You know what's hilarious? How totally ass-backwards this "waaah we need good items for PVP to be worthwhile" argument is. If you're playing PVP in order to get gear or resources, then you're playing crappy PVP or playing it for the wrong reasons. You're just grinding, except instead of grinding on foxes and goblins, you're grinding on players. That's why Albion is such shit. The gameplay is not enjoyable in and of itself (PVP or otherwise) and the only motivation to keep playing it is a Skinner box-like ego trip. You play a game because it's fun. If PVP is fun, who gives a shit what items you get from it.
