Well at this point it is nto up to you to decide but up to GMs who already messaged me back on my report with statement that they will conduct an investigation.

Arguments of most people here are not very good btw. If you all think this behaviour is ok, I am not and I will continue to push agianst it and try to get this fixed.

Thats an automatic respond they always send as answere, in hope the dama fixes itself as you rarely see one player twice ingame. I have already reportet real pedophil and nazi praising chats, just to see nothing happens. And that is not only forbidden by pa it is forbidden by law too, but PA doesnt care. If you think that something has to be fixed, than give an idea how but dont have to much hope that they will take care for. And pls dont say a PVE Server only, because there is such topic plenty times discussed and even i get bored of it. I fully understand that peoples are pissed by doing lifeskilles, getting killed, but i do lifeskilling too and that never happened to me. Ok one time i was attacked and well well.... i killed the player XD The only reaction i got back was:" Active fishing? WHY???? " Because damn outside of a safezone is faster and active way much more fun. Things you can do are: Stay on lvl 49 with your lifeskilling char to prevent to be attacked, even it does not safe your horse. Change the server, because not on all servers are pvp players attacking lifeskillers. Quit game for 30 days to be able to join Olvia server, work hard for best pvp equip, or quit the game forever, as no one will help you.

Shocking how people to this day continue to complain about an issue that is easily solveable through the use of a level 49 character.

Thats right. The game forces you into it because that is the game.  The game is an OW pvp sandbox rpg. Its warning you that you can now be PKed because thats the intention of existing here in the world now. That feeling that you can do anything and that anyone can do something to you and gaining strength will help you turn the tides of the world you are in is what makes games like this so exciting.

It's really not though. Open world pvp hasn't gotten any kind of major update or shakeup in years. Class balance is laughably bad for pvp to the point that some classes can be played by someone who has no clue what to do and kill a skilled player on a crappy class. Gear is also king, and specific grinds mean a 720gs will be grinding in the same spots as a 450gs, and at that difference even a crappy class beats the op class regardless of skill. 

It's also not pushed, and is actively discouraged. Seasons explicitly forbid it. So for 10-11 months of the year 4 servers are exclusively pve. GMs step in during some events and nuke anyone who tries it. 

I do feel that it's important to note the distinction between open world pvp and pking. One is consensual, and the other is griefing.

gear and class balance problems are an unavoidable part of pvp in every MMO.  There are games out there where skill is all that matters but MMO pvp isnt it.  Also just because you aernt happy about the state of pvp that dont mean it dosent exist. I can go to centaurs and kill a newbie if I want, i lose some karma they respawn 5 seconds later and the world goes on. Now, I dont kill new players because I find 1 hitting people that have no idea what to do to be pretty uninteresting. ..but I do like that I have the option to kill someone if I want.

In fact, the more PA tried to ensure some guaranteed progression (Marni) and gave grind spot possibilities through map expansion, the less players became tolerant to owpvp.

Now I think the solution is to ensure the "existence" of owpvp everywhere, its existence but not necessarily its use. Devs said it themselves, they want pk to exist but they don't want it to be the first solution in every conflict.

Solution : as they can't reduce the size of the map, they can drastically reduce the number of channels. If many people go on the same spots, the idea of grouping will not feel like a malus but more like an additional layer of protection. Lone players will have to be really strong to keep a spot for themselves or accept a suboptimal spot. But if grouping becomes the norm, how many players will stay so adamant in being alone anyway ?

And if a five player team pks its way to get a spot, well... It's still 5 players instead of one on a spot!

Owpvp to regulate owpvp, that's the basic idea. Devs also have to review the current owpvp rules to make a clearer difference between pvp and pks : if one attacks and the other also toggles its pvp AND lands a hit, both shouldn't have a penalty if the other dies.

Final point, but I already said this part, permanent penalties should be removed and replaced with temporary but efficient ones. A player should not be able to mitigate the effect of a death by gearing up with expendable equipment, be it for mass pk or repeated bodythrowing. Jail time for killers, and pve debuffs for dying against another player (and this debuff would be removed after some time, OR by switching channel, OR with the death of your murderer) and you can eliminate bodythrowing and remove mob feeding at the same time.

Sorry for the wall of text, but I think it's time for BDO to stop overprotecting players and instead ensure the presence of owpvp. The more it is present, the more players will accept it and the more it will regulate by itself. 1-hour Marni makes wonder to guarantee one hour of efficient grind and should be kept, but after this hour, players should have to consider the following "should I find a quiet spot, pk my way for a top spot, or find a group? ". 

If this is done, BDO will clearly be the best game in its category.

I did not stop the lecture there but that's a strong fact.

The more PA gives an inch, the more players want a yard.
