@SmithyJones if gear doesn't drop on death you kill the idea of a player just being a crafter and playing the merchant game. you also kill the idea of someone playing a complete outlaw and surviving off what he takes from others. you only see your play style and unfortunately for you this is not a theme park mmorpg where everyone plays the same way and rides the same rides. stock up on money so you can do what you want when you want. if you kill the loss of items you kill the market place in a game where players make the gear. your best bet if you are not willing to adapt is to stay in the safer worlds or move in groups making friends. lastly if that doesn't work there is only every other mmorpg wow clone on the market for you to feel safe in.
