Would you play Darkfall if there was a no full loot PVP server?
I would be tempted to try Darkfall if they had a server wich makes you non lootable on pvp death. If then just inventory stuff by chance or so .
This is actually disturbing me the most about Darkfall , the fact that none of your belongings really belong to you.
And at least to me it doesnt make much sense about the Full loot i dont expect for anyone to understand this point of view its just a question .

Yes, yes I would, it's one of the few things about DFO I hate.

Nope, I wouldn't. DF simply has too many mechanics I'm not a fan of. As such, it doesn't matter to me if it's full loot or not.
Let's play Fallen Earth (blind, 300 episodes)
Let's play Guild Wars 2 (blind, 45 episodes)
No, because that's the ONLY thing DF does right.
DF no full loot server would end up just like PvP servers for games designed around PvE.
The only thing that restricts relentless ganking is perspective of losing something. Otherwise whole DF world would look like AOC White Sands on PvP server.
What would be the point of PVP then if you cant loot them?
The combat system is sort of a pain in the ass so playing the game and it not being full loot would sort of take all motivation out of it for me.

Never!
And anyone can grab your things in reallife as well......
The poll is setup incorrectly.
I vote No.
But that does not say anything alone.
It does not make a difference between:
1) I would lose an interest in the game
2) I have no interest in the game now and it would not make the game more attractive for me
Same answer, different meaning. Similar situation is with other options.
Scince when does looting whoever you gank really matter in a pvp experience? The fact of the matter is you got what you wanted at the time of your opponents defeat. Does being able to pick up that pixelized sword he have in his hands really make the difference in a solid pvp experience? If you said yes then you have never played counterstrike. You get the same amount of (glory/pride/renown) killing someone whether you can loot them or not. FFA loot is just a weak selling point to appeal to the PvPer with kleptomania imho.
I would not play if it wasn't full loot.
Yeah and in real life a vast majority of people who do those things go to jail to, you did know that right? so since we are compainrg DF to real life where are the police why don't gankers ever go to jail in DF?
but yeah, to call this game Fantastic is like calling Twilight the Godfather of vampire movies....

yea thats about my mindset on that matter, ie if everyone can loot anything from you you can loot anything from them only problem you prolly wont get your orginal gear back since, just the gear from somoeone else. So whats the Point ? i rather had my pick on gear then somone elses
. Sure there might be a problem about motivation with no full loot ..but somehow full loot cant be the only motivation or can it ? i mean there is nothing that ever will belong to you ..sooner or later you gonna lose it one way or another ..my idea would be they make you carry 1/10 of the gold you own on you ie you could just store 9/10 in a bank ..or whatever 
Personally I would would like to see Aventurine move away from the FFA aspect to a faction based game. Do I feel like Aventurine could do that? Not really, considering that has been a year after launch and the reputation system is still a useless mess.
Someone mentioned Trammel. Trammel didn't do anything but let those that didn't enjoy pvp a place to play. Felucca was left untouched for the people that wanted/needed a pvp environment. What killed Ultima Online was equipment itemization, Diablo style.
Edit: Sorry, I didn't answer the initial question. Personally I don't have a problem with full loot.
DarkFall FAQ - Read then Question with Boldness
I have no interest in playing a game whose chief attribute seems to be the ability to gank low level players.
EQ1, EQ2, SWG, SWTOR, GW, GW2 CoH, CoV, FFXI, WoW, CO, War,TSW and a slew of free trials and beta tests
What a stupid question.
More like would you play Darkfall if it was not Darkfall?
Retarded. Darkfall is not a normal MMO it is designed to be the way it is, it does not have different servers with different rule sets to it.
Retarded question.
LOL why?
It's not like the pve in darkfall is worth doing unless you have that fear of someone suddenly appearing and curb stomping you.
Playing: Rift, LotRO
Waiting on: GW2, BP
If you don't really want the FFA part, then there seem to be plenty of other games that don't have that rule set so; why try to mold DF into the game you want rather then look for the actual game you want?

I dont mind full loot, if Darkfall would have full loot or not is irrelevant to me; I wont play it either way.
Theres other features in the game that makes me indifferent about it.
There is warhammer online or aion for those who dont want full loot and real pvp. Leave darkfall alone. Dont try to turn this into an other UO trammel. Its like saying: Would you play darkfall if darkfall didnt exist

Seriously.
With such a slim selection of good full loot PVP games, can you guys not pick one of the others in the legion of games that are already not full loot PVP? Perhaps you wouldn't mind if we had just this one with it's fundamental design still intact?

even if it was just one server? its not like the OP was asking for every server to have this ruleset. too me i love the sandbox idea of DF and love open PVP but i don't want to lose all my stuff everytime i die.
i do not get the part about why you are so afraid you lose gear. its not like your losing you epic uberness of ....
loosing gear is fundamental mechanic, at the latest you loose it if the item decay breaks it more sooner then later even if you manage to keep it save from gettin looted from you. Its really is not a game to build collection of items, is more about using items tille they break and depend on crafter to provide you with other similar items for replacement.
