It's not stats, but over the years since original EQ the oft most stated reason why people who would otherwise like to start on a pvp server but don't is item loot.
Besides, it becomes an almost moot issue with Velious, anyway, since there is so much no drop armor.
So, basicly, by having item loot you turn away a lot of players who might otherwise play, and with velious doesn't even matter because there are tons of no-drop options for every slot.
There's a reason why SZ was so popular and drew a lot of blue players that the other zeks never did. It even had no pvp level limits. No item loot.
