Discussion: PvP Deaths (Item/Coin/XP Loot/Gain)

[Kope]

I think exp loss would deter PVP just like item loot.

I don't like the idea of xp loss in PvP, at least not a full xp death. People can just wait for you to kill a mob, get low health/mana and gank you over and over. A little exp loss I don't think is such a horrible idea, especially at max level (there needs to be risk for the reward) but not a full xp death.

NO Yellow Text would decrease PVP (YT would make people port into fights)

Yellow text is a horrible idea. Getting spammed with "Ilikebig has killed buttsandicannotlie" over and over really...sucks :P

Item Loot would decrease PVP

Now I could be completley wrong but didn't this make RZ a virtual non pvp, pvp server? If you were labeled as a Peekay (you killed somoene) the entire server knew about it and hated you. Incentivise pvp imo.

Being able to /who all zones would decrease PVP

Disagree totally with this statement. Go /annon or /role if you don't want pvpers to know where you are, let it hang loose if you want them to find you.

A leaderboard would increase PVP

Not at all, a leaderboard would incentivise griefing. (look at knuckle on the recent pvp release, he camped CB and zoneplugged so he could get OMGZ PVP KING mode)

Anything that would deter PVP is a big failure. Don't we all want the most PVP we can get????

Yes but pvp isn't just about OMGZ KILL THEM to me. Pvp is about getting what you deserve. Fighting over a spawn and earning it. If someone's taking somoenthing you want, take it from them if you can. If you can't you don't deserve it.
