Seriously, I've played the game. I don't need to perform a thought experiment to find out how things pan out.

What negative experiences have you had?

That's a horrible analogy.

I edited my post for that reason. Your quick tho. I was then killed by a level 4 mage who just got his new pets.

Just in general, having to think about bagging while you're fighting sucks. You're not concentrating on what you should be and it takes the fun away. Some classes have to do more than /pet attack /click spell slot

Blind classes had a blast during item loot days. Gave me lots of "oh shit" moments too.

now that I've had some time to think about it, as much as I missed item loot when they removed it, it didn't take away from the fun in the end. If item loot minimalizes the population, then I hope we don't implement it. Anything for a bigger population ... more friends and more enemies, more to hunt and to be hunted by.

First off, I FAVOR item loot. That said, fighting naked casters all day, and /looting nothing because of leet bagging skills was most of my experience with item loot when it was available.

Next, bi-curious blubies won't play, a lot of PvP vets that DON'T like item loot won't play, and so on.

I want as many targets as possible...not into limiting those targets right out of the gate.

Agree with above, this isn't 2001 anymore and we need to weigh "too much punishment" against who will accept the risk (population).

Too much punishment and we'll all be standing around with our dicks in our hands talking about the good ol' days (still).

The smart thing, IMO, is to not do any item loot. Bring the people in is much more important.

Its hard for me to understand how everyone feels just from this forum. So few posters considering how many players we expect.

Item loot made it more fun for me. I wonder how many RZ guys wished there was no item loot though?

I think most posters are VZ/TZ/SZ guys that never played item loot and want it their old way.

Why would people that dont want to fight come to pvp? I just liked more risk/more reward. Fighting naked casters all day is just the same as fighting geared casters if you cant loot the geared ones and you can loot the naked ones..except the naked ones are easier to kill.

Its alright guys.

We had item loot on TZ/VZ.... for a long time. RZ population increased when TZ/VZ removed it.
