Well, above all EAC should allow the coexistence of the 2 latest versions for one week, so that games can get updated during this time and players are not bothered with this.

EAC is the reason I barely play this game anymore. I started logging in again a few days before Woosa release so i could finish leveling some horses i started months ago. Woosa is the ONLY reason I'm playing right now. Since I can't AFK and play other games, then I'd rather play other games. I've spent hundreds of dollars on this game in the last 2 years, but in the last 6 months PA hasn't got a dime. I know it's not really their fault, but I had to chose and BDO lost. Once this season is over, maybe I'll come back when Maegu is released until that season is over. FYI, what I quit BDO for was Genshin Impact. It's a far more entertaining and a lot more things to do in the game to keep me entertained far far longer than BDO would. So you guys can bitch about which game is better than the others. People are being forced to make a choice, PERIOD and BDO is going to lose. The ONLY way for me to come back to BDO is if Genshin fell off the earth right now.
Also, if you want to talk about "crappy" games, consider this:
Over the past year, every quarter, PA has been losing money. This is from 9 November regarding Q3 earnings:
The company’s July-to-September net profit came in at 21.3 billion won ($15.6 million)
Genshin Impact surpasses $3.6 billion (lifetime) revenue ahead of second anniversary
The game made $12 million revenue on day of Version 3.0 release.
IN ONE DAY THEY MADE $12 MILLION, compared to $15.6 in a quarter for PA AND that includes earnings from their other game title: EVE Online

Boy, are you really comparing the revenue of one company with the net profit of the other?
I want to make you aware, that there is a huge difference between those two financial terms.
Q3 revenue of PA was $71.8 million.
Can not find much of the net profit of Mihoyo, but I can imagine they paid streamers tons of money to open tons of gamble boxes on stream, specially since gambling does not have the best image in the streaming community, they need to offer good money for streamers go onstream making 90% of the game content about gambling and not playing the actual game.

Since EAC doesn't allow other games to run while BDO is open (See Genshin Impact, Lost Ark, or other games with EAC) the AFK community has dropped considerably. There are fewer ships bartering, fewer people by the warehouses, fishing, with alchemy or cooking.
Only in the last 30 days, and only with the Steam Client, that rate is about -11,20% concurrent players.
I know that this is not only about EAC, and that the rate fluctuates... but is doing a great damage to afk players...
I've even noticed less people chatting in the general chat.
Its a good thing if less AFK people are online lol..
Better server performance, less people that block the market npc, better framrate in towns, and if you talk to people they actually reply, cause they not afk since hours.
