I honestly think that pro item looters are the minority, though maybe by just a bit - say 45 / 55 or 40 / 60. Others have pointed out that the sample you are getting from the message boards isn't a good reflection of the population as a whole.

I am 100% for item loot, and will probably play a rogue classic..., but I think what it will do to the population is not worth it. I think we're talking 5-600 instead of 2-300 off the bat. But who knows, it'll probably depend on the ruleset.

And as you said, it'll be a no drop quest fest.


+1 to Lethdar's entire post.

I dont think anyone will admit to not playing with item loot, but its just too hard on the melees. And esp tanks. They need the items to be able to pvp, and the gearing up time is just too rough to risk it.
This is the truth. Casters rule till planar, and most non-casters don't have the cahones to see through a real grind to 46 with item loot.

This is an argument that I strongly disagree with. The very first time I played rallos zek, it was a blast. I was brand new, got killed mercilessly dozens of times, but it was a lot of fun. Greater faydark was larger and darker then and around every corner could be a guy just waiting to take me out. I was utterly poor in the game, but it was the most fun I've ever had.
You are the anomaly. Bluebies fucking hate being killed mercilessly once, let alone multiple times. Look at the server list for EQ live...why so many PvE servers bro? Because most people that play EQ are blue to the max.
