I dont really know what these changes are, but if it its antiganging its good.

About those eq and look gear people, how can you actually stop them?
I have an idea but I think it may be a little unfair to certain chars.

Lets say that evil only swords need to shed blood?! If they dont for a certain amount of time, they warn you...shake or something. If you still dont use it after that warning, the sword "returns to its home in hopes of a better future." Every time you kill someone alone the counter resets. If you kill someone in a gangbang lets say 2vs1 it only resets 50% of the counter. If you kill em 3 vs 1 then it only resets 33% of the counter etc. Anywho...

Maybe instead of the swords returning home, they can begin to slowly use their properties and avg damage if they arent used. The counter is still valid. Eventually they become 0 dam 0 hit and avg 15. But they still look pretty. If however said hoarder is pkd, the item stats reset?

Maybe the counter can only be stopped by imms if your role and actions justify non violence. Or maybe the other way around, if you imms see a guy doing that #### in his guild or wherever, or constantly ganking people down, slap an armor and weapon decay counter like the one above...or below on him/her as punishment?!

"You see your (insert weapon) begin to lose its (insert property) from complete uselessness."

Paladin swords lose their stats slowly if you keep ganking people with em? After you gank 10 people or 20 all your mighty paladin only uber armor become crappy? If you die to pk your armor counter resets.

What about armor that is never used it just rusts and crumbles eventually??

Yeah it pisses me off too when i see the same char with the same uber gear after 300 hours and always with a horde, in the inn or in his guild. Super stacked cabal sitting sissies need to lose that ####.
