What if damage numbers were not displayed ?

Yeah. im not sure youll solve that particular problem even if you did hide damage. People single out classes in Black Desert too, even without the information on screen. It was a good idea though and I cant blame you for trying.

You mean classes between each other, or two players playing the same class ? (With the same player skill, of course.)

Here I feel that if you take two ilvl230 tanks of the same job, one of them stacking the most parry he can and the other following BiS, their damage output will not be that much different.
And if we want more options in future gear, we have to move away from this mentality.

In BDO there is certain gear that is BiS and theres classes that are considered best/worse by the community. Though i will admit, most of the arguing i see is more so towards the classes themselves rather than the gear. So maybe you are on to something. Im not really sure if that would stop the discrimination. I am sure however. That people will still be people and do people things and that includes war. For any reason, big or small. As long as there is something to fight about. If you start ripping things out of the game to fix that, They will nit pick something else until you take nearly everything out. You might as well just not have a game. Actually, There would be nothing left and they would still complain at that so what can you do? lol

I'm still a new player at BDO (and mostly solo for now), so I've not yet followed any arguing.

Not neccesarily. Before 3.2, people argued about what main stat to chose for tanks. Now, it's out of the way, so they're back to deciding which secondary stat you chose. If you remove that, what will they nitpick about ? Jobs ? They can, and it's a balance issue that's not in their hands. Player skill ? They can and, in fact...they should, because skill is a real concern.

And player skill will not be taken out of content (Except main story ), so they'll just focus on that forever, which is...kind of a good thing, if we want players to improve.

Its not as bad as it is here, but it happens. That and jokes about donald trump in the shout chat.

You make some good points, but i would rather see the gear become similar in stats and remove min maxing than remove the damage information. Like final fantasy 12. You would not have multiple heavy armors per level with slightly different stats(it think it did but there werent many if i remember correctly). Instead you'd have 1 Heavy, 1 medium, and 1 light armor and just upgrade when you unlocked the next tier of item. I would like that better, and only have different ways to aquire that gear or multiples gears of the same stats for aesthetic preference.

TL;DR make gear stats the same instead of removing the damage information maybe. That would seem better imo. I only really want glamour.
