I suppose you would think it was bad if you thought that bullying can happen in a video game.  No one was ever hurt, thus they cannot be bullied.

How do you know that? I have a real life friend who mains Shai and I know when she's being attacked by some blood thirsty, virtual shitter because she's screaming at the top of her lungs in Discord about it.

I would have been like you in thought ( Not believing bullying was possible in a MMORPG just like on social platforms) if I didn't see it happening in real life or in BDO. A well known red tamer and his guild perma dec the lifeskilling  guild I joined after leaving my old guild PvP/PvE). I would not have believed harassment and bullying in a MMORPG was possible but it is. 

Some people ( with mental illnesses) play this game or MMORPGs as a therapeutic out and when you have violent, sociopaths that want to club the seals everytime they see them it becomes a real issue ( and PA has addressed it in a good way). Again, I wish you guys stop making threads about this and whining about the change because it's not going back to what it was.

Honestly, pvp as a whole feels dead. Its either grief or be griefed. DFS barely exists due to family-wide karma, and the mindset now is feed people to mobs which only made the pvp scene worse. Removing the ability to dec players drastically caused a surge in toxic encounters since if they want spot, the best action to take is either grind over, grief or feed to mobs. And while its not so much a problem at the highest ends of grinding, that PA and many of the people ive talked with that are ambassators dont see this as a problem is just disheartening. It really feels like the pvp that many aimed for that really made this game feel special is just gone now. Yes aos and rbf and nws exist, but it doesnt feel good. 
-AOS is basically meta or lose
-RBF sucks when dp memes are so dominant, and most of the people in these dont do anything else (thats fine, but going in thinking you want a little pvp before grinding or something often ends up making people not want to grind at all after being stomped by the 10 cho players with 40gs on you that you cant even half-hp at 710gs)
-NWS being capped removed the want to get gear

I might be alone in this, but the thing that made BDO feel special above all else was the combat. And while its fun getting to grind and do all the cool moves and play fun classes, the pvp was where it really had impact. Now that its gone almost entirely either due to caps, openworld pvp being dead, or just by meta-whoring in AOS it really doesnt feel good to grind or even play the game. I could get more gear, but why do i wanna push gs to still get wrecked by people more carried? Or to grind spots with less money/hour than zones already out? Or even worse, grinding out gs only to realize that my class literally cant grind the new zones since evasion is what im supposed to build, but ill be nuked at Ulukita zones if im evasion, and die anyways if i do dehkia if i go DR. 

The game lost what made gs really have impact in my opinion and im of the same mind as Shaky on this one, the big push to grind is gone. 

Did you just label red players as violent sociopath? What is wrong with you? Stop de railing my post.

Yeah in the game world, because that's what they are. Also, aren't you late for another whine video on YouTube? Go find Neptunez or something and stop making whine threads.
