do you think exp gain from pvp *might* be exploitable?

I don't understand...why would it be more exploitable than any other kind of exp...if you mean bind camping and griefing, isn't that part of the deal? and isn't there other mechanisms in place to prevent that kind of stuff..really not sure what you mean here. You either get exp from pvp or you don't.

or are you suggesting a pvp server where you DON'T get exp from pvp? I haven't been following the discussions and I'm not familiar with eq pvp but i've played a lot of pvp on other games and pvp without exp seems kind of silly.

there has never been a server where one gains XP from pvp.

Ah, ok, didn't know that. Still, I would think that if you get exp for kills, but

a) only if they are relatively close to you in level, and
b) only if they are a legit enemy team member, and
c) only if you haven't killed them like x times before in the last y minutes

it might promote pvp over pve to some extent without being hugely exploitable.

I don't think impacting xp positive or negative is a good idea for promoting PvP. PvP in itself slows down xping.

Level capping is somewhat interesting. It was annoying as hell to read all the PvE crazed exploiters bragging as if leveling the fastest was something PvPers cared about. It might force these people to actually /gasp PvP. While there would be some consequences I don't think it would be detrimental long term, unless items that get removed form the game were taken out before people got to those levels.
