I loved the event as well. 

anothe option could be give them durability, and you can recharge with crystallized despair which will possibly help raise the despair prices from the gutters...

+1. Crystals breaking is an archaic system that needs to go. It's not good for the community or the game. Fear of trying new spots just to break a 5 billion silver crystal is not good. I have grinded more during this event than I have have.

Iv played bdo on and off since release in NA, hell this is my second account cause i even came back to the game after letting my old one die with the transfer.  I have 690 GS but due to phyiscal handicaps i die at least once or twice a day. Back in the day it wasn't that big of an issue to lose a crystal they where cheap and easy to replace and not that imporantant. Now tho crystals make up a major part of your power are expensive and hard to replace. 

Functionally i can't keep playing BDO the same as i use to because i am being punished for something i have no ability to midigate. Frankly after seeing what the end game spots are like in BDO and how much fun they are with the no break event it might be time to set BDO aside cause it opened my eyes to just how awful crystals breaking is.

I wanted to try out Calpheon Elvia, but i have low DP and a very instable internet connection, so i can die a few times a day simply due to getting a DC randomly during grinding.

Did not realize the "Event" was over. I died and of course lost  around 1 bil. This is really demotivating, i won't be trying to go to higher level spots until the next crystal event. The risk is just too high for me, to put anything valuable into crystals. Breaking crystals seems like a left-over system that only sparks frustration and can easily be removed.

Crystals breaking in this day and age is such a terrible mechanic. It's only purpose is to keep the crystal market afloat but I don't see that as a justification to keep the mechanic in game. It's not fun and it's down right soul crushing to mess up, die and be behind two hours + of grinding. In the games current state, you have to put gear the area you're in dp wise in order to make it safe. That's not very good imo as it means despite being fully capable of clearing an area most people are gonna be hard gated by their dp because dying has a chance to set you back multiple hours of grinding... Not only that, but you're also punished for trying to learn newer spots, please just take this outdated mechanic away. 

Yes! I can't stress enough how absolutely ANNOYING this mechanic is. It's not even a good money sink. It's just straight up a "Screw this i'll remove the game and be done with it" moment.

I would porbably support this for Dekhia spots only.

I think it would make the whole crystal system kind of whack if you just remove the loss of crystals, their prices will crash dramatically and the whole system will be RIP.

If you have a good new crystal system, it has to be part of your suggestion - this is not something you can ignore when offering this kind of feedback.

Dear PA. We play games to have fun not to be punished. This game already has a lot of unforgiving mechanics. Least you can do is make crystal permanent. You are getting a lot of new players once again. I am sure you would want them to stay for long term yes? So please do something about billions worth crystals breaking. It's soul crushing
