People HT themselves and suicide into mobs regularly to avoid YT, which is pretty much meaningless.

Just imagine how fast people will ditch, and the lengths they will go to avoid PvP, when an item is on the line.

Yeah imagine how fast people ditch when they realized they are about to get PKed Irl..

Most fights these days are ambushes with IED's ( waiting at zone lines and druid rings)... Nighttime Raids ( get them engaged to mobs) or drone, car bomb, airstrike....ie mage bolt/ pet or wizzi nukes... ( who sticks around for that sh!t?

So what i am hearing you say is pvp will become more realistic, more fear, more adrenaline, and just that much more exciting and intense...,

Item loot introduces the slot machine dynamic to pvp... once you win once you have to keep playing to try to get that same feeling again... without item loot and fighting over raid mobs and rare spawns, thete is nothing that visceral or compelling about a 14 year old elf simulator...
