item loot etc
Inc, Wall of Text!
Summary: Sadism and Pixel greed ftw.
I played RZ, I liked coin+ single worn item (not weapon slots) loot. I played a warrior so gear was very important but still i preferred single item loot over our current system.
R99 pvp gets you some coin(if they don't just destroy it first), possibly a contested camp, lulz for sending people to their bind points, and.. well thats about it.
RZ pvp got you all that and the potential for an item
i think there was another official eq server where you got some sort of currency (signets?) for pvp.
right now our pvp rule set encourages sadism and thats about it, which if that tickles your Twinkie -- grats.
what i would like to see is a system that encourages both Sadism + pixel greed...
Single item loot is incentive to pvp -- this is the point where people chime in about naked caster gankers -- but really isn't a naked caster a better thing to have running around than a fully geared caster -- less resists, less mana, etc.
The big thing that item loot helps with in the long run is low level twink griefers -- if you can't lose anything why wouldn't you deck your twink out with the best tradeable stuff. Now if you can lose that fungi tunic on your lvl 4 monk, well that might make you pause for a second before equipping it.
in summary: Sadism and Pixel greed ftw
