Game Mechanics: Item loot: a PLAGUE to the red RMT market

[Nirgon]

How bout it Rogean?

I've advocated 4 lvls / no xp on death / item loot from day 1.... we're so close now.

Alecta got us to the point you can see a looted player's equipped/bags.. only thing left is make everything but primary/secondary/range/no drop/bags lootable.

This also puts unrest griefer twinks on NOTICE.

Furthermore, it gives players a reason (read: reason to log in) not to be in the huge zerg guild that "kills the server".

More players, less RMT, more praise and donations from people who actually appreciate classic EQ PvP.

I'm sure you will hear people saying they will leave immediately if implemented, but let's be real. They said that when you delvl'd them for MQ, or removed maps, or compass, or fixed invis pulling, or fixed Sirran, or fixed proximity aggro... now its time to add a classic feature that will crush thoughts of buying pixels.

I have it on good authority that the High Priest may drop a contribution or two to red. I can think of no one better to seal the deal.

Oh yeah, it is classic on an FFA server. It's just another classic feature that didn't make it in at launch like everything else we've researched and worked so hard to get right on blue.
