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

[Softcore PK]

No leaderboard please, we don't need to give the fratboys more pointless numbers to mindlessly obsess over. It's still football season, right?

I also don't like gear being looted from bags. If alt gear, clicky gear and such are going to be lootable, it will just result in everyone only using the gear they have on. It would limit our characters.. clerics choosing either to use stat gear or Donal's items, never both.

imo either make it RZ loot rules with no no drop items, or make it only cash things like gems, pumice, potions and wands that can be looted.

So you would rather risk having your worn items looted than your bagged ones? In one case bagged gear is safe and in the other worn gear is safe. And you are trying to argue that looting bagged items is too rough?

Think before you type.

I'm really not sure what you're trying t say :/

Under my suggestions, the players are put on something of an even playing field. Either you're always risking gear (removal of no drop tag, RZ loot rules) or you're just always risking whatever minor cash items you have on you.

If you allow people to loot gear that isn't worn, I feel you're giving an advantage to casters over melee characters. Making melee characters choose between utility or normal stat gear, while casters always have tons of utility and can still wear their stat gear. It would also mean using fun items less, like illusion masks for rogues and bards.

Really though, the RZ ruleset loot would not work here, it would just kill the population more. The only real way to include item loot, as I see it, is to make it so items like gems and potions are lootable.
