Grinding...boring

Gathering....boring

Other lifeskill activities ....mind numbing

PVP.....waste of time and silver

Gearing....pointless because of AP caps

PVE activities...boring

"Content" Patch cycles ....to long

Even the cashshop is making me yawn with all the sales like the game is begging ppl to buy something.  

Where is the fun?  If it werent for AFK mechanics, this game would had been dead years ago lol.

Its just not your type of game, thats all.

you need to take a break from BDO and try something else or do something productive in life.

Yea it's dead, but it's up to you to not be dead. Have to find something to do or quit, basically. I enjoy just doing whatever I feel. If you have that 'urge' to progress and are lacking motivation, it could just be burn out.

I just like to mess around. It's not bad for that.

I'd say the game started to die when they gave out TRI bossgear and then has continued to go down with all the other insane stuff they added. COVID was big for this game. Perhaps it was dead in general without COVID, but as I said, it's still BDO. The combat is still fluid, even grinding mobs. I mean, you should not be bored grinding mobs. If you find yourself doing the same attack rotation vs mobs that take like 7 combos to kill, then maybe step back a bit. Go stomp out some lower tier mobs.

"Grinding" is a term I dislike... because I dislike grinding. Just do what you wanna do, and if there is no content left that you enjoy, then yea, you're done. The game is dead though... I still think it could be opened up if they added in more player to player interaction, esp trading and crafting. They focus so much on new PvE stuff, but it's always gonna be samey. Pvp is never gonna be balanced. Yet, we are restricted in helping our friends out or playing together with them in a different way.

That's an actual infusion that might get people into the game, but in general, yeah, the attrition rate is really bad at this point, too.

we know that since 2016, you say nothing new we dont know 

A lot of ppl just waiting for a new game, this game has become little more than waiting room until a better game comes along, doesn't need to be an MMO; D4 coming up, will be ideal to take a break in my case, will be back to BDO when I got nothing better to do.

There won't be any new mmo coming out soon tho, so they gotta wait for long.

Yes, yes they will if they're waiting for an MMO, but D4 around the corner, a lot of people going to take a break, or are already with the Beta atm. But they'll come back....they always do...same with me, but I'll wait for full release.
