Why is everyone against item loot?

[Extunarian]

I know I'll go apeshit when I lose something, but I think item loot would be cool.

Well since this is "rants and flames" I will give my rants and flame answer that the people against item loot are panzies planning to have uber twinked lowbies and want to just dominate poorly geared lowbies without having to think twice about the risk they take wearing that gear.

99% agree...

Also, having the exp penalty in place of item-loot, is pretty much eliminated at 50, so there's really not much to lose overall in the current PvP penalty system for twinks... Since they're not the ones that will be losing the exp, but the under-geared low to mid levels they kill...Seems like the current system is penalizing the wrong people...

I will play either way. Dont really care anymore.

Let's see what happens. I know what will happen, but I have been wrong before.

[Yukahwa]

Vendar is right on that account.

But maybe some P99 non pks will play it for fun and form the anti group just like the past. Thatd be cool..some balance.

Really what item loot means is that there will be tons of naked people, tons of no-drop items, and tons of cheap-effective gear like chanter jewelery. Sooo pretty much 70% of the items in the game will not be used. Fun.

U think that, but skilled players wear their gear, i know i will! It obviously benefits to wear ur gear, so the better pvpers arent afraid, and if ur close to dying u bag ur best items. XP loss on pvp death should be enabled too.

thats all? skilled = wearing it until you start to lose then bag it? geez

True twinkin does hurt the new/late players.. but thats not you guys

all im getting is that everyone on these boards before server launch is scared to level their alts and battle twinks.
It isnt that bad, maybe run into a twink(s) once a day if you hit hot spots.. dont see any if you level in other areas.
and eventually you outgrow them as twinks like to stay low level

Idk what your all afraid of

Skilled or not, their isn't much u can do if you're getting ganked by a group of players. So if you're about to die, best bag ur shiet!

or find creative ways to xp die:
suicide mobs / take hp gear off last (plug is out unless you go god mode)

anyway, seems the only argument (besides its fun) is that twinks start to roll around with no item loot = L2P
id take that over naked population+casters galore
