Here my advice on this matter. Most people are assholes (I learned that at the age of 13.) Why? Well many reasons I could write a whole essay as to why. But, really people should just stop caring what some random asshole thinks just block/ignore them and move causing reacting to assholes only make them want to keep poking you. But, another issue I find is people get too emotional especially over things they can't control (in this case stopping assholes from being assholes). Simple put in a perfect world we wouldn't have to censor words an slang like the N word would never have existed, but this world not perfect many people are assholes an getting overly emotional won't change this fact.

I personal hate the affixing system. It overly complicated and punishes you for not spend 2-3 hours planning out how your going to combine augments in a way that lets you fit them all into one piece of gear. This system could have been designed in a way that doesn't require such planning an especially in a way that doesn't punish people for not carefully planning out ever small detail a head of time so it all works out in the end. This system would have made me quit the game my self if the game wasn't so easy and min maxing was actually required to clear end game content. But that kind of a good thing when the progression after getting BIS weapons and units is more complicated than a professional chess game. I really don't know many people in game that bother with getting BIS augments most of the people I see have just transferred the 6 augments from the Phobos set we get for completing episode 5 onto their end game 13 star units and than they just go with what ever augments they have on their weapons from either the default they started with or from some random item they picked up with okish states.

Honestly I wouldn't mind if SEGA redid the whole affixing system in PSO NGS to make it less complex and more rewarding for players to experiment with and see what happens and less punishing for not carefully thinking out each step of your augment build step by step.

@Alphabunny8807 i would find a way to get steam launcher to work. PSO2 launcher not compatible with the windows store an sooner or later your OS system will lock the game files behind a folder you won't have access too. Than you'll have go do a full reinstall of the game while also finding a way to get access of the game files that were locked otherwise you'll have that locked file taking up 60 GB on your PC. An this will keep happening too if you choose to stay on the windows store launcher. It why the PC launch for this game was terrible an almost killed the game day one of launch.

@Yggranya No the toxicity in BDO has nothing to do with the NW or siege in that game. In fact NW war and Siege are most PVP heavy content in that game but also the most civil and toxicity is rarely seen during them an if it is it usually ends in someone being G kicked. Hell even on the one server that encourages PVP people are running around KOS each other left and right an rarely does anyone decide to be a toxic fuck while it happen. People in that game are toxic for the exact reason I stated the game grind is dull and boring and is literally endless so people get extremely bored so they'll go out of there way to find people grind so they can grief them. An the lack of monitors issuing bans for people literally telling other people to kill each other doesn't help with the toxic attitude. The toxicity in BDO has nothing to do with it being PVP focused at all it because the game is just so dull and boring at time that acting like a dick in game just livens it up at times.

Also idk what you heard but you don't need to PVP once to progress in that game. In fact PVP is completely unrewarding in BDO if it was rewarding than maybe the game's community wouldn't be so toxic, but no it just isn't rewarding. The only rewarding content is spending 1000s of hours killing mobs in the same spot over and over again endless for attempt to upgrade your gear. I've play BDO for 3 years I know what I'm talking about and why the community so toxic. I my self have gotten so bored of the grind that I decided some days I'm just gonna take a brake from grinding and just spend the day griefing people.

@LapisWave some game communities are more toxic than others. BDO for instance almost anyone will come into your rotation grief you for hours try get you killed by mobs (which if you don't know dying by mobs in BDO is bad thing you loss hours of hard earned work if one kills you its the last thing you want happening after you've been grinding for 5 hours.) an shit talk you endless until either you log off or they leave. An because there no rules as to what can be said in BDO beside the N word for some reason people will run around screaming death threats at each other. An like said this is because the game is designed to be a dull endless grind with unrewarding progression thus people find greifing and being toxic as content in that game.

A game is usually as toxic in way the system is made. In MS2 80% of the player base were elitist fucks that only wanted top tier classes with end game gear so they could slam through all their weekly in less than an hour. An brag about how quickly they could clear a dungeon. This was because dungeon were the only form of content in that game as well as the clear time leaderboard was the only thing anyone ever cared or talked about because there was nothing else to do in the game. An from what I hear FFXIV encourages people to clear dungeons as quickly and as fast as they can as well an it's GMs are ok with addons that let you see the dps output of other players thus the game is full of elitist fuck from what I hear.

Mean while ESO grouping for dungeon completely random (as long as your not already in party with 3 other people) cause how that game is designed is you literally press a button and your put in a dungeon que not knowing who you'll be parted with. An on top of that the game's GMs also ban users who have been know to show elitism behavior. So there systems in place that not only make it hard for elitist players to be picky about their party members but also if there reported for being an elitist fuck they've been know to receive bans for it.

@YagyuChan I don't see reason cap would destory economy not asking for min caps just max caps like what Runescape does. So you can sell say unit for any price you won't as long as said unit not being posted for over 10m. An right now were following the same trend JP is an JP has something that really kills a game's economy an that inflation. Inflation so bad in that game it made it so if you want to buy something you either have 30 alts and do every weekly you can to buy something or you swipe your card on AC items and sell them in the market. As casual player on JP if you can't do these two things than player trading may as well be disabled for you.

@Milk Everyone I've talked to about FFXIV has quit that game. An everyone of them has said they quit for the same reason because it toxic elitist player base. An honestly I can't blame them elitist mind sets in video game's are the worst people to play with they'll judge everything you do in a game from how you designed to character to outfits you put on it. I'd rather deal with BDO toxic community than bunch of elitist fucks any day because BDO toxicity in end of the day is just a bunch of bored players that tired of grinding for 100+ hours so they could fail at upgrading their gear again, so they decide fuck it I'm just gonna go blow off steam and grief someone. Simply put BDO community is only toxic because that game is rage inducing with it endless dull grind and unrewarding progression, but FFXIV there no excuses for elitisms in that game since there zero penalty for failing a raid from what I understand.

An since FFXIV has very similar group systems as MS2 an elitisms was a major problem in that game too ya I believe those people when they say the game is full of elitist fucks kicking you out of the party for stupid reasons.

@JuggernautGTX true some people will do it so not going to eliminate these kinds bots completely. But still better than what we have now were someone can booting up the bot software have it auto create a character an instantly start spamming chat with messages a few seconds later. At-least with a level restriction on chat it will take the bot 1-2 hours to start spamming chat rather than the10 mins it takes now. An it will discourage these people using these bots. Cause simply put the people doing RMT in this game are doing it for quick buck I doubt they do this for a living since extremely unstable income an they usually go to the most popular MMO they can find that allows for the least amount of work effort and time to set up as they can (which now a days is extemely rare to find since game's either have some systems in place to discourage this practice or are P2P). An the only way they can even advertise their illegal service is through in game systems. So if they need to spend 2 hours setting up what should be their simplest bot that also the one being contently banned multiple times a day well than they'll just find a different game and community to pray on that requires less effort and time. Which is exactly why there so many bots in PSO2 right now cause it currently the one of easiest games to do this on.

@Koka_Kola until the devs release what were getting when were getting it no one does. Cause as it stands we have items in the game that we shouldn't an are way over toned for us right now while also missing some items that were suppose to be a thing in episode 4. So really who knows all I can say is I believe they plan on having us up to speed with JP by end of January.

@Omae-Wa-Mou-Shindeiru Ya simply putting a price cap on items would stop it. But for some reason most this community is against that idea for reasons they won't explain.
