    That sounds more like buying crafted items from the cash shop disguised as crafting.

    Work a real job to earn real money to spend on company money to work a game job to earn game money. :D

    It amazes me that the sub price for most mmorpgs stayed at $15 for so many years.

    This cash shop shit earns these companies so much more yet they continue to taint their own games just to squeeze more cash out of the whales. Why? Because there are players who WILL pay for it.

    To apply this logic to a subscription price, we should have seen $50 a month premium options ... yet, somehow, we didn't. I can only assume it's because, even if a lowly $15 a month players at least pays something. Cash shops are based on metrics that proves losing 100k players who pay nothing is worth less than 100 who pay $1000's.

    Something about cash shops turns game developers and distributors into casino mob bosses.

    The secret to enjoying BDO is two-fold:



    1. Don't try to be an elite PvP player (this is how you get sucked into spending thousands of dollars and you'll likely still fail at your goal)

    2. Don't use the cash shop period





    Yes Kakao keeps putting more system in to sucker the players into spending money, just don't be a sucker




    While overall I agree with you, if you're not trying to be the best at pvp then why even play the game? There really is not much else to do...

    Uninstalled.  It's not only the "Complete Now" feature. This game is great. Probably the best MMORPG on the market right now, but they have had and continue to have a plethora of glitchy little problems; some of them impact core gameplay mechanics.

    The "Complete Now" feature is just the last straw for me because it shows where the publisher's priorities lie, and those priorities don't include the actual gameplay or user experience in BDO.

    Hopefully if the game allows a real options beyond cash shops (some don't). I never use cash shops. I boycott them in fact (minus a subscription option which is the minimum contribution I expect ... although this one is in the cash shop lol but oh well).

    My concern with them is how much can be purchased with real cash that impacts game play and progression. The game itself starts to shape around the whales. This can be avoided but I am sad to hear BDO taking continued steps to ruining their game. 

    Perhaps they plan on making sure that grind play is always the most profitable but if the margin of b2w tightens the risk is high that the game moves beyond the consideration of, especially, western gamers.

    That's pretty much what I told myself when starting BDO, and it has served me well so far. This update still irks me though, just not as much as it would have if I were actually trying to run with the top dogs.

    My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)

    I love the game, even spent 60 euros on it. Thing is I don't regret the spending, got the game for free so I kinda justified the spending like I bought the game. The thing I don't like is that there is so much to do, for my taste even too much, that I just started losing each day more and more the will to login and play. 

    All in all I just hope some other games implement the great combat BDO has, everything else was just too much, not even to talk about enchanting and the fact that I needed to lookup 20 different sites and guides just to get a grasp about it...

    I'm kinda surprised they haven't gone full F2P yet. Maybe they're afraid of public backlash or something cause the game sells for like, $5 at sales nowadays...
