I think most of here would agree that Black Desert needs a new lead developer, someone who can breathe new life into a declining game. 

It's clear to us players that Jae-Hee Kim no longer understands what makes Black Desert a fun game, what its strengths and weaknesses are. For example, he's been given every opportunity to improve Node and Conquest Wars but has failed to deliver something that's fun, exciting and rewarding. A lot of the time Jae-Hee is attempting to re-invent the wheel rather than sticking to tried and true concepts. He treats this game and its players like they're a lab experiment.

Problem is he will use a stupid excuse "im stubborn" - Jae-Hee 2023...

Next up the Last nail in the coffin the death of NW... that is soon to come after these changes next week.

Everyone is pissed about the new NW system going to kill any reason to continue .

I still remember some names here who used to actively support punishing PvP players and helped to destroy the PvP system because of "toxicity, griefing, pvpers are demons, etc." and look how you are changing opinions after other players and I warned (tirelessly!) the game would die because it was created to be an Open World PvP.

You guys should not be upset. It's the end of an Era.

Just take this situation as "lesson learned".

the goal? to make pve players stop complaining lol literally scrapped one of the most fun aspects of the game (and the only way you could defend your rotation from griefers) just to satisfy the majority

I remember some people bragging about using the decc system to settle personal grudges and "sending my bois to hunt them down and drive them off of the server!"  I am glad those days are over.  The bullying and harassment have largely ceased.

having said that, I wish PA had simply put timers and cool downs on one sided deccs so that they could be used for legitimate purposes.  Still, I prefer what we have over the incessant bullying.

Yep. I also remember of some "life skillers" (they said) stalked a female player non stoppable in Mediah chat, then she exposed their actions and they started to gaslight her. Now the game is dead and sometimes they return to Mediah chat seeking attention and also to check out if that female player is still around. I agree that PA should bring the one side dec back because that female player definitely deserves her revenge against crybullies. 

Well, stalking and bullying of any kind are reprehensible. 11. I don't think that the decc system should be used to get revenge for personal grudges though.  I think that defending a grind spot is a legitimate use of deccs, and so, I think 4 hour timers and 4 day cool downs would be reasonable to allow for that sole use of one sided deccs. 11 Personal grudges and revenge should not be accomodated, since who is to say which side is right.  Use the chat moderation and reporting system to deal with abusive players, instead.

Have a sunny day!!

A lot of games have learned the lesson that a lot of people who "want PvP" don't want PvP, they want to grief without consequences - and they complain the moment consequences for griefing become something you can't ignore. The people who want competitive PvP aren't the types affected by the penalties for world PvP, because they're on the PvP servers or participating in the equivalent of WoW 3v3 Arena.

Edit: Not to say WPvP isn't fun, see my comment on page 25 because I do think it can use some work.
