Imagine the intense PVP at the basalt carapace/shin greaves camp in Lguk.

No love for the Grim Pauldrons? Has history been forgotten?

Guk best zone in game even in velious, I'd support that

logged in last night for the first time in a year or so. went straight to guk on my warrior and slaughtered the undead bastard frogs. the only zone where the pve is still goog after all these years. i then ported a few people around and handed out buffs before retiring to my bed.

Well once you hit kunark that takes all the fun out of it with all the jarsath and planar armor. Nothin like 3/4 the server rocking shit like aviak charms and fiery vambraces.

the point of a pvp type server is to be able to wear all the good gear you acquire throughout your quest in norrath.

the point is not to spend all your time farming/raiding, so you can a) lose the item or b) bag the pvp item in fear of losing it. ESPECIALLY in MASS PVP

item loot for everquest is terrible. the end.

Item loot presents risk and reward for pvp. It worked fine for Rallos Zek, works fine for EvE. I want the classic PvP experience brah. If I have to deal with this terrible FFA ruleset at least give it to me the way it was meant to be.

for people who don't spend the time to actually PLAY the game, it can look good to try and gank the other persons gear

for those people who spend countless hours acquiring their loots, its not worth it.

You are only looking at it from one side. No one is forcing you to wear the best droppable gear in a pvp situation. Many people had pvp sets they wore which made pvp more balanced. The same people are always in the top guilds with access to the best gear. So you have a top guild with the most players with the best gear who risk nothing. This presents a major problem for the rest of the server. Having the wining zerg gear down or risk loots would somewhat balance this shit. BTW this is 2 fold as anyone fighting the zerg will surely expect to die and therefore attack with shit gear.

item loot is fine if you start with a wipe and want a low pop.. I doubt I would worry about it on a twinked character as its pretty easy to plug, gate, item pull if you are the gank-er but if you are the gank-ee you wont be wearing good gear, cus its p easy to take it if item loot is avail.

In the 2 years I played on rallos zek, item loot did nothing but make innocent people cry irl over a video game and made sociopaths pixel richer.

The problem with that theory is that is is just flat out wrong. The only people that take on any risk are the lesser geared people without access to raid gear which is all non drop. They bag their shit, and the gear difference is even higher.

I played through to Velious on RZ as a high end player and this situation you describe just did not exist even in the slightest.
