I voted against Item Loot. Many people have already listed excellent reasons for being against it. Smedy made a great post above me for general reasoning.

For a more selfish reason, I grind/farm/camp my ass off to get what I have. I like the pvp environment even though I do not participate in pvp, but if there was item loot on Red now I could easily lose item I spent days to weeks farming to buy to some asshole who rolled a wizard when their spell ranges were broken, or to bards when Highsun was an unresistable lockdown-debuff.
I know I am a fucking weirdo not pvping on a pvp server, but there will be lots of others that will run around solo or as a duo with a friend or "spouse that never moves at the same time but is totally real and not being boxed on my ip exemption" and they will stay that way for a multitude of reasons. Those people are going to work for what they have, and for it to be taken by someone, especially a newbie who got geared by a guild, is extremely unfair.

Say what you want, but some people like soloing. I do. I also talk in tells 95% of the time or more because I don't care to have my conversations public.
