The new death penalty sounds discouraging for PvP. It's bad enough to get ganked with no penalty, but now it's also going to waste time and money. I find item decay in general to be a pointless time and money sink. If it's supposed to stop "bind rushing" (I played EQ PvP but not for long enough to have ever experienced that), I think there must be a better solution, or at least they could tone down the penalty for PvP. There should be a penalty for PvE deaths, but PvP right now is one of the things making me lean toward playing WoW over EQ2, and if it's a pain in the ass I won't bother.
UPDATE: They are taking the durability penalty OFF PvP in the next patch!
But I'd still rather have a straight up mandatory XP penalty than durability in PvE...at least then dying would only cost time.
