As an avid Not-Enjoyer of BDO:
You can't be attacked until level 50, and you must choose to level above that.
Karma does not affect most people, our server's resident perma-red Ninja just does as they like at all times.
There is nothing to protect in BDO, nothing drops, and the only loss most of the time is time if you weren't geared to the teeth in very specific ways or your Crystals break, neither of which are necessary for 'the sort of person who enjoys being Perma-Red'.
BDO is also not what most could define as a good PvE game.
Just because there IS an Environment doesn't mean there's a 'Versus'. If you don't go explicitly looking for a challenge, you can level and grind in BDO successfully without ever seeing your health drop until another player arrives.
'PvE' is just something to do to watch your bankroll tick up while you wait for an attacker, and they intend it that way.
