Can someone explain to me the purpose of looting food and water?

Is that really going to sweeten your kill to loot 20 loaves of bread?

Or stacks of items in general? If it's random, people will just carry around 20 stacks of bat wings and delete them as needed. Maybe once in a blue moon you'll get lucky and loot a stack of peridots or something.

I think half-assed item loot of that type is almost worse than normal item loot. It's just dumb and pointless.

Delete your food and water and go PvP or PvE. See how long it lasts. Then come back and tell me why taking someones food/water is actually worthwhile. Or maybe you should ask a cleric/int caster to delete their rune/rezz/pet reagents and PvP/PvE since apparently casting spells and rezzing people is not important.. lol.

The ability to force other players to leave the area because they have run out of supplies is viable (and it is not at all griefing).

Pretty hilarious everyone says shit like "its the minority that wants item loot" so you guys make a poll like this and it shows you are not only wrong, but you guys cry over and over about how the poll is now flawed. I also enjoy seeing people say item loot is "griefing" and any attempt to modify it is "half-ass".

This is a ridiculous argument. This is sort of like saying, "Go take off your clothes and run around downtown and see how how important clothes are."

Yeah, clothes are important. That doesn't mean I'm going to go mug someone to take their K-mart jeans and Goodwill T-shirt.

Looting food and water in EQ would just be annoying at best, and even then it would require the looter to be able to take ALL of the food and water their victim was carrying, not just a stack. So what, are you going to sit there and loot 10 stacks of food and water one by one? It's just silly in my opinion.

Also, pointing out this poll as being somehow indicative of item loot being popular is equally retarded. For one, this poll is incredibly poorly worded. It doesn't ask if we think item loot is good, it asks if we'd still play if there was item loot.

This is akin to asking, "If you got punched in the face on the way to the state fair, would you still go to the state fair?" If the person answers yes, you then say that they are in favor of being punched in the face. But no, that's probably not true - more likely they just really wanted to go to the state fair and wouldn't let being punched in the face stop them.

Voted yes cause i'd gladly play with item loot. Though : let it out for population's sake, need to play with more than 50 people.
