Losing xp is much, much harsher than losing one piece of gear. On RZ i would basically wear nothing but no drop and looting bods often gave out nothing. "Steep consequences" You dont know what the fuck youre talking about. Being relatively new (i joined server in early velious), i was a bit less squishy wearing 8-9 pieces of no drop gained through events against hard twinks and i could try to fight em, three, five times if i wanted without losing much more than time (which is still some kind of consequence). Regular No drop events would be key to make a loot drop server work. Exp loss doesnt make people wanna fight back when they get crushed by a zerg 10v3. It makes them log off. This is exactly what happened here. I think its funny to see people not being able to remember thats the reason the server dipped into single digit pop and population rose again when Rogean took it off. Its clear as day. Or theyre just trying to troll the staff into one last grief-o-rama before they ditch the game. Or its a laughable Bazia/Chewy im-a-manly-man-man-xploss-gives-you-hair-on-your-chest-Id-rather-have-a-twentypop-server appeal.

Xp loss also tips the scales way too much in favor of people who already know the ins and out of EQ combat. It gives less EQ-familiar crews (which incidently are often the ones getting beat on by better players with better numbers) no room to practice pvp. What is there to do when youre in crushbone and theres an unbeatable twink who makes you eat xp loss repeatedly? At least with no xp loss you can practice pvp. What risk is there when youre a fungi-wearing rogue in unrest with an epic? More often than not, you wont die and kill rag-wearing newb xp groups. Losing gear moves most of the risk to the twinks.

lol this isn't gears of war dude.

get lost n fuck off back to console.
