Risk vs Reward. If you choose to fly in that super expensive ship, you're taking the risk of losing it for a greater reward. That is how full loot game works. Items are not as valuable in them as they are in games like WoW where you need to grind for dozens and dozens of hours to get each piece of armor and that epic weapon for your character just to be a viable fighter.
My article at curse-gaming.com for a more indepth analysis of full loot, as well as twitch based combat.

PVP Safe zones are wrong, and are only present in games where gear is important like epicz in WoW.
For a better idea on how items/pvp combat should be in an ideal PVP game, check out this article I wrote for my new weekly column at Curse-Gaming.

Blizzard needs to do 2 things: 1) a "mark as spam" button which automatically logs a complaint and the evidence, and ignores the user for chat, tell, and mail; 2) as another poster put it, if I /ignore a player, I want the option to ignore the WHOLE account, no matter how many alts the guy uses--chat, tell, mail, duel spam, plain talking, yells, and emotes.

See the third-party addon SuperInspect. While at the time of inspecting a player you must be within a 5 yard radius, it won't close if the player moves away. It also supports caching of the most recently inspected players as well as summarizes bonuses and statistics gained from items and weapons.

You may have to enable out of date mods to get it to work ... its pretty old. Hopefully its simple enough that it still works even after all this time.

I've been using a great mod called Infinite Ignore. The name of it is self explanatory and helps out a lot.

What I would really want is a mod that auto-ignores anyone level 1. Would be great to cut down on farmer spam.

If only to get parent modded up, yaknow, 'cause parent, you really should be, but I suppose many people might just go "bah, no link? That's no use" and just walk away, but a quick google search confirms that this little script rather directly takes on the problem CmdrTaco was noting with people not knowing who one is . . . so, here's the script for prefixing comments in WoW so people know what character you're an alt of; technically not the situation here, but obviously the solution would work exactly the same.

In other words, mod parent up. I mean, he may be wrong about Curse Gaming being down, but anyone reading parent and feeling like getting the mod will find it pretty much immediately through all-knowing (oh, if only that were true, one wouldn't even have to type the search parameters!) google, so again I reiterate, mod parent up!

My quickly hacked together, useless, buggy Eliza addon for World of Warcraft:

The bar is titan panel which has a bunch of fun plugins you can get and stuff. And some that come with it.

The UI addon in question is called Titan Panel

BTW, All are approved by Blizzard, or they are removed. As in the leet speak ones where removed awhile ago.

Also, Cosmo's which is legit also, has had pieces of removed by request of blizzard.

And how do you HACK looking for the better price? You must work for Best Buy!
