nah, paid streamers bring new ones showing them free Dream Horses, and many vets back ONLY because of it.

Im with you bro, Pearl Abyss just care about income and this is reason why we see 3 subscriptions and p2w tent, maids, pets,  workers lodging, city storage, weight etc

Your level is private im alomost 66 lvl bro i love BDO but i see how p2w is it, PA dont care about us at all

edit:

i added weight, and now i edit again and adding lifeskills costumes processing/cooking and fairy

if anyone want to say we have free pets show me where get Hedgehog

I was buying VPs from the day they came out until the day they added Kama Blessing and Old Moon Book to the pearl shop (and then added the Combat and Life books back even though they said the Old Moon Books were replacing them).  15/mo is reasonable. 65/mo is not.  If they combine all the buffs into one subscription, I will happily go back to buying them.

But I have to say, the only thing I *really* miss is the dyes.  Everything else (yes, including the MP tax reduction) is a nice-to-have and the game is perfectly playable without it.

LMFAO! i can't disagree with this. Whole reason players keep quiting is cause of such stupid subs. Imagine knowing that you must have VP to sell all your items in marketplace for efficient income! Imagine not be able to change skills unless you have amstrong ON!

The way BDO is going now is very good and many new players are comming... All this happened because of new PVE content. This just proves that players truly needed new PVE system in game and many don't want to circle around 24/7. Now imagine how many new players will come more just because Shadow areana is back!

If PA should sacrifice small income to keep players playing the game then they must sacrifice for the shake of efficiency.

I pay WOW 12€/m and i can play the whole game! just every 2years 40€ for expension which is nothing compared to BDO. 

I have GW2 whole game and GW2 doesn't have monthly subs nor is it p2w game! buy once play forever. i can convert ingame gold currency to ingame gems currency to buy outfits and mount skins...everything! there is an option to either pay 30€ to buy outfit or convert few golds into gems to buy things from ingame shop.

PA makes tons of money from outfits, wieght & inventory and they combining 3 montly sub option into 1 and making it 10€/m option will not gonna bankrupt them! The new content and just proves that players want better content.

still waiting for Shadow Arena to come back btw :)

Selling by batches and loyalty VP. 

Keeping a skill preset with only the basic stuff and you can switch your skills every ten minutes at the skill instructor.

But yeah, here we have marketing experts telling PA how they're losing money and players for years now. Sure. XD

What about you give good advices to new players instead of telling them such fallacious statements? 

I tell every new players to never buy any other monthy buffs expect for Value Pack. So ye, not only me but also 100s of vet will advice new players to not buy secret books & kama buffs..., some even advice to never buy any monthly subs, use loyalty shop every 2week for 1day to sell everything you get. 

.

Now, if all those scammy monthly subs becomes 1 & becomes 10€/h then i bet much more players will buy it cause the cost & the product will become very worth to have it.

Not one of the subs is mandatory to play.  While I agree the subs cost too much, rolling them into one then combining into the 60% the price of the cheapest one is a bad ask.

what if someone finds themselves in a situation where they currently only have a use for just 1 or 2 out of the 3 subscriptions? i suggest making the blessing of old moon pack purchasable in 30 and 90 durations for these kinds of cases.
