I disagree with how you describe our IC dispute, but who cares?

What ruins the game is when people full sac. Do you remember 15 years ago when you could log in and have a "who PK" list as long as the "who" list you get now?

Lots of people quit playing because it gets to be annoying to re-gear all the time.

If you are a good player, you can be merciless IC without being a jerk OOC. If your naked or needing, loot away. When you take much more than you need, you'll drive people away. Full looting is not IC without mercy, it's just being a jerk and it will drive the playerbase down.
