Is PA encouraging more red players?

Right now, PvP players have barely any gear-based content anymore, aside from the boring shitfest known as RBF.

Geared players, how many of you have gone red / thought about going red karma after these new PvP changes? obviously it's risky, but it seems like a really good solution for for pvp-hungry players. If i weren't a gearlet, i'd definitely go red.

It's PA's fault, they didn't provide any pvp content.

The game should allow more interractions with redplayers, as they are part of the game.

Instead of that, they are cut off everywhere and in everyway.

PA talked once of a bounty system, that idea put stars in the eyes of nearly everybody, but they never released it. Maybe too much work for them, to think of giving fun content. Instead, they brought up a bugged magnus, they erased Port Ratt (and the whole new continent behind) to make an empty island with gear limited combats vs boss, they capped Node Wars and made gearing up nearly useless, they made the twins classes... very amusing boring but they thought it would be wonderful I guess, they didn't solve any bug as there are many (crashes included)...

I suppose PA doesn't have the same priorities. They see the short term: how to get money now. Not the long term: how to keep players.

For the first time since I started bdo, I didn't open the game for 2 days now. It might be soon the end for me, as several friends stopped the game too.

GJ Pearl Abyss, you focus on wrong things and give us nothing to have a real fun.

I'll regret the mmorpg Black Desert Online I've known, for sure.

I won't regret the actual life-simulator Black Desert Online, for sure.

Nope. Perma red players are getting banned as well.

Yes, the uneven and capricious enforcement of "disrupting game play" is making many of us angry, even pve players like me.

You don't need gear to kill random people AFK, you only need a Seasonal alt that can grind Karma back with zero crystals when you finish.  

I have been attacked more in the past 3 weeks, multiple times a day in fact, than I was in the previous 6 years prior to the Family wide karma change.  

Since Seasonal gear is so easy to get back to pen, if it downgrades while you are grinding there is no loss, plus there is zero chance of dying to places like Pila Ku, Gahaz, Sulfur, or any of the other quick karma recovery locations.  PA made a change without consulting the community, and made a huge mistake.
