Title: Stop treating us like lifeskill class

Also mentioning, we are not even a good lifeskill class, as Musa is much better for gathering for example. Once again thank you, but not.
Take a look at what the devs themselves think of us. Thats how they think of us.

EDIT 1 : After thinking, in a matter of seconds, they actually made me think, is it even worth it putting hours on a class/game that doesnt even respect you and joke about you? Is it really worth it? This is something every Shai and of course other classes should consider. If they dont care about you player, and even joke at you as seen here, is it worth it? I'm considering quitting. Maybe not, because lifeskilling aspect is something i like. But there is limits to disrespect. And to be very honest, they dont even deserve anyone playing Shai after what they said.
I completely agree.
I think it is also very disrespectful to tell us that, Quote: "Shai is an enjoyment class first and sacrifices combat efficiency".
Shai Mains on any server have been asking for Shai buffs pretty much since the release of the class because we have always been close to or at the bottom of the ranking in any PvE Solo content, which is 90% of Black Deserts content. And just telling every Shai player that we pretty much should shut up about asking our class to be average-decent (we are not even asking to be broken) or treat us fairly like other classes (Dandelion, Blackstar, taggable Sol - Succ, Awa for Solo, Group) is not acceptable. You think we should rather just accept that we play a subpar roleplaying class that apparently does not deserve to be average at the games main content.
This is very demotivating and will just lead to fewer players enjoying or even playing the most unique class in the game. If you continue to treat Shai like this it will just lead to players either playing a different class or quitting the game entirely.
You have to acknowledge that Shai is in a very bad state and finally give her the treatment she deserves!
I don't want to dress up a Shai in doll clothes. I don't want to play music with Shai. I don't want to dance with Shai.
Apparently that's the dev's focus, and no other class gets to enjoy any of that.
Ask for Black Star Sol; get Bull Shit Dance.
I love the dance especially her goofy facial animations but let's be honest. If I could trade that dance which I really wanted for a long time for being treated less like a lifeskill class I would gladly trade it. They said "our vision" but who is "us"? I feel like the shai fandom want the same thing but the developers want something completely different. You don't sell ice to eskimos so why sell us a "lifeskill" class that doesn't have an inherit advantage over other classes?
Shai ain't no goddamn lifeskill class. I really wish they stopped saying that cuz she's not. I'm a very open minded person about things but this is not fair in the slightest. I am very happy with the dance cuz dude hell yeah, but Shai being a lifeskill class?! dude for god's sake the class is a damn class.
At this point why did they even bother putting her in if they're just gonna treat her like a freaking kid 🙄
the dance is horribly uncanny valley and that onley shai got it, makes it very clear that we are a joke to them and only good for RP and Lifeskilling.
If they would see us as a real class, they would actual have to work on our "special things" like Sol, Blackstar, and the Problem of DP Builds alltogether
She isn't a life skill class but an enjoyment/rp class. They said they have no plans on changing that either.
