Why are the developers of Aventurine making Darkfall a player looting game?

Darkfall ceo is a retard! Who wants to lose his hard earn equipment? No one does! This is why I'm making this petition to save Darkfall from a miserably failure because No ONE PLAYS a player looting game nowadays. The player-looting era ended with Runescape that game is horrible due the fact its pvp was player looting type. I play mmorpg for progression and my progression means alot to me and many other people aswell, neither they or I want to lose my equipment to some asshole!

I want Darkfall to be a successful mmorpg, but the approach Aventurine is taking will only lead Darkfall to its failure!

Sign my petition @ http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/SaveDarkfall TY!

They are targeting people that want full looting.

Play another game. There is progression in other games, too. In most other games it is visible to others, too.

 Besides skills, your reputation is your progression.

And you have just gotten off on a very bad start, my friend.

 Yes ,player looting always = fail,just look at EVE ... it only has +300k subs.

So you wanna remove one of the KEY features in Darkfall ?
If so please make another petition and remove that "real time" fps style combat .. i wanna have classic button smashing.

Hard earned equipment meaning does not exist in DF . Have u even tried to read the DF features???

IT IS A SKILLED PROGRESSION CHARACTER GAME AND NOT MUCH GEAR PROGRESSION GAME!!!

Your curent lvl does NOT depend on the lvl of your items like it happens in wow for example.

How strong is your character = 80% how smart is your skill/talent build + how skilled you are in manual combat and only 20% how good is your gear...

Just exactly as it should be. Skill vs gear and quality vs quantity ^^

Hahaha.. either you are a very bad troll, or you are a wow-bread-kiddie who needs to go back to wow and leave the mature games to others.

I do have a good mind to send you over to  forums.darkfallonline.com/ but I just can't bring myself to do that.. (am I getting soft??) since you will be eaten alive in forumfall (even in the newb-forum).

So take a friendly advice and go away, just go away..

Edit: I feel the need, the need for a poll..

thats fail Oo LMAO Ok

Er.. let me get this straight.. you want to petition to take away one of the things that makes Darkfall truly unique? One of the things that got me (and prolly not just me) interested in the first place? Of course no one wants to lose their stuff, but they want to be able to take other people's stuff and those two things are kinda.. inseparable?

Seriously.. I think we should have you stuffed and preserved for posterity.

lmao nice try :)

If you do not want to lose your "hard worked" equipment, well then do not die. Beside that if you play the game you suppose to play it then you should get as much loot from PvP as you would lose from PvP. Also why do you think you lose hard worked loot? How come you think you have to work hard for it? Work and games are two terms with should not be used together, if you feel like you are working for you equipment then you really need to pick an other game.

I am keeping an eye on DF myself.  Looting players is a blast as long as the gear is easily replaceable.

Love all the PVP folks that think they are hardcore pvp until you add:

1. Penalties

2. Looting Players

3. Dropping loot for being a greifer and negative kharma

Good for DF. 

mmmmmm Item Loot

now if they can add a gold sink for a destroyable guild city like shadowbane, you can have pvp for items, gold; then you can put the gold into the guild city for the siege pvp = meaningful pvp

To the OP

You do realise this is not WoW right ? Your "hard earned" items don't involve visiting the same dungeon 100 times to get the sword of  pwn more.

Yes in item centric games full loot pvp doesn't work simply because noone would risk his purple staff of awesomeness to someone that ambused him:P

But DF isn't itemcentric. So at best the full looting is just an inconvinience rather than 100 more times visiting the same dungeon.
