Remove drops if Resi's are made to be Pve only

Others do lupi... have you not realised the huge rivalry ingame between the remaining NL / NM players and DL? Also arcanix can choose to pk if they like but they don't. The game was designed to have a loot reward system for Pking.
i think what you are asking for is crazy, firstly because you have the option to TP, you have the option to revive and get a penalty then TP and thirdly you can carry u limited resi's and then TP with no real loss to you....

Like mentioned before unless you are prone dc'ing there is no excuse as to why you should loose items from being pk'd.

literally dont understand the idea at all really as its a 1 in a million chance that someone actually dcs and drops something - and even then the item is hardly ever not returned

if it is removed than that really does bring the point of pking to a solid 0

Let's get this straight, nobody PK's people for gear. Gear only drops when someone DC's.
When was the last time anyone dropped gear PK'ing? I've PK'ed a fair few times on my years here, and only seen it a handful of times and all to people DC'ing.

Your all bagging on Lupi, but it's a good idea. It's so harsh on people dropping items due to a lag or a DC.

Removing drops would have no impact on PK'ing at all whatsoever.

With all the problems people seem to be having with disconnects and the fact a large part of our community are chinese/Korean it might even make more people PK.

That being said, A lot of the people Lupi speaks of would still not participate.

It happened only this week an evasion helm was dropped... it was also returned with a slight fee asked to return it. About three weeks ago I had a crit earring dropped and returned it. So it does happen OTD. It's not the main reason we pk, as I'm sure it's not yours either but you have to admit if I dropped my +5 BWA to you then you'd be pretty chuffed.

Not bagging on anyone, he's talking as if suddenly drops were removed that arcanix and all these other silent level 100's would suddenly start taking part in pk fights lol which they're not going to. If they wanted to pvp they'd be doing it already.

Open to ideas as I've already said but the reasoning makes no sense to me, highly doubt it will get angel moral players to suddenly start taking part.

I don't know you from Adam, so would most likely return. I've only had 2 things ever drop and returned them both.

To think that it's the reason people leave town to pk is folly. It''a at most 1% of the reason PK happens.

If I chose to PK you Mitchy, dropping your items wouldn't even figure in my head as a reason for doing it.

I'd gladly return all drops on the basis of who the person is because there's a fair few who I wouldn't return drops to simply because they've kept drops from others and spent their time talking shit in world chat or setstatus instead. Those people wouldn't get a return from me, since I know they themselves don't return things.

This post doesn't interest me because I don't pk. (So don't have a go) but if all these people who say they return items then whys it an issue to remove items? Seems to be the people who don't want it removed saying they return items?

I hope to God someone gives me back my hardened blood bow. It's the only one I have 😎

its more that the main thing that needs changing with pk system is for pking to mean something - the change lupi keeps suggesting by all accounts would not change anything and to be honest would take away the single 'benefit' left to pking even if it never actually happens

if anything the drop system being more brutal would encourage more pvp between guilds, not the other way around

finito has mentioned about looking at different befits, some sort of honour system like wow, the idea is there, and no ones saying there souldnt be some reward, just don't think it should be ppls items

"PIKUTIN"if anything the drop system being more brutal would encourage more pvp between guilds, not the other way around


it would just encourage the biggest guild ingame to go on a mass pk spree, resulting in a lot of ppl to stop playing, due to loseing valued items and unable to hunt

yeh i agree that a more brutal system wouldnt happen i just dont get the logic in removing that 0.1% chance of getting your enemies item. ive played 3 years and prob had 3 items drop to me in pvp.. its just a non point really.
