On red 99 all pvp sub 60 was grief because normal people weren't trying to engage in pvp at level 20 in unrest because they stood to lose exp (non rezzable) and time and fall behind on grinding. If all 15 noobs in zone band together and kill the griefer in max droppable gear he is back there in 5 minutes smashing them with nothing lost at all.

That's because no item loot and bad custom ruleset.

On item loot ganking this lone wolf fool for loot is priority 1 for anyone with a brain it's way more fun to try to get an fbss than to kill a few more ghouls.

Other would be griefers also make other griefers targets because there is something to actually gain.

Griefers also think twice before coming out with the big guns and start to bag gear like losers and therefore become easy to kill when things get dicey. All in all rallos zek rules 1000x better for lowbie nakeds who have nothing to lose. All mellee can use free banded for life and casters literally need nothing to pwn other nakeds in classic era

A majorly broken mechanic that I'm sure staff won't bring back is the old deleveling mechanic which allowed players to retain their full skill level despite character level decrease. These deleveled epic psychopaths were truly unkillable zone bosses and the sinister joy of those griefers may never be heard in games again except in the halls of vallhalla. This was the major thing that broke the above game play on live.

That deleveling isn't possible here (while retaining skills) and epic weapons I believe have level requirements here which changes things as well.
