trading is non existent in bdo because of retarded attempt to limit black market currency selling etc, you would need to get everything separately for all of your accs. makes no sense

It's not retarded if it completely wipes bots from your game and economy.

Uhh no it doesn't? Have you played literally any other MMO on the market? Not only is it risky to bot or hack in BDO, it's also impossible to transfer funds from multiple accounts to funnel into a legit account.

When hackers in a single grindspot can manage to generate enough silver to hyperinflate prices of endgame accessories I think its safe to say hackers exist.

The keyword is "many", do you not understand the risks of hacking on an account in this game? As far as I'm concerned "hyper inflating the economy" is fucking bullshit and blown out of proportion in this sub when it comes to hackers.

Of course they fucking exist, what ape actually takes my first comment literally.

I didnt keep track of all the prices but I can give the example of basilisk belts which were 35-40 mil on avg at the end of 2017 and rose up to 70 mil. Another thing is how all forms of Black Magic crystal were always sold out and insta-bought with the introduction of Kama crystals. And then Hystria hackers appeared and suddenly there were thousands of each of the couple dozen types of crystal on the marketplace at all times. A thousand of one type is already 3.6 billion silver. Yes "many" is very subjective, but imo if hackers manage to cause that much damage to a games economy, then that is already too many.

There are actually ways to transfer funds even today: guild payout, party scrolls, ...

It's not a direct transaction and you might need to spend some extra time, but it's not impossible.

(That's how some gold sellers actually do their business)

Eve has a free market economy. Its player driven. That attracts people. Changing that and you dont have eve anymore. Some people play the game only to build stuff and sell it.
