I want to say I played item loot RZ for years as a successful PKer and I absolutely loved it; however the game became more and more about screwing other people over and taking risks against my account by exploiting game mechanics to kill people.

I can fully agree on the fact that a pvp environment attracts all low life and ethugs, and it is definitely not for everyone. However fun it may be, it requires INTENSIVE management on the GM level and a firm understanding by all players of the rules and that they are enforced.

Asking for a miniature pvp environment here will never happen. I could see maybe a bunch of people making pvp flagged alts as kind of a sub community; but everyone knows any pvp flagged player will be adorned in twink gear because they're scared to hell of dieing.

I was pushing in my own thread to balance the pvp alittle bit more to how it was in classic because somewhere along the way they hopped up melee hit rate/dmg and had to pvp nerf it, and I would think that would be satisfactory for me just to have my PvP balance back for duelling.

Again, just another players 2 cents. Until you've had your best item stolen by 3 people killing you and been corpse camped for hours while they laugh at you until you log off, don't think a PvP server is all about you having fun. It mostly comes down to being paranoid all the time and living for that rush and never knowing if you really can trust anyone you meet. It's a GM nightmare.
