Item loot from a casual players perspective.

Dunno how to phrase this, but you sound like a noob Crensh, fine item loot won't effect the crushbone pvp when melees are wearing patchwork, you're correct there.

Don't need to get into the list of actual items that require days/weeks to obtain that people won't be able to wear, or will wear and get hate wanded down or ivandyr hooped into losing, among many other greasey shit. The arguments old people know what they want or don't - Nilbog/Rogean will decide for themselves.

Not many items in classic take that long to get at level 50 and the ones that do are no drop.

If you are wearing your cloak of flames / fbss / slimeblood or something else that has taken you forever to get and get ganked you deserve to lose it. You just gotta learn who to trust.

Its all about if you should wear things or not.

How does this make me sound like a "noob"
