Not sure how that would play out. It sounds harsh but with no drops sets, it isnt that bad and makes low level pvp interesting. Right now when theres a twink around options is to camp. Item loot? Option is to bag every non no-drop piece you got and get on the twink. Because he cant wear stuff without risking to lose it, its either a fair fight, which the "twink" will lose quickly if hes solo griefing a group of newbs, or theres something in it to fight back. You can die a couple of times but if you win you get a piece.

It probably would end up badly with a high level pocket healing the griefer but not because EQpvp item loot is bad in itself, but because of what kind of community the staff has let grown around their server over the years. An ideal scenario would see "good guys" also roaming the newb zones to help buff the underdogs.
