80% gold from kill in pvp

Alucardo

Losing Tel Var stones is one thing, losing something important is even worse. You actually need gold to thrive in this game, so having a way to lose 80% of it just because you got zerged is absolutely pathetic

worst.idea.ever

Acrolas

For some real fun, they should just broadcast kills on the same channel as the scroll/emperor updates.

"NutterButter333 just GANKED the *** out of JellyMan09."
"BoobButlerSr just learned that gravity is a cruel ***."
"VR16 GOBUCKEYES99 got pwned by level 10 AUBURNBLOODMOON. You even lift bro?"
"LJ904x000x just beat CaptainKangaroo99 and tattooed L2P NOOB onto his forehead."

If you dont loose something you care about then all the losing and winning is useless.

Gret idea.

SneaK

Terrible idea.

Would promote zergs even more.

I'm guessing the OP is the kind of player that hangs out in Cyrodil or IC hiding in some dark corner just waiting for other players to wander by so he/she can gank them and take all their stuff.

On the plus side, at least then I know where they're at generally and what their tag is so I can hunt them down and decimate them and take all their stuff.

I guess I would support it if I also got everything in their bank as well.

Considering I carry 700k gold around me at all times and don't want the hassle of having to go to a bank each and every time I want to PVP, no.

Bad suggestion. No, just no. This is not Runescape.

You lose gold to mob kills? Maybe I should stop carrying 5 million around?

You would have made a great military guy back in the days when decimating entire cultures and taking slaves was what defined you as winning and losing meant that your entire society ceased to exist.

Okay... now I hope they do implement it! So... what's your in game tag and platform.

Bhakura

Just implement looting corpse, anything in inventory or equiped can be looted RNG picks one item from the list the killer can loot.

if you want goodies in PVP, thats how you do it.

Aaaah good old days in Duris (mud)

As ill considered ideas go this is an A+.

Carebears must be punished. If you are afraid to loose gold - then go.[/quote]

Lots of people are going to be punished. Not just us carebears. Ping/latency is a big factor in Cyrodiil, this alone could cause players to lose gold, regardless of their skill level.

Slurg

I doubt that ZOS would want to annoy 95% of players who go to Cyrodiil by making them take the extra step of banking their gold before they go in to please the tiny minority that think stealing others' gold is fun. What is there to steal if everyone banks their gold before they enter anyway? Are you planning to follow around the people who turn in PVE quests to gank the tiny amount they get?

Nebthet78

If PVPers want gold, they can wait until Orsinium releases and use their AP to buy the new motif coming out and then sell that in Guild stores or zone chat for gold.

Paazhahdrimaak

If we can deposit them in the bank

RDMyers65b14_ESO

This has been suggested before and the answer is no.

It is not going to happen.

Kammakazi

Found the broke guy!

Sir_Xalvador

seems to me someone does not want to quest to make gold or sell items to get gold its bad enough we loose TV stones but now you want us to loose gold as well how is it going to make pvp more profitable? sounds like you want a player to have a get rich quick deal.... i disagree with this if it does happen i am sure people will just bank the gold tehy do have before going into pvp...

Vrienda

NO.

Yinmaigao

I am not sure if the OP is trolling, or if they legitimately want this to go live.

Either way, it would be a poor feature catering to a very small portion of the game's population.

Rather than focusing on features that drive players to hate one another and take advantage of each other, let's kill some demons, mkay?

No PvP player cares for demons. Let them alone. We want to kill players, players, players. Many of us want also to kill players of our own faction so we want more fatures that make killings more funny and profitable.

Is there seriously two simultanous threads perpetuating this stupid idea?

The other one is a poll, and so far 90% of the people who have responded have not only said no, but HELL no

it was a joke ok I didn't think anyone would get so butt hurt about it

Koloki

Ah yes the good old days of UO where you would waste hours fighting trough a dungeon only to get ganked on the way out and loose all your items.
There is a reason games don't do that **** anymore, it opens a big can of worms.
The grind is real enough without you loosing your gold to other players, also i can already see the potential for harassment, gold selling and all kinds of exploiting.
No, thank you

Sure this would be a great idea if the pve carebears can use the justice system to rob your bank. Or to put it another way, this is really, really bad idea. Not only would it not work (people would just bank cash before PvP), it would actively hurt noobs (who would essentially be the only people who might carry some cash).

Is the noobs problem.

Nice mentality...

Gold looting on corpses is a very bad idea that's never going to happen so let's not waste time discussing it.
