Item loot would be awesome - but i think most people who are experienced in pvp will be scared that people who are new to pvp will rage quit

by the time ppl are high enough to have decent gear to get looted from pvp itll be a lot harder for them to quit for good due to exp ratio. item loot would be wonderful but most cant handle it

I could care less if item loot is in. But Rogean and crew are banking on some players from blue99 coming over to red99 and not all of them are die hard pvpers.

Item loot doesn't mean you have to be a die hard PVP player. Geesh wheesh. Item loot with tighter level limits mean there is less possibility of lowbies being persistently dominated by players they have no potential for defeating. I think there needs to be item loot and a progressive level limit increase. 1-30 or so it should be 4 levels and after that the level limit increases. A level 42 is much better matched to a level 50 than a level 12 is to a level 20.

8 level limit with no item loot is just asking for twinks to walk all over lowbies trying to EXP with zero risk for loss. It gives the hunter even more of an advantage over the hunted because the hunted.

I'm a hardcore pvper I guess.

I think droppable loot is like currency, and should be loottable. If you /consented someone in prekunark live, they could loot your corpse pve style. /shrug.

That is why they should have xp loss on pvp death. As well as having 0 mana.

Everything can be considered detrimental to server health. I heard the same predictions about p99 before it launched.

No translocators - detrimental to server health
No soulbinders - detrimental to server health
No boxing - detrimental to server health
No classic exp rate - detrimental to server health

And after the server launched?

Keep global chat, else it will be detrimental to server health!
Get rid of exp penalties, else it will be detrimental to server health!

On and on. I don't believe any of you can predict the future and most predictions are just wrong.

I'm not forcing my opinions for pvp, because pvp servers had different rules.

I think if there's a twinked out lvl 9 in full rubi killing all the newbs, 10 of them should be able to rape him and take a piece. It's naive to assume that no item loot will stop griefing. The griefers will just be able to keep all their gear.

The problem was really the bagging. If item loot is allowed, the bags shouldn't be sacred ground. Pretty simple really.

Like a lot of people have said, looting should be implemented at first, and if it proves to be a problem for population, it can be removed. Just please make sure there is no way to circumvent an item loot. Please.
