Doesn't make sense to cater to 10% of the pvp population when 90% is casual. No.

Yea but it does when 90% are PvP population, and 10% are casual. You have any statistics? Or is just imagination?

New game, new era.  Just be glad you -- if you're a vet who enjoyed BDO's unique gameplay style since years ago -- got to enjoy the game when it was meaningful and good.  Least that's how I see it.

I'm just waiting for another good MMO to come out, TBH.  BDO is just waiting room.  Hopefully the devs can develop some meaningful and fun PVP content (<- blind optimism) in the meantime.  If not, it's more AFK'ing, random RBF's, random grind (casual play), random AoS, and node war on Sunday in BDO while I jam out CS2 with friends or git gud in SF6.  Won't have to P2W at all for a while anyway since I got 180 days free Value Pack, so that's good.  Nice knowing you, old forum buddies and BDO.

I'd argue that BDO was a terrible unplayable game until this year.

The guild dec change doesn't stip you from PvP, it just makes the penalty steper. The dec system was so widely abused, it had to change. Play on Arsha if you don't want penalties.

Frendly reminder - the GvG change was bad because removes the only one way to deal unpunished with griefing. Remember PKing is not the only griefing. And it was pointless when you have marni. At this point it wont be harm to make marni permament and leave GvG. The damage is alreade done, no need to make it more.

[...]

Solution:

Revert Guild Dec changes to the previous state.

Make Serendia and Balenos servers PvE only, just like Seasonal server

[...]

Or the better solution would be to make half the servers with the previous rules and the other half of servers with the new rules about GvGs decs.

That way it will satisfy everyone and we will see which ones will be the most filled.

Or you could just deal with the changes like a big boy?

This is in response to the open world PvP changes, where guild dec's have to be mutually accepted. I believe this was the wrong direction to go in for the game, as open world PvP for me has been the best aspect of the game. I can however accept that people don't want to deal with PvP when they are grinding.

Problem:
Some people don't want to deal with PvP when grinding as it is annoying to have buffs goto waste, or to have a grind cut short.
Some people want to be able to DFS for a grind spot, so that grinding isn't a matter of whoever just got there first. And to deal with griefers.

Guild dec's were the only way to enforce DFS as if the player didn't adhere to this ruleset, they would be Dec'd and encounter forced PvP

Solution:

Revert Guild Dec changes to the previous state.

Make Serendia and Balenos servers PvE only, just like Seasonal server

In this proposed solution people will have ample server's that they can swap between if they don't want to deal with PvP in any fashion, and others can have servers where they can DFS and open world PvP if they want to. I believe this to be the best solution as people can enjoy both worlds.
Also there should be a note on these server's explaining the principle behind them. A basic notification when you click to join on the server.

Think this woud fit better in the feedback tab mate :P
