Nilbog's Old Teams back to the top

I love rolling in rags.

I love chasing people down when you see that off color silver BP that you know is an ikky regen.

And you just hope when they pull their DJARNS it will be right on server tick and they will survive the ring pull and you can kill the death stroke, and loot that Djarns, which was always pretty high priced.

You can hunt twinks. Its hilarious and great fun.

And yeah when you're raiding dragons your friends can help you out, and you mostly get geared in no drop by then anyways.

In ALL INSTANCES a low level character is GARBAGE on pvp, but only with item loot is there a plus side. Let me explain

1. No item loot, 4 level range. Twinks are unstoppable and there is no reason to fight them, you just get killed and go some where else till they log off. Lowbies have bad time just wanna level up. You are in rags anyways.
2. No item loot, infinite pvp range. Twinks for PK don't exist, they just get killed by high levels so the twinks are just for grinding and occasional murder. Lowbies still have bad time, just wanna level up. You are in rags anyways.
3. Item loot, 4 level range. Twinks for PK exist, but they risk their armor. They are worth killing. Your shitty rags and banded armor are not worth hunting. IF the twink is super strong, he has items worth taking. You try to kill him and occasionally you succeed in kill shot, and get loot.


NOW for high levels.

1. No item loot, 4 level range - Doesn't matter
2. No item loot, infinite range - Doesn't matter
3. Item loot, 4 level range - You have a lot of no drop gear to choose from, so you do fine. When you raid you equip droppable resist gear.


The only argument against item loot is by high level guys that don't want to lose their fungi tunics. The only other argument against item loot is by VELIOUS high level people that are getting shit stomped by fully skyshrine + + + geared invincible full no drop +10 to all stats guys and they have no way to even attempt to gear up to compete.

So like, we can just not go to velious, that's fine.

At this point having no item loot just seems completely stupid. Sorry you don't get to wear a rubicite BP all the time. Its great having the platinum economy way way more balanced and these farmable droppable items are significantly devalued. It makes the server better.

It's different for sure, but the game play is better.

The argument that casters win is silly because a naked meleee on vanilla has almost identical resists to a rags geared one, meaning almost all spells land for almost 100%. That is a problem that doesn't go away.

On LIVE 100 MR meant CC basically didn't land. We would need to do tiered resists of some kind because there just isn't any resist gear on Vanilla and then in kunark if you leave resists in place I think casters might get pretty neutered. It needs a close look.
