Talk:Player Killing/@comment-108.5.163.219-20120823100933

I have a question about player death. When a player dies do they leave their equipment behind? If not then why do players kill each other?

Spoiler Alert :

For example Vol. 2 Chapter 1 Part 3 - Where the bandit are across the bridge after Kirito had spotted them. One of the orange players yells: “Ye-Yeah! If he's a clearer then he should have a lot of items and money too right!? This is a really big chance!” As if once Kirito died they be able to divide up everything in his inventory including col.

But in the Same Vol. & Chapter Part 2 - When Kirito asked Silica if the feather had a name it gave this explanation  for her surprise: Now that she thought about it, it was strange that only the feather had remained. Be it monster or human, beings of this world usually left nothing behind after they died, not even their equipment. Silica hesitantly reached over with her hand and clicked on the surface of the feather with her right index finger. The half-transparent window that appeared showed its name and weight.

Please understand my confusion and I apologize for the long post.
