Item loot makes casters more powerful, a needed change to balance the incoming resist fix which will weaken them, creates a more vibrant economy, makes more types of items desirable creating more camps for people to fight over and more content to consume, etc. Only retards will run around in cloaks of flames and shot. It forces you to think hard every time you put on your froglok or tranix crown or your diamond jewelery. It makes no drop items more valuable etc.

HB just wants a wrecking crew of 6-naked wizard with nothing to lose, to run around Norrath spam rooting and nuking melees to steal that CoF that some poor monk spent weeks obtaining.
Item loot doesn't favor casters it favors bottoming out the population leaving only naked gank squads on the server; not going to level a warrior if I know that at any moment I'm not in a raid situation a group of naked casters will go full nuke/train mode just to steal my shit and RMT it.
So you're not PvPing for PvPing sake, you're forming death squads to remove loot from other players which 9/10 you won't even use yourself, because it's much lulz to destroy some poor cleric 6v1 and take his only +WIS item even though you're a wizard and never can can use nor want that +4 wisdom tunic; you're taking the item not for profit but to essentially rage out this cleric so he whines in OOC so you can laugh at him before he just quits.
Case and point, on Secrets discord box I farmed a full suit of kael cleric armor and delevel'd myself to use the 500 pt AoE heal clicky to plvl my guildmates in the Warrens, Cast and crew rolled in 6v1 and chain blinded/stunned/pet'd down my cleric and looted the full suit of armor then
DELETED it, it wasn't cause he wanted the armor for his pals or anything of that nature he wanted to take the armor because I linked it in OOC then remove it completely from my possession to force me to camp this shit all over again; thus wasting two days of my time and making me not want to play the box again, because who wants to play the box when every time you obtain something there are a dozen naked casters dedicated to removing that item from your body just to link it to you before clicking that delete button.
Pals need to stop acting like item loot is anything but a hardcoded griefing tool.
