For people at max level, having to give away a shot at a raid zone or raid target because you lost a guild battle sucks.

There is a penalty for losing, and it doesn't have to involve a griefing tactic of costing someone experience or item loss. People should PVP for the thrill of winning or losing, there doesn't have to be a harsher penalty associated then losing the rights to whatever area/mob you had claim to in the game world.

There still is a clear pecking order. The only thing xp loss does is benefit max level players who level faster then others and encourages people to AVOID pvp because they might lose experience. It's just like on Rallos Zek, implement item loss and suddenly 99% of the server is running around naked for fear of losing their items. It's a stupid system that caters to the people who enjoy griefing as opposed to a server that encourages good, quality PVP like what we enjoyed on these servers when they were live. You wouldn't know, because you probably never played on them.

back to wow with you. xp loss gives a reason not to be like lol whatever kill me ill b back in 8 minutes. u have a reason NOT to die
