Does Black desert support players Killing other players who are trying to kill a World Boss Like Bloodstorm Nover they are Greifing  players over & Over and it is becoming a trend. I have lost members of my Guild to other games because of this. I thought that Node wars is content for these players. This trend is growing and many more players are starting to grief players. This is not good I have been playing for many years. I have 32 toons all over level 62. I have also played in Node wars and other PVP content earlier. 

I get the feeling that BDO does not care about the little guy let the bad guys kill anyone they like. Hope you can come up with a solution Players doing the world bosses should not have to worry about gettint PVP'd at a world boss 

I hope you can come up with a solution 

Thanks Doc G

There's protection during WB unless they changed it? Also, if it happens so often could you please give some examples like vid or even screenshots? I have hard time believing someone has trouble with PKs in 2025...

During a world-boss spawn pvp is literally disabled in that area. It even lasts 20 or 30 seconds after the boss died which gives players more than enough time to collect the loot and swap character/server.

But...

I second this statement 100%, I highly doubt this happens to you often as Pearl Abyss did a good job killing content and open world PVP a long time ago.

And don't worry...... PA is killing off World Boss content, so, soon PvPers wont go there, as no one will be there to kill.

You can't pvp while the world boss is up. That protection ends the second the boss dies. Make sure your pets are out and fed and hope for the best.

Seems as though having to click the chest icon (or wait 10 seconds) might be the problem here. With other looting, it happens instantly.
