warrior I havent won a single pvp fight in BDo in years I am a filthy casual 630 gear score pleb who gets mercilessly stomped by every person who flags on me. I just don;t care I move channels or i try to grind over them, or i swap activities. whatever I do the last thing I would ever do is be harmed by my virtual avatar having a meaningless death I click respawn and get on with it like a normal human would.

Yep, precisely. BDO has been constantly evolving in the same direction, and Marni realm shows exactly in which direction devs are going, once more. Some level of protection for new players, some occasional help to be able to gear up, and the real harsh world for the others. 
You can go undisturbed for 1 hour and 5 minutes every day... And that's it.

Aaaaah yes, for sure.

Arsha has been a mistake from day one. 

And though I'm not against Marni realms (which look like a real "BDO-style" solution to me, in the end), it splits population even more, but they could alleviate this issue by reducing the number of channels, reworking karma system and creating a better sheriff system (I'm skeptical about the idea of putting bounty in the system). 

Marni's realm is great for using the special loot scrolls. I can pop one and make full use of it. As for reducing channel numbers - please don't. It's hell for lifeskilling. 

BDOmonster, although a bit blunt, put it very well imo. Getting killed is not a big deal. I don't understand what's all the fuss about. 

If you are getting stressed over a game maybe you should spend a bit more time on your real life character and a bit less time playing games.
