Item loot from a casual players perspective.

[Yukahwa]

People that will quit over items will also quit over non item loss PVP deaths.

Server pop will hurt when people trying to grind run into people 8 levels above them maxed out in unlootable gear. With 8 level PVP range it means it is going to take 16 damn levels to get out of PVP range from a twinked clown.

Guy that want no item loot are obviously pansys or want to have free reign on griefing once they hit 50 with their mains and can start making twinks. You're sacrificing the entire rest of the game in the name of allowing people to wear mithril greaves when they get them. Gimmie a break.
