BDO is not for everyone but i like bdo as much as you dislike bdo.  i actually like lifeskilling.  i do not beleive other games have such an complex lifeskilling experience.  and part of playing is just enjoying the beautiful character creation and enviroment.  All i do is lifeskilling so i can't say anything about PVE or PVP.  I've been playing for almost 3 years.  and i have been killed several times by players out to kill everyone in there path.  But mostly nobody really bothers my gameplay.  i hope that you might find one thing that you like about BDO and start there. 

i do have a complaint about training horses in bdo.  I was able to go from cooking guru 20 to 29 within a few weeks.  but one day of training a tier 5 horse, i only leveled up 2% at master 5, using 3 scrolls and 5 pets.  Training is so slow.   i actually bought a new keyboard so i could use the shortcut to train sprint.  and now that sprint is 100% trained, you cannot buy a low level female horse with sprint. ontop of that i have four T9 dream horses which i never thought i would own.  i wish training would get an overhall and make things more fun.  i see many other players who love horses and think the training horse/breeding game could be taken to another level.  it would make training for the love of horses and speed up mastery progression even without much monetary rewards.   i hope other trainers would share their thoughts.

if we walk away then the game will surely die, i cant speak on behalf of everyone here but i love this game despite all its problems its still a good game and im hoping this year we can see some ground breaking changes to elevate bdo to the heights its always deserved

Why BDO is not an enjoyable MMO?

Answer is always the same:

1. Forced, toxic unwanted open pvp.
2. No progress (no progressive enchantment system, you can lose everything you've achieved over the years).
3. No free fast travel system to any node.

My 5 cents, I'd rather play mediocre mmo with montly subscription and decent humane Support instead of rigged gambling scamfest with Support team tasked to always blame me for their own screwups.

Yes, Im talking about this captcha every 5 minutes.

The "Support" found the source, its my ISP!

And your ISP, and that guy's ISP, and that girl's ISP.

So basically PA is crystal clean and honest, while all IPSs around the world are the source of the problem.

This is ridiculous.

If I'd be CEO, those 'support' monkeys and their management would be on the streets instantly.

Don´t worry, currently PA is destroying our beloved BDO anyways..

The way they go on decision-making and lack of development support, heck even removing 300 employees last 3 years, just to have more money for the shareholders, says everything..

i have lost all hopes on this company.. they should better sell BDO to a more motivated gamingcompany, which doesn´t build a freaking palace out of glass in Korea just to show how rich they are, and how less they invest in their games!

It´s just freaking bullshit nothing else.. sorry to say guys, but thats the reality.. We better move on to better games, so they will realize things have to change..

Sadly, I agree.   The leadership is non existant at this point.  Asking customers how to deal with grabs?   REALLY?
