Item loot doesn't work in EQ. I've lived it, it isn't good. End of story. Everything you think will happen will not because the have's will always have a leg up on the have nots.
What ends up happening is a bunch of uber geared PVP focused people pushing the shit in of a bunch of sheep afraid to equip droppable resist gear. Think resists are bad now? Imagine when people won't even equip diamond rings for fear of losing them.
People talk about item loot on RZ like it was a good thing, those are by and large a bunch of RZ non factors. RZ item loot sucked balls because it made PVP worse which was the whole point of that server relative to any of the other servers in existence at the time.
Any system that revolves around the people who are the most negatively effected by losing having the highest probability of losing is shitty. That's what RZ item loot was and that is how it would be here.

If a bunch of non-factors talk about item loot positively then its a good thing. I remember seein that loot window once in a while on RZ. The key thing on RZ is the events that allowed noobs like me to have decent no drop pieces. If you dont have that here then its gonna be a problem. Not only that youve almost convinced me that item loot would be a bad thing because most people running grief twinks will have their pocket healer buffers. People like Leduke. Most of the twinks i ran into on RZ were solo. That deleveled rogue in Gfay, some melees in commons.
So i mostly agree with you. Not because it sucked on RZ though, but because it would suck here and depopulate the server unless no drop pieces are patched in because of what the pop is constituted of and even then prob a bad idea .
I said almost convinced because really what is there to do once velious content fizzles out. They could do that opt-in item loot system i proposed a long time ago. Talk to the priest of discord and you can now be looted and loot other players who are PoD flagged.
