Jesus christ PA stop making the events that spawn stuff only monster killing its unfair to us life skillers, the new shakatu event for example the only way to do it is by farming monsters, you also exluded life skillers during the halloween event with spook summons.

Your game population is in the crapper and you don't seem to learn your lesson and you continue to alienate huge parts of your playerbase by doing stupid things for example like in this event by excluding life skillers.

I really hope you have some crazy updates to show for the Calpheon Ball because BDO players are at our wits end and most of us that are still playing have one foot and half our body out the door with our coat and hat on waiting for the Calpheon Ball.

xd.  Yeah, life skillers are always cooked  for good silver rewards and  decent rewards at all.

But as some people under hard copium here would say, you should play for the fun ( it means hard griefering yourself ), because  silver, crons. etc should not be the reward. So enjoy events for x2 milking, fishing and additional fruits on the farm. We very often have such events  =)))))

Yeah, PA please stop treating us lifeskillers like we are dead. 

We will be the last to leave....

Honestly, when I see the lootbox/rng character of that new Shakatu event, it almost feels like you're protecting lifeskillers by not including them into the event. I mean, just think about this ... you could get a PEN blackstar weapon from that Shakatu Dream box, or you could just end up with 50 memory fragments or some ancient spirit dust (like most of us) - can it get any more extreme? Seriously though, it would be nice if lifeskillers were included in events. That means the events itself, e.g. why can't Afaru also appear when gathering AND the rewards, like when there's PEN blackstar weapons, there also should be PEN manos accessories/tools/clothes. 

Look at the BDO directory and steam charts because a MASSIVE chunk of the streamers and players have either left temporarily waiting for the ball as a last hope or permanently because PA has burned the bridge so often and people are just tired of being lied to and given the metaphorical finger. PA is on a downward spiral that they are probably not going to recover from even with the Calpheon Ball.

I'm in agreement with everything said.  A word of caution about the Calpheon Ball: this event has forecasted every evil thing they have done to ruin this game.  Whenever something is mentioned at the Calpheon Ball, it brings permanent harm.  No good has come from that event.

I hope things can change.  Maybe they can turn things around by actually updating lifeskilling in a wise, non game-breaking way that is actually pleasing to the players, and is actually what people want, not just some lazy fix that makes them think they'll never have to touch it again.

All their patches seem to point towards never having to do anything about that aspect of the game again.  It sends chills down my spine.

This game has the makings of greatness, so much potential, and it's all wasted.  So, so sad.

PA ruined their reputation, BDO is the only game and the last game a lot of people will play from them with any serious intent. A lot of things PA has added and mentioned are either done half a** , added then removed or they announce it and we never get it, the ball is a joke and only serves as a look into their thinking because as many people have said about content they announce "maybe we will we get it and maybe it will work"

-Still waiting on all in one presets

-Still waiting on alter of blood

-they removed one of the best things Shadow Arena and refuse to add it back in

-What ever happened to the climbing life skill they announced

-Trade life skill revamp is scrapped i believe

-farming life skill has no mastery benefit

-fishing and processing have not really had changes since launch

-lifeskills outside of loml hunting don't make even half what grinding mobs does

-They destroyed open world pvp

-still don't have the 4th dungeon and no word on it

-class balnce is a joke

-they leave out half their players in events

-they rent a frigging castle for the heidel ball and give us concept art with no dates or anything to show what a joke there.

-lost count of the 'were sorry and we will do better" announcements only to get the middle finger after and they do the same crap.

i could go on but yeah.

Agree. My interest in the game is waning. Every week that passes with no lifeskill event makes me care less and less about logging in. It's been months. My money spends too you know, and I could care less about grinding and won't/don't do it.

Life skillers have been given the metaphorical middle finger for years, every weekend grinders get weekend exp buffs, grinding events out the wazoo for grinders, drop rate and or exp buff events for grinders a lot more than life skillers get life exp buffs., LOML bosses buff ap/dp no benefit to life skillers, life skills make far far less than grinding, life skills have not been given a proper updates since manos in like 2018 or 2019.

All i'm saying is be fair to life skillers, if your giving grinders all these benefits but leaving us out its not right and we have a right to complain. Life skilling a huge part of this game and we provide elixiers grinders grind with, Sharps andcaphras for all the grinders upgrading their combat gear, so unless you (PA) plan to start giving a lot more upgrade materials and elixiers we life skillers provide smarten up.
