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

I'm with you Gremel but the problem is with the people that are hardcore into raiding. That isn't me, I'm pure PvP but it seems that the crowd that is into PvE cannot handle the 1 item loot.

Having a 1 item loot truly sets aside the real pvpers and the PvE guilds - RZ is proof of that. P1999 there is only 1 anti pk guild for this reason. Everyone says they are a PvP guild because PvP death isn't a big deal here. There are a bunch of PvE people that for some reason take huge pride that they are a part of the PvP game for once. Most PvPers back in the day just did it because that's what the point of the game was for them.

If the game was 1 item loot like it was back in the day, all of these zerg pvp guilds would turn anti pk and there would be 1 or 2 notable smaller pk guilds.
