I posted this somewhere and I didn't see much feedback on it.
Make PKs grant a token depending on level, like SZ had.
Tokens can be exchanged for gear. Gear would be copies of existing equipment but have a flag/prefix/suffix whatever to mark it as obtained via PVP. So maybe call it a "Fungus Covered Scale Tunic of Zek". Same stats, effects, etc. Items are non-drop.
Make the "of Zek" items lootable, regardless of inventory slot, bag, etc. Maybe even banked stuff. All normal items are non lootable like R99 is now. Coin loot regardless.
In my mind this does three things:
1. Limits PVP item drops to the realm of PVP.
2. Encourages PVP not only to acquire items off corpses but to get the items in the first place. Essentially turns red to blue. You could gear out a character by jacking people up.
3. Encourages people to wear their best gear, even if its an item they can lose to make PVP better and help to ungimp melees in an item loot situation.
