Discussion: PvP Deaths (Item/Coin/XP Loot/Gain)

[oldfish]

Im not sure if you guys read the thread where i posted this, so ill add it here as feedback. This is another reason why i think XP loss is a bad thing:

People like me like to pvp. I dont give up easy. If i get killed solo by 3 guys late at night with no backup, i wont just turn tail and run. Ill wait till they are stuck in a situation where they got their hands full and jump them 1v3. Ill continue PVP even with odds stacked against me (unless its something stupid like 6v1 but its always funny to get 2 before you die).

My point being, XP loss wont stop people who like to PVP from "Bind rushing" AKA playing the game. Its not a deterrent enough for people whose main purpose for playing on a pvp server is to... pvp. It will just set them back in the PVE grind. At some point, some people might decide that EQ PVP is already "boring" as it is (sitting down for 5-10mins each time you die) that the extra PVE grind on top of it isnt worth the fun you get from PVPing.

People sometimes deciding not to get into fights because they might die? Sounds pretty great to me; realism is fun.

I'm truly looking forward to a real XP loss in PVP. It gotta hurt when you die or it's no fun at all.

Item loot I'm only against cause I think it would make a lot of people give up and quit the server. Otherwise I'd like that also.. But the community isn't big enough these days.

Xp loss is almost as bad as item loss.

People will get deleveled by gank trains for the lulz.
