    this argument has been made many times and so far we have never had a GM response on it. personally i agree that it should be the person who killed/party member only for 10 seconds just like mob drops.

    Loved your WC Rage last night b:victory

    Wish I was there to gather your drops.

    I should point out something for everyone.

    Farming herbs or mining mats was sooooooo 2009. Creating a blue name and farming PK drops is 2010 b:dirty

    YES!!!!! Timer on PvP Kill DROPS!!!!! God I hate being a farcaster (you know shooting spells from far away?) and when your opponent does drop an item, there is always a ****ty blue name, their teamate, or some random idiot standing there and they see a colored drop and go "ooo colorful item! *pickup* Mine." Please do something about tis.. at least 2 minutes...after that, make it available for all to pickup!b:pleased

    2 minutes is too long. 30 seconds is sufficient. Even if you are in a PK battle, if some yllow mold drops, who cares if someone is attacking you just get your rear in gear to that drop. b:victory Cause, if not I'll be there to clean up the garbage.

    Yeah, I log on to HT occasionally to say hi to friends and laugh my bum off at all the 10x blue names hanging out at west gate waiting for PK drops.

    They are 10x with usually OP gear and could PK their own freaking drops!

    Of course on HL the 10x make a blue name alt , which means it is under lvl 30, and do the same. b:chuckle but it is way more amusing to see the blue name 10x do it.

    I thought you folks on PvP servers were all against wussy protections and all for "if someone does something bad, PK him" type justice?

    No timer on dropped PK loot (I won't even get into the difficulty of determining who "killed" a player when there are multiple damage sources and multiple heals). Just flag it so blue names cannot pick it up.

    I completely agree. Just like when you get credit for killing a mob and you are the only one who can pick up for a short amount of time
