I cant stress this enough. On a high pop server item loot gives naked people a reason to fight not naked people.
I pvpd today on a low level (unnamed) vs another low level unnamed. But it was fun. Until I ran out of pumice stones ;p but it would have been great if there were more people like us on both sides of that fight.
Naked. He would snare me and dot me, and I would pumice it off and run after him and he would train mobs cause he was a derp. And I would chase after him looking for where he zoned too. He couldnt do enough dmg to drop me down and it took him a few mins to eventually down me.
With another 2 people on each side the outcomes would have been infinitely more complex and unpredictable.
Gear is a bad thing for pvp servers. Gear that you can lord over and use to greif other players is even worse. FFA and this community encourages twinking to the max. Because people quit high level pvp when being tracked toothed and they get banned for any competitive play whatsoever. So they just farm and twink and pvp low levels. Yeah its fun. I had good battles with geared players in unrest too. But the best was naked mass pvp in zones like gfay, oasis, ec, innothule. SWAAAMP....
