As a current BDO player , you ' ll be sorely disappointed if you come for PvP . PvP is consisted of grinding endless amount of PvE mob for gear and level that you ' ll need to use for PvP . In addition , there has no other nonbrowser and nonmobile game out there with the sheer amount of RNG gates that will make your path to gearing for PvP smooth . Everybody enjoys the game until they hit the gear wall where they can ' t level without gear , and they can ' t grind for gear without level . If you don ' t already have the gear by this point , good luck surviving getting oneshotted by people who already spent months grinding the same spots . It ' s tedious just to get leveled and geared enough to become a cannon fodder for a somewhat competitive player . People that are most immune from a quick and disappointing burnout are those that barely set foot outside the cities and casually playing BDO ' s strong suit , its crafting system . EDIT Also , there is no such thing as noncompetitive PvPing . The PvP population is small and shrinking because the people that are already geared and kept up the grinding is becoming increasingly unstoppable and harder to catch up . Most players aren ' t even close to qualify as basic cannon fodders . Your experience in PvP is just going to be consisted entirely of meaningless deaths until you can afford gear to grind for more gear and level . Try play another game for PvP , but try BDO for the nonPvE and noPvP gameplay .
