Back on topic.. i'd be severly pi**ed off at replacing my guildies uniform every five minuets!

Even if looting was allowed, who the hell would want to steal GM armor all the time?

I mean, my house wouldnt even hold all the armor I would have

Melt metal, cut leather.. . tada... thats why i would loot
Ofcourse seeing how bad i am in pvp i would most likely loose out on that deal

Open looting would be pointless and would create more bad feelings and hostility than anything good. I'd prefer if the tensions between guilds were more superficial and part of a storyline than actual, personal hostility.
Looting only leads to hatred, and hatred is not an emotion I play the game to experience.

To say it would create more RP opportunities seems like a hollow excuse to me. RP, storylines, and plots can be crafted at any time for any reason. Just ICQ the people you want to be involved, and presto, you have a storyline, without the potential bad blood and hurt feelings.

The whole reason all of us are part of this organization is so we have the confidence that the other players are following the same rules. Open looting just promotes greed, hostility, and a pointless time sink for the victims. It would encourage more random violence outside of RP that isn't good for this community.

At the end of the day, it's pointless anyway as no one will carry anything valueable, so why loot them at all? Anything worth over 500 gold will be insured or in the bank, so the most you'd get is a couple bandages. You really want to risk bad real life feelings for something you can buy in the tailoring shop?

Your thinking too small guys, i tell you what i would do with a shed load of looted armour.

I would ranson it back to the guild it belongs too, or even use it in some nefarious schemes etc etc. They are so many options if you think about it.

There's a lot of things you can do with a lot of things Raul, the problem is most people can't be arsed.

It's a good idea to make some kind of event out of it Raul, but you can still do that now, cause you'd have to icq and plan something anyways. Let's say you take my armour after a fight and plan on selling it back or so, you'd have to tell me, cause else I'd just buy new armour or make it myself wouldn't I?

Would be much more fun if we had something like the faction sigils. Yew charges Vesper and wins. They then take the city/guild item then head off back to Yew. There they celebrate or what ever and Vesper are blaming eachother for the loss etc. Then Vesper plans an attack to get it back, but fail miserably. Yew then blackmails Vesper into helping them fight back Cove during the next week, and payment for doing this is getting the item back.

Vesper might then talk to Cove behind Yew's back to turn on Yew and destroy them so they can just take their item back. Then fight Cove for Yews city/guild item... and so on and so. I think that would make a hell of alot more fun RP and PvP.

I still say having to replace guild members armour everyday would be a total pain. Personally I supply most of my guild with good metal, which ends up costing me a bomb.
