If over half the muds were mandatory full loot, I'd say you have a leg to stand on. If half adopted this policy, I'd say it is a wash. But if you can point to 2 or 3 muds that employ a full loot mentality and enjoy high numbers, then I would say there are other factors than the full-loot policy that Matrik advocates that are keeping those people there.

You lads are bright. Someone with enough time to troll these forums should run the numbers and vomit up the correlation coefficients.
