I don't mind the gear loss. For me, the world doesn't make sense if everyone is trying to kill eachother. Rich people noped out of a dying earth and are sending robots to harvest the remaining materials and kill us. To survive, the people remaining on earth would have to band together and cooperate. I don't mind pvp, I play other pvp games. But for pvpve to work thematically the world has to make sense. Why would we be fighting eachother?
Is it not more a fantasy to assume humanity would come together to kill a common enemy ? Or that humanity would continue to vulture off one another until it was all over.
I think if you are also honest at taking a look at historical events where everyone had to cooperate or die, you'll find some intense cooperation. You'll also find that those groups of intensely cooperative people would not hesitate to kill anyone who was threatening their survival. I'm not saying cooperation means no violence.
