not to say its a perfect game, it's not by any means, and some aspects of it definitely deserve harsh criticism (monetization) but idk how can you say its uninspired when its way more original than the hundreds of boring themepark mmos that are little more than wow clones.

its a good game at its core, it needs work, but idk, i  still firmly believe its better than 99% of mmorpgs

They were talking about how BDO character creator was good? Somewhat yes. The molding is probably the best part but there are tons of limitaitons, More ways to sculpt the body would be great, face already has a ton, but for some reason each new class they release has a smaller range of sculpting compared to the others. We finally got a color palette for hair but for some reason they limited the saturation of the colors, We still don't have one for eye colors and eyebrows are still not made correctly because unless you have that second eyebrow option, white = light tan, Lips could use this color pallete as well, same with tattoos which need a huge overhaul to be on every class and have more options on how to customize them, even a basic skin color palette would be nice (as in its only skin colors from dark brown to almost pure white, but to be honest I wouldn't care seeing random colored people walk around beacuse its great freedom, New hairstyles have mostly been static and for some reason they implement tons of new hairstyles to costumes instead of just adding it to the character creator, There's still lots of wierd shading on the models which makes them look strange depending on certain normal morphs, chins were one of them causing some strange ball chin effect but was fixed with a lot of the new faces, for some reason, the eye textures that work with gloss and reflect make new classes eyes have this extremely strange circle and it looks terrible, the pupil and the iris overlap in color, mostly changing the pupil when its not black, and I can go on and on.

Also the game may have gotten some great graphic improvements but the models of the characters themsevles are in need of desparate upgrade, soooo many sharp edges and strange deforms that we might as well be the fighting polygon team. When you have time, just watch your characters elbow bend and enjoy the body horror.

Phew, apart from that, uninspired is something that fits the bill. If they looked back at the game as a whole and updated some of these things that were unique from the start, the game would see more players.

I do believe that the core was good, although their belief that good-natured competativeness would drive all player interacts kinda devolved into some toxicity in PvP.  Not entirely, mind you. Then, they over-reacted and started adding instanced battlegrounds (Marni's Realm) and limited war declarations.  They only cater to some people, and if you don't fit in those crowds, or share their interests, too bad.  They also think they can improvae this game by removing things from the game instead of perfecting their purpose.  This game is being simplified into nothing but an uninspiring grind fest.

Lots of fun can be had here, but when one looks around, after a while we have to make it fun for ourselves.  It's an artificial and contrived fun.  It would be much nicer if the game itself inspired it by its own purposes from storylines, quests, goals, etc.

BDO is the best mmorpg so far deal with it!

Mainly due to graphics and combat. Take that away, what do you have? A generic sandbox mmorpg. With a company that makes so many bad decisions they've made it into an art form. Don't get me wrong, I love this game. I wouldn't have stuck with it as long as I have if I didn't.  But it can be improved. It can always be better. They've gotten complacent because they've gotten quite comfortable being 'on top.' There hasn't really been any competition (which is why people always come back to it). Why settle for 'good' or 'decent' when it could be GREAT? They should always strive to do better. They need to get more creative. Players need to stop settling for what can be considered mediocre at best. Stop playing these 'new' classes, stop buying pearls, and force them to actually think for once! They're a buisness first and foremost, so the thing they listen to is money.
