Yeah, the forums in MMO games are usually the X (Twitter) but smaller edition. Vocal minorities, while silent majority is enjoying the game and great new updates.
Spot on.

Well, we're just going to disgust all the new players in the game, with feed mobs, kill them repeatedly and make them want to leave. This is my new mission in the game.

I don't understand the point of this thread and the discord. Pearl Abyss put in changes to reduce bullying and harassment and you decide to organize to protest via........bullying and harassment. How on earth does this make sense?
So, there seems to be some misunderstanding about the discord. Firstly, I would like to invite you all to visit it; you do not need to partake in the discussions or even stick around, but our standpoints are publicly posted so people can decide if they're onboard.
Now regarding the idea that we're in support of bullying. We are not.
We argue that, in the seven odd years that karma(bombing) and guild wars have been a thing, plenty of solid constructive feedback has been provided to PA. Feedback which, if even partially implemented, could have avoided the changes applied last Wednesday.
We argue that the changes, as they are currently implemented, are shortsighted, and in opposition of a core identity trait of the game; its MMORPG sandbox aspect.
We plan to push for the reversion of the recent changes, and subsequent reintroduction of PvP as a staple content from in BDO across all aspects, by means of organised action in protest. These actions, though perhaps experienced as disruptive by individuals, will not be in violation of the ToS (which we are paying extra attention to, in order to avoid the KR fiasco).

Ok, fair. I have suggestions that would reduce the severity of these changes, but I worry that I will get shouted down and bullied for posting there. PA will NOT go back to what it had before. The bullying and harassment were real. Perhaps there are some compromises. I sympathize with a need for deccs to deal with obnoxious over grinders. In fact I will accept deccs if any of my guildies are doing that.

Well, they just went ahead and ignored this forum's second most popular post, its 29 pages, its 900 upvotes... and without even a response, have announced the changes will be coming in tomorrow's patch.
But not only that, they've ignored seven long years of feedback, provided by countless interested parties on both sides of the debate.
We will not stand for it!
A discord has been put together to discuss and collect feedback across platforms, but now it will also be used to discuss and organise player action. Let's make a stand against these changes together!

We blockaded Heidel on the Kama4, Balenos4 and Valencia4 channels (EU) for an hour, sparking discussions in the server chat (as well as the to-be-expected disgruntled responses). Our next event-protest will likely be in the form of a man-hunt tournament that will last one week.

There was a blockade, i did not notice that. Oo
What do you mean with "man hunt tournament". If you plan to find some players here, where like the new system and you plan to hunt them for a day. In koera players did this and got banned from the game.

No one cares about getting banned anymore.
We just want to PvP any and everywhere.
Which was the premesis of BDO in the first place.
If you dont want to get caught in it, move out the fkin way. Its that simple.
