Whens pwi going to fix this? and if you dont know what i mean im talking about the fact that theres atleast 30 blue named players on the lost city server that sit there at west gate stealing all items that drop from PVP, Its really unfair that WE risk our items for PVP and dont even get the benifit of being able to grab our drops, need to fix it like a dungeon were that party is only able to grab the items for a specific time frame. I'll even give you a dollar to write the code for this just so it gives u some initiative.

    Maybe the idea is to stop doing pvp to get something out of it and just do it because its fun?

    Once a blue name got a Love up and down


    And to the one that said just pvp for fun, not drops. That's not the point. If we are pvping and something happens to drop or we ourselves drop, half the time there is a swarm of blue names that are there for no reason other than to get a drop. Why shouldn't the people that actually got the kill, or the team of the dropper get the item on a timer, instead of someone who is just sitting there grabbing it?

    I had blue names pick up: +8 Warsong Belt, Love: Up and Down, and a 2nd recast +10 Lunar Helm.

    The idea of having to stop fighting and furiously spam the pickup key with the hopes of getting any of your own PK drops is absurd -even more so that its impossible to do when constantly being cc'd.

    I've seen blue names pick stuff up in a PvE server too. Kinda sucks when you were about to give it back...

    Anyway, the code is already in the game. The shatter drops do have a timer, right?

    Lol! I had to read this a few times before I began laughing. What you stated is just... Not right? People don't always PK because they want to gain items. Especially on a PK-enabled server, such as the OP's - Lost City. After level 30, the player is forced into PK-mode. If they are killed w/ out safety lock or GS's, the player can drop item(s) such as gear on them, or anything in their inventory. If another player comes that are blue name (would be under level 30 on a PvP server), that player can pick up the item if it has dropped.

    People don't always PK to get item(s) out of it. Some do it purely to bring up their PK count, and some do it for fun. Everyone has a reason to PK. Also, I would like to note that you are clearly posting on an alt. According to your avatar, you are level 3. Expect to be treated like a level 4 player w/ that avatar, when you enter a thread, say one sentence telling the OP not to do what every player has the right to do in the game, and leave.

    It's kinda lame that drops can go to non-combatants, but why do people risk very expensive gear in order to save a little bit on Guardian Scrolls? b:puzzled

    My main merchant alt is in PK mode, and if I should happen to lose a stack of 1.5 billion worth of Battle Pet Packs (or whatever else I happen to be merchanting at the time) because I was too cheap to keep my stockpile of Guardian Scrolls topped up, then I can't imagine anybody having the slightest bit of sympathy for me. Even I would laugh at me if that happened.

    maybe u should pvp in other places other than west gate. What happened to world pvp? If you only pvp at pvp hotspots that are a gankfest and cluttered with blue names you deserve to get item jacked by a pre-lvl 30.

    They are only your drops if you manage to pick them up. Till that point they are the drops of the person who died and hence fair game.

    That just made me die a little ;-; I personally hate drop stealers but doubt they will make it the killer's drop anytime soon if at all =/ I mean, how could you *** that part of the game up? lol it seems like common sense to me to already have the game coded where the killer gets the drop =/

    so let my get this straight...
    ur saying that becuase ur a lvl 100 sin who probably has endgame gear all bound. and ur made becuase you cant steal other people items?

    thats rich....
    QQ more b:bye

    nobody want to lose items.

    and IMO PK mode isnt even a real representation of a fight.

    You want to know who is better then challenge them to a duel.

    no charms, no ganking, mutually agreed 1v1 fight, and skills like bramble work.

    oh but thats right.. your 5 aps people dont like bramble i forgot...

    cuase fact is if i demon roar i got more hp.. so that 100% reflect is ganna kill you first.
    Killing level 80's with a lvl 60 is a lot more fun than killing level 90's with a level 100.

    The best way to change the system is to have anything you drop simply get deleted instantly. Blue names can't pick up what isn't there to get.

    Someone already said another way in this topic. Stop being morons and pk in some high level area where low levels won't be there to pick anything up.

    My avatar was mentioned. This character isn't level 3 shes in her 30s, its just a broken avatar. Check my core profile if you want I have her listed as one of my characters. I have nothing to hide.

    QQ moar

    Rules say if you drop any items in PK mode, then everyone fights for it. Not my fault for you noobs PKing and dieing like flies while I take your stuff from your corpses...

    Infact, let dropping items while red name no matter if you have on safety lock or bind items.
    I, II and III spark is the most cheesiest skill in PWI and it should be removed or massively nerfed.
