Item loot from a casual players perspective.

[Crenshinabon]

I played on RZ back in 99. I played a shadowknight before they even had their lifetap series of spells. Pvp was the best here than I know of in any video game.

I hear a lot of people saying that it is a casters advantage to have item loot and the game will have nothing but casters. Well first off, there will always be more casters than melee even with non pvp loot. Second, all the melee will start with no real gear anyways and most the gear has AC which doesnt help vs casters anyways. Now with everyone being naked melee will hit casters harder, and casters will have less mana to use on spells.

It really does even out.

Now on to twinks and PKs. It was always a rush trying to kill a twink knowing you might get a bad ass piece of gear off them. This is good for anyone. It will make people want to try and kill the twink and take the gear as opposed to just running away. With no item loot, you kill the twink then what? Hes back in 5 minutes doing the exact same thing. It will also discourage twink with chance you will get ganked. I always loved trying to ban togather to kill people who thought they were invincible wearing all their gear. It is a huge rush.

I remember I would always try to find obscure areas to level in so I could put my gear on. I had so much fun exploring around looking for some cool spots to level. Also you can always wear a few pieces of gear that is easily bagable as long as you don't have all your good gear on.

Really item loot is the best there is. Real incentive to pvp. And not to mention incentive to doing obscure no drop armor quest. I remember I loved the Lguk area because of Shin armor being no drop.

I am not sure why all the hate on item loot when most people have never even tried it.

The only thing I see being a problem is the level range would need to be a bit smaller so you would not get ganked by someone 8 lvls above you in no time. Also there was a problem with groupmemebers dropping group and killing you. This would be remedied by just having it so i you group with someone you cannot pk them for at least a minute or two.

I am PRO item loot. Please get this in!
