The best solution is bringing the old BDO back.
It was tough and unforgiving, like a true open-world sandbox should be. A world where surviving is just as hard as progressing.

And makes you appreciate even the smallest amount progress.
Who doesn't enjoy Lacari's Game of Guilds videos? He got zerged for weeks, improved himself and ruled the world.
Every time I read you guys giving solutions like "balanced pvp", "safe gvg", you don't realize this is what is destroying the aspects that made BDO unique and it is killing this game.
BDO was great for being a war game and when these ideas of fairness, equality, and woke speech started to come out, things started to go downhill.

Stop these ideas of safe-space PVP and participation trophies. Without some struggle, any reward is meaningless.

"Gimme, gimme, gimme."

Said like one animation character from late 1969 and early 1970. I want some popcorn too. :)

It's not a particularly laughable matter though that people who used to love this game and care for it bring up their legitimate concerns instead of just going "all hail our mighty producers"... 

It's just sad seeing J become some a victim mentality messiah. I've always thought of Koreans as being tough individuals. Those that appreciate strength and personal will. Getting on your knees to pacify the woke bullcrap never works, you'll never stand on your feet again. I've spent thousands of dollars on this game since launch. I'm not mad, I had it to spare. I did so because I loved the original freedom. I appreciated BDO's stance on not policing everything that hit the chat bar. People are tired of the oxymoron that is social justice, and the entire hypocritial woke derangement syndrome. It's a sad day to see PA caving way too late to the lunatics. Unfortunately, the game will suffer greatly. People are getting way too tired of being controlled, and they are just going to quit playing. BDO isn't going to attract that many new players, it's an older game.
