I love the fantasy horror scenarios that act like item loot PVP didn't exist on classic, and totally rock.

If yer sitting around AFK like an idiot waiting for a wizard to drop a nuke on you in sebilis then you're going to learn pretty quick to stop wearing your gear worth big money, and if that wizzie is alone you are going to drop him pretty quick and if he is naked he is going to be like a 2 hit kill for your gang. Forget about it.

You learn to protect your equipment and you learn when you want to go all out in PVP. Its scary and more fun...and you definitely obviously collect a set of no drop stuff that is as good as possible so you can pvp care free. Both ways are fun and it means people are putting something at risk when they wear maxxed out crazy gear.

Items getting taken stimulates the economy as more people have items to sell that they hijacked off of other players so the economy wouldn't be a totally stale dead place like it is on red99. Stuff was so affordable on Rallos Zek it wasn't even funny (compared to these servers)

Its like you imagine some naked wizzie who logs on ever few hours and gets himself a fungi tunic off the nearest melee AFKing nearby or something. Ridiculous scare tactics from world of warcraft players or people that only care about keeping a server stagnant and collecting pixels while the level 1-50 population is non existent and 75 percent of the content is unused because no one bothers to be anything but top level. It all makes the game a lot less enjoyable and prevents anyone from coming here.

Item loot would mean a legitimately different experience than any other currently played MMO type game anywhere, it is a real reason to play this game as opposed to other MMO's and the fact that duping and other types of cheats aren't present here means that the fighting has real meaning and the items have real value. It is more fun, it is more risky, it is more scary, everything you do is more important, and the people around you that see you at 3% hp and don't kill you become your real friends, and the people that decide to take a cheap shot become real legitimate and permanent enemies and the whole community knows them for the type of greedy PK they are. Its a different game completely and everyone is missing out by being too uncomfortable to try to play a game where PVP is actually meaningful.
