True pvpers WANT the underdog team. They want the challenge, they truly are the 1%. Many of the older pvpers have been moving from game to game, searching for that long lost spark of PVP. Trying to find a fix, waiting for that perfect ruleset to come along. They don't care about shiny loot or ever seeing end game bosses.

All they want is to "crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women."

The real reason for underdog failure, in any game, is never a lack of spirit and willingness to fight. Core mechanics are to blame, such as in red99. If you have a FFA pvp environment, item loot MUST exist, in order for the dynamic of the server to be balanced. Item loot must be present for various different reasons on FFA. Without it, the underdogs of the server have little chance of inflicting noticeable damage to the top guilds.

This is all a moot point anyways since the new server will be TEAMS, and a team style ruleset does not need item loot to succeed.
