I dont know how long since you played EQ but youre not killing hard twinks even 5v1 if people are wearing throwaway vendor trash, best outcome is he cant kill your entire group, has to dodge for a bit and you get time to scoot. It needs close to rallos pop levels so the entire zone pretty much is waiting for the twink, peasant revolt style to get that twink pelt.

The no drop gear means that you can still try without losing your gear, so then it gets *sorta* fun to fight a twink because you get to have a fighting chance and the twink is the one risking something, which is why i said ok on 1.0 but not without this tweak. I remember how fucking annoying it was on rallos before my no drop set that twinks would still loot my trashy cloth.

If people are 5v1 with ok no drop gear that they cant lose, the twink has to be more careful and cant risk having to bag everything so most likely he will have a setup like everything no drop and a fungi, so he can bag it just before he dies. It makes the twinks less powerful and for more even pvp. A small percentage will get cocky and still wear it all, making them like a world boss that creates emerging gameplay and interesting pvp while leaving casuals with basically 0 risk of getting griefed besides corpse runs.
