Enjoy your lone box.
I've tried playing on it and this same sort of behavior led me off of it. No one is keeping tally and what's the fun in killing someone that can't/won't fight back?

You seem proud, but you probably just brought red from 45 pop to 43... you just lost a possible 5% of your server pop. congrats. dumbass.
Ive tried for months and months to try to drive this point home to devs, that is it completely ridiculous to ask people starting out on the server to face twinks out to delevel them with xp loss in pvp.

Without xp loss, non-twinks will still get their asses kicked but they can attempt to fight back, get better at fighting... etc... without losing PVE grind time (which is boring as fuck on a low pop server)

I think the problem is that devs dont play their own box, so they play with game mechanics but didnt put the time it takes to get a perspective on how bad it is. They rely on false feedback saying XP loss is a non-factor by people who need xp loss in PVE either to control PVE (Nihilum) or get their kicks griefing people with it.

I dont blame the devs for not playing their box cuz dev'ing must be time intensive but i think this is where the problem might be.

I dont even have the joy of Classic to play say, a lvl12 wiz twink alt because i will feel bad that my naked opponent loses xp each time i kill him and might leave the box instead of duking it out.

Theres blue, theres LoZ theres here, the population is at 90 ish primetime. Hoping it stays up, slow xp, dieing with xp loss and pvpree is not for everyone it takes "A special mindset, level of maturity/imaturity/ignorance". Most of us like it like this and I dunno what the old hats are being dramatic about, trying to earn forumite points or something. I can make the same argument as you do "I dont have time to enjoy this game" ... well key word here is enjoy... your not going to enjoy it at all if you attack it from the mentality that you should be on a level playing field with everyone else, thats not what MMO/EQ/Neckbeardquest is about.

Its like being mad that everything is so perfectly fair and balanced in rocketarena... and you can never get the upper hand by poopsocking or twinking an alt, or rolling with the right crew... or making friends.
