I'm not being funny but this feels like this suggestion was created out of fear of your inventories value going down, I could be wrong but that's just how it comes off to me personally.
My opinion would be, if that wasn't the case, that surely as a self proclaimed "pvp player" you would personally want to see more of it encouraged, by way of allowing the slightly "poorer" players to get involved without needing to worry too much?
I've spectated some of the richer players, such as yourself or Nerve to give a couple of examples and your play style is so unbothered now by how rich you are, that often you guys will not even bother unequipping suits, based on the fact you have tens of each of them and it's just not a problem for yourselves because to you it was literally worth nothing.
Most players however are not in a similar situation and have to worry about losing that same item and as a result are less inclined to want to PVP, because in a fight against a person like that they are always going to lose on the basis they're going to
have to unequip, don't get me wrong, that's always been the point of the items and how it's always been, but it definitely feels like it's gotten to a point that it feels a bit ridiculous...
Hope that made sense? Let me know if I can clarify anything
