Hello lovely PA/BDO community,
You probably wonder, what is this heck of a long post here and why should you even care about...
This is about several changes of graphical aspects, soundchanges, lightning changes, adjustment in payments to more userfriendlyness in the Pearl Shop, individual options for the map, and a more flexible graphic settings interface in the in-game options.
If you don't agree with it, it´s fine, but don´t wonder, if many people make a vote and the company decides to take action and going to make changes due to that survey here.
I also have made an private support ticket to PA concerning all of the points listed in this post, you can read that as well here.
So to have some changes on those matters, what I personally think should be changed/improved, the community has to confirm these issues too. Thats the simple reason for me starting this poll/survey here right now.
Please read first all about the conversation between me and support, before starting any vote decision and even before making any comment of yourself at all, it´s for your understanding!
Original message from me to the PA Support:

The vote progress:
I have made a more slim version of the stated points in my message to the support. So the slim version is the voting. Which starts from here.
Only vote yes or no, agree, disagree, leave it as it is, or just don´t vote if you don´t like it.
For your decision-making kindly use the empty table in my second post, it´s easier for you and for everyone.
Feel free to put also own thoughts inside, but most important in that case, make first yes or no in the gap, than following your comment afterwards.
Please make it as simple as possible.

Mayority of those are doesn't matter category issues, the game have much, much much more severe issues than random dog barking or not.

You mean more severe issues such as lack of DK outfits amirite.
I reworked on the explanation of this post and made the table a little simpler. Hope it suits you well.

Overal good ideas, but yes the game need adresed more important issues. Bounty system, More party play, zones with better AI, etc.
But its good to start from somewher.

Can there ever be too many Waifu outfits? I mean be honest, at what point would you say that there doesn't need to be a new one?

Probably this is the first time when you wrote something that isn't BS.
Althrough I didn't mean that.
If we would rank the stuff from 1-10 (10 is the highest priority)
-The stuff the guy wrote would be 2
-The more DK outfits would be 7
-The balance issues would be 10
That's actually not only player wise, but company wise. They wouldn't get any more money if the dog would bark less, or if there would be different moons or whathewer, so it would be waste of time to allocate rescource for that. (Literately, companies plan this way, it have no added value, even if fixing that would take very low effort.)
Those outfits on the other hand ain't free, people buy it, so it actually making profit, so investing into them would return the value. (Though PA mainly sell outfits for P2W, and since you ain't getting more crons from new outfits, they ain't really bother with releasing more decent ones.)
PA doesn't even care about more serious issues, they are definetly not going to care about the "doesn't matter" level issues like those either. And I say that after/while reporting many low prio bugs/suggestions which never will be adressed.
Also please note, that the not having 5EUR option isn't a "we forgot it" issue. It's a purposely done marketing step. They know that this way people are forced to buy more, so they willl going to have leftover which encourages further spending. This is psychology, if you are intrested in "how to create predatory store" you can find studies in the field, but in tl.dr things like this are done on purpose, hence it's unlikely that they change it.
