Thumbs up Item loot: it CAN be good for the server!

I think item loot really can work if the focus is on making it FUN and not grief city where ppl just run and bag their gear from naked mages.

Proposing that lootable items include:

1) all expendable clickies (golem wands, pumice, larrikans mask, conflag wands, all player made pots, all store bought pots, etc - anything with a finite number of charges that isn't no-drop. Aon would not be loot able because it has unlimited charges)

2) all stackable items (bone chips, gems, arrows/boulders even if equipped, food/water, etc.)

3) am I missing anything? ....

Letting ppl loot clickies and stackables gives them SOMETHING, and it may even be a pretty cool thing.. but for whoever lost it, it is not grief-inducing, because they would have used it up at some point anyway. Just gets expensive if every time you die you lose your 10-dose cure pots. Or you could go with single or 5-charges to reduce your loss, but at the expense of bag space. Same with stackable items. Maybe a mage spreads out all his malachites among his bags so a whole stack can't be taken.. anyway. You guys have any ideas on what a FUN way to implement item loot would be? And by fun I mean, the killer has the joy of looking for goodies to loot, but the guy who died will only suffer minor annoyance and not depression inducing sadness when his fungi/manastone goes away because he didn't run from the naked mage and bag it quick enough.

(Also, coin loot of course stays in.)

EDIT:
I guess it wasn't clear enough from the above.. lootable items would NOT include equippable gear of any kind, UNLESS it was an EXPENDABLE, DROPPABLE clickie. for example, Larrikan's mask is a shitty mask that you can equipp that has 10 charges of invis. you could loot that off someone's mask slot. that shield with 10-charge of rune is also another wearable item that could be looted, etc. all other items could not be looted.

If you guys think its too griefy to allow even 2 or 3 "good" items to be looted (like that rune-shield) then.. we coudl make it only BAGGED stackable/clickables. (It was not my original intent that any equipped items would be lootable. But what i described dis allow for the occasional snag of worn gear, and I kinda like it. most ppl wouldnt even consider trying to loot equipped gear, b/c 99% of the time, the bags would have the only lootables)
