Game Mechanics: Item loot: a PLAGUE to the red RMT market

[Nirgon]

How bout it Rogean?

I've advocated 4 lvls / no xp on death / item loot from day 1.... we're so close now.

Alecta got us to the point you can see a looted player's equipped/bags.. only thing left is make everything but primary/secondary/range/no drop/bags lootable.

This also puts unrest griefer twinks on NOTICE.

Furthermore, it gives players a reason (read: reason to log in) not to be in the huge zerg guild that "kills the server".

More players, less RMT, more praise and donations from people who actually appreciate classic EQ PvP.

I'm sure you will hear people saying they will leave immediately if implemented, but let's be real. They said that when you delvl'd them for MQ, or removed maps, or compass, or fixed invis pulling, or fixed Sirran, or fixed proximity aggro... now its time to add a classic feature that will crush thoughts of buying pixels.

I have it on good authority that the High Priest may drop a contribution or two to red. I can think of no one better to seal the deal.

Oh yeah, it is classic on an FFA server. It's just another classic feature that didn't make it in at launch like everything else we've researched and worked so hard to get right on blue.

Item Loot isn't classic. It got removed from all servers by Verant for a reason.

And why would people not want to buy items still? If anything it'd promote RMT. Why go back and camp for hours when you can just paypal some guy.

Put griefer twinks on notice? Are you dumb? They're going to grief even harder. They'll be able to kill lowbies and steal their stuff. In the off chance you somehow kill a griefer twink you won't be able to loot their epic or a lot of their no drop gear.

A lot of your bug threads and suggestions are horribly bad. Please stop.

"It isn't classic"

Actually lol'd.

[Colgate]

potus must be trolling cause one time he tried to convince everyone that necros were an awful pvp class in classic

[Potus]

You claiming you do research is even funnier.

Wait is that the thread you stopped posting in when you said people just need to learn how to put dots behind buffs? Yeah, that was pretty bad.

Necros are fine 1-50. They're garbage in Kunark and Velious. Nothing new here, anyone that played classic would know that.

necros are fine in pvp, just no skilled players here really

LOLOL found this gem of a quote, too. Yeah, no good necros have ever played here. Wasn't the RZ botb Necro on this server?

[Alunova]

I started on a PvP server and remember item loot. You only had one chance, if you mis-clicked on a bag or no drop item you couldn't try to loot again even though you didn't get anything.

I remember drooling over shin lord greaves because they were no drop ;P

Holy shit you are an idiot.

Yea griefers will TOTALLY risk their fungi, CoF and RBB for a chance at that noobs Cracked Staff.

Currently they have 0 risk at all even if they somehow get outplayed or double teamed by some noobs. They just get coined and they don't give any fucks.

Put their pixels at risk, then maybe they will think twice about griefing new players on their twinked out toons.

Big Nirgon is attempting to make this server more classic. Let it happen red. Shit, if it happens I may even roll a toon on red. Cause that would finally be some legit PvP server.

[Nirgon]

Let's take the sperg down a notch and realize this is a killer for RMT buyers

Necros are weak here because of the resist system and Thrilla obviously isn't an idiot when it comes to EQ PvP.
