Don't get me wrong, I think it's really fun, but when you impose harsh penalties for dying in pvp, then any time someone dies to a bug, a gank, or any situation they think is 'unfair', they get frustrated and are much more likely to ragequit. I'm all for having permadeath, item loot, and all sorts of crazy hardcore shit on a pvp server, but I know I'm in the minority and most casual players don't find that appealing.

Just one example: sometimes there's a bug where another player doesn't appear in the same zone (ie, you never see them in zone, can't target them, they don't appear on /who, etc). When I used to play, I personally had gotten free kills on a few people who just never saw me in zone, and they had no idea why their health was getting lower and lower for seemingly no reason. These kills weren't a big deal because all the other players lost were a bit of exp and whatever plat they were carrying on them. If the server had item loot though, then they could possibly lose their t-crown, trak BP, or whatever other insanely valuable droppable item they were wearing. What's a player going to do in that situation? Petition the GM's for their item back?

I'm not saying item loot can never work, but this server needs a lot more bugs fixed before it can ever be considered - and even then, most players find it a little too harsh of a death penalty and would be discouraged from playing.
Wrong game brah lemme help you out

Don't see the need for two server's that revolve around PVE grinding and raiding, if your gonna make up pvp rules and cater to blue's pls refer to my link.

You have awful reading comprehension if that's what you took away from his post. He makes good points, this server is horribly bugged at the moment and putting in item loot without rectifying those bugs would be retarded.

Good point heartbrand.

I think that the bad structure of the server is the cause of low interest in the server, rather than a few important and totally ridiculous bugs.

We need both for to thrive.
