FFA, full loot and noob ganking

Darter

If pvp oriented games are going to allow full loot and ffa, the least they should do is have a "destroy all inventory" hotkey.  Maybe that way noobs wouldn't be such lucrative targets for high level noob farmers.

you being ganked?? lol its okay i feel your pain happens to everyone really, cant see the attraction only time iv ever done it is just before quitting

 Then the high skilled characters can just delete their own inventory in a huge fight they are loosing, virtually denying the winners the spoils of war.

 

Nice try but no cookie

The whole slash and burn approach just wouldnt work. The best defense for noobs are numbers

FYI I don't play ffa pvp, haven't and won't.  Me ganked?  No.  I just use my brain and imagination to put myself in the noob's place.  Something that you other posters obviously haven't done, based on your predictable replies.

 Not sure I can even name too many games with FFA, full loot PVP these days, at least not in the realm of popular, modern, subscription-based MMOs.

That idea may work, but it would have to have consequences.  In order to destroy your inventory, you must kill yourself and it must be done with 50% or more life left.  That way people won't be just destroying their inventory right before they die.  It would then be a decision, do I want to stay and fight, flee, or kill myself so this guy can't get my stuff.  Of course, by destroying the items, you would loose them as well.

Not everyone cares about modern , or popular MMOs, and for the OP make friends in these games or join a guild, these games can be soloable but you have to use your head, if not then well FFA PVP MMOs arent for you then. Don't condemn them cause you didnt think ...

Then why do you believe yourself qualified to make pronouncements on how it should work?

There is only one FFA pvp game that has ever caught my attention and which was done beautifully and that is EVE Online.

Every other ffa pvp game I've played has been nothing but a mindless gankfest and thus not worth my time and effort.
