I don't mean to say that farming gear shouldn't be a part of the MMO pvp experience, investing time, exploring, to find those good +5sv items IS part of what makes EQ pvp funner than just quake.
But having to spend 3 yrs to catch up to people decked out in no drop +5 sv all is no fun.
Having the ability to group and use teamwork and item loot, and aquire equivelent gear without investing PvE time would be a lot funner than spending 2 months to gear a char with jboots, pegi, and 120svs.
I lose interest in the game within 1 month and never really acheive outside of group efforts. Because I am not a pixel grinding machine and life > EQ
That is why pop sux, and PvP is on the minimum and why we lose players to attrition. Right now you have to be an allstar neckbeard MMO korean pro athlete to PvP were the TOP HEAVY population is.
