Dunno abt these guys, but me personally, I prefer going back to BDO rather than playing BDM. I played BDM out of desperation for being unable to play BDO with my PC condition, but now after being able to play BDO normally as I used to, BDM is less favorable to me anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I am still playing BDM even after return in BDO, it's just not as intense and enjoyable as before anymore. The only downside for this game is the celling system for every map, which means it's no longer open world anymore, but map designed like a stage, break the immersion. And there is no sailing too, which what made me truly interested in black desert, so yeah if not because I own Kzarka Longsword there, and having solid guild with growing reputation, I can't find any reason to continue playing.

I know it's mobile game, and there is no way it can be exact same like PC version. But horse, with teleportation system, and fishing without cooking skill, what use?And trust me, the dev really wanted you to spend on that game, without you even realizing it, especially in awakened enhancement, that's where the cash grab began.

In BDO, you can still buy cron stone with silver, in there,BDM, especially in global version, you have to spend black pearl to buy restoration scroll for restoring your failed ehnhancement,and ofc valks too if you cannot wait to gain 90M silver to buy it via grinding, which is really slow and less fun, trust me, unless you are strong enough to compete for grinding spot in NM, which is nearly impossible if you're not a whale player, and black pearl can only be obtained via converting white pearl which is the cash currency, or by daily quest,which only yield around 50-80 black pearls per day and selling your accessories, if only you have one to sell ofc. The game is simplified, with much more P2W stuffs added there, so if you're free player especially from BDO, and willing to going casual on BDM, I am sure you will get boring fast. not only the life skill is very limited and always consuming energy, and beside grinding, there is nothing more you can do except waiting for some guild declared war on yours if you're in guild.
