There is more top tier gear than ever before, so I think the base concept is just factually off here.

I can't confidently speak to the amount of gear available vs limits.

There is a lot of good gear that is very easy to get, and again more than ever before in CF's history.

So just on the fundamental basis being incorrect in my mind, I'm against this.

If folks are frustrated about losing gear, it's definitely about whether or not gear is available - it ALWAYS is given the current amount available. Maybe not that ONE piece you want, but there are a ton of comparable/alternate/potentially-better ones.

So in my mind the goal would be a shift in mindset, not mechanics. Fulling used to be the norm, it happens now less than ever before, folks loot each other less than ever before. So if you are STILL seeing complaints about looting, I think it has a LOT more to do with a player's sensitivity than it does to any actual problem existing.

And personally, I'm not a fan of diluting CF to appeal to sensitivities like that. I LOVE it when folks are less conservative, get into scuffles, fight it out, kick some hiney or get their hiney kicked! I tend to die a ton, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

But yeah, I don't think there is a problem with item limits.

I can totally understand the frustration of dying and being looted. It has happened to be countless times. But that's CarrionFields! Ain't no Hello Kitty Island :).
