Here's how Item Loot has worked on every single fucking PVP server ever.

1. Item Loot proponents want Item Loot. They all operate in the fantasy that they're going to be looting fungi tunics and never have the reverse happen to them.
2. Item Loot goes live, pvp turns into people bagging their items and standing still while getting nuked by 2 naked wizards/druids.
3. Most melees quit the server.
4. The people with no drop gear (aka bluebie poopsockers) who already have an advantage in having better gear start looting shit like GEBs and Fungis off other people.
5. Server pop plummets to naked casters roaming Unrest and Crushbone and Bluebie Poopsock guild laughing at their No Drop gear never getting looted.
6. The VERY SAME PEOPLE who were the largest cheerleaders in stage 1 now want item loot gone.
7. Item Loot gets removed and the population somewhat recovers.
8. 2 or 3 people who don't even play the server anymore go onto the forums and start demanding Item Loot and cry that the game is boring now.
