Skip straight to 4:57 for my solutions. Skip to 18:45 for the discussion of accessories.

In this video I talk about the gear disparity in BDO, a few of the reasons it exists, and 3 of my own solutions to help alleviate the pressure on less geared players while still allowing the most geared to be top dogs.

Let me know what you think in the comments. Do you agree with my solutions or do you think there are better ways to address this? Also what do you think of the horizontal progression system in Black Desert? Do you like the way Pearl Abyss is implementing new boss gears (Such as Offin Tett's?) or would you prefer them to implement more powerful items?
