It is more of an issue do you want the top players to have to risk things like their cobalt bp or cloak of flames in fights.
I can see the argument on either side. What I can't see is the future and what needs to be held is a poll of in favor or not.
Of course, during a beta if you come up and do the on the spot interview with the person who lost an item "what do you think of item loot!?".. you know what their answer will be.
If you go with classic xp, not having item loot is fine. Having item loot certainly makes how you treat others a more serious matter and furthers the pk/anti-pk mentality. Anti-pks certainly go to war, and by PK I mean attack anyone at random versus enjoying the luxury of beating down someone who is generally a pos.
I'd strongly disagree with 8 level item loot. I'd agree with 4 levels and item loot.
The way I see things going and to keep ragequitting down and interesting at the same time, go with 8 levels and coin. My vote is still for item :P. 4 levels and item is the way the brilliant creators went with RZ and it is no mystery why the all range or 8 level servers didn't have item loot.
