Suggestion(s)/Comment(s): Crystal loss does not occur on Arsha Channels
Details: From the last few months running around on Arsha, there are not a lot of players to be found. I feel like a nice option for the playerbase would be to eliminate the possibility of losing crystals when they are on one of the Arsha servers, even in PVE. Small changes like this could potentially build up to encourage players to join Arsha more for a chance of better loot, and in turn creating an environment for more open world PVP. C
lassic risk vs reward.

Being an old player that no longer does node wars, open world PVP is what originally drew me into BDO in 2016 (before node wars were implemented into the game), and I wish there was a way to encourage it without hurting player gains. Even sacrificing some of the channels for more Arsha or PvP dedicated channels could help make the wonderful world of Black Desert feel a little more full.

I like the idea but it feels too powerful.

What about taking pvp damage causes you to gain a buff that causes all of your deaths to count as pvp deaths for the next few minutes.

They need fulll arsha server rework.  +50% drop rate isn't valuable today and you bring fun for people who wants pvp on arsha, when you came for +50% drop rate.  It is absolutely pointless.  It still could be relevant if we had the same  gear for PVE and PVP, but in fact  you grind in full pve and people who attack you  have full pvp + E buff for sure.

PvP channels should have pvp rewards,  PvE channels - pve rewards.

If they made all classes available for hard-core servers, it could be really good PvX server,  all people will have the same gear for PvE and PVP.

What they need to do is hold world events that happen on timers on arsha.  Boosting rates significantly at a few spots creating a competition for resources which gives people a reason to all out brawl it out at said  locations

It works only if we would have the same gear for PVE and PVP, otherwise it would be the same,  you got event on  a spot, you go and grind there and there always will be people who don't need gear and more resources, and they will go in PVP gear and have fun around. 

There are only 2 ways to solve arsha channel: 

1. The only gear for pve and pvp.

2.  Remove 50% drop rate and add pvp rewards   like you go and kill players, get tokens and exgange them for rewards, something like devs did for hard core servers.

For arsha, imo, is another 2 way to "solve it" by making it worth the risk vs reward. Adding a drop amount buff to arsha servers and making the gear for pve/pvp be same will kinda make arsha worth going to, risking the buffs and fight you gonna have to do for a good-ish reward. Or adding a new drop specific to arsha servers like there is on season servers.

Leave the arsha buff alone.

Just allow for players on arsha to have 2 separate skill presents active at the same time, 1 for pve and 1 for pvp.
Nothing feels more discouraging than being a grinding clown with full PvP set up, and making less with arsha buff than with no buff on regular server OR being the second kind of clown, trying to pvp people in PvE set up xD

And u either have to go to BA or p2w to swap skills, it's just bothersome.
