Add Convert Party to Platoon option

Party leaders should have the option to convert parties into a platoon in the party leader menu.

Additionally, when a party invites more than 5 people to their group, a prompt should go to the leader asking if he'd like to convert the party into a platoon. When 5 or less people are in a party, the leader should be able to select "Convert to party" and return the group to a party.

Currently, to do this, everyone has to leave and reinvite and this can be a huge pain since you are met with errors due to being in a party already, having to make sure everyone has left the party, and oftentimes this happens during action such as PvP and is generally a nuisance.

Excuse the crude freehand. I think this is a universal quality of life upgrade. Upvote please!

I think this feature should be a reality from a long time ago. Why isn't it yet I wonder...

Personally in any MMO I had played before this was possible. Why isn't in BDO? xD

I know it was possible back in the day with a bit of a trick, but not anymore after an update a few years back. Would be nice to have this again.

I think every MMO i have played automatically converts a party into a platoon and has a notice saying "PLATOON CREATED" or whatever. I see this as something they may have overlooked and is a great QoL addition to the game. +1!!

PS PA... Don't forget to downgrade a platoon to a party when the party shrinks back to 5 players! lol... (given there's no need for plats under certain scenarios)

As long as this isnt automatic, because in some cases you may prefer a platoon to a party :D

Oh? I didn't know there were instances like this. When would this be necessary? Could said scenarios be converted so plats are not needed?

Whenever you want to make sure that someone you have in the party cannot steal your drops, basically (eg when leeching mob kills only).

Also, testing purposes (checking if certain things work or not, having different party settings can be quite useful, eg when sharing elixir buffs and other buff sharing etc)

Yeah, this is why in my suggestion I recommend it being a party leader option to convert it back to a party from platoon and vice versa.
