I've resisted the urge to make unequipped players worth zero XP for a long time because I know what will happen.

At the moment, people unequip to be easy XP farms for friends. How many people post they are unequipped in the forums? I'd rather see them remain equipped as XP farms than to go naked.

I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't regardless of how things are set up. So let's just see how this works out. Maybe players will start taking off their armor so they can take more damage. Hopefully the players who are close to their level will make them regret it, and bust out with an attack that beats them with no armor on when they aren't expecting it.
