Hey TOR Staff and I hope you are well,

Here I am about to make a suggestion for something that I know has been suggested in the past and even implemented in the past. I truly want the requirement for Map Location to be on to be reduced from 3 major LIs to 1 major LI.

Let's dive into some of my reasons.

First of all, PVP on TOR has been somewhat of an interesting subject lately. The implementation of seasons was a spectacular idea imo, and had certainly provided an incentive for some of those more timid players to go out and start PVPing. This led to a few transfers of LIs. However, before I go further, I believe explaining the general player outlook on LIs would be helpful. Players (myself included) view LIs as fun and useful items that bestow you good effects! What's not to love about them? With this, players have a desire to obtain LIs as well as keep them. Now, the main issue with the LIs is with the transfer of them. I have noticed many people who have held LIs for a while now, simply because no one can find them/attempt to kill them for the LI. Sure, you may say use conquest/achievements. However, conquest is turned off my most players and older players with valuable LIs/items will have most region achievements. This most certainly includes myself, and I have held the Phial of Galadriel for the past month-ish. Would you guess the amount of times someone has attempted to kill me/hunt me for it? The answer is zero. This doesn't stem from a lack of desire to get the LI or that they aren't well equipped/good enough (everyone knows I'm not amazing at pvp). This stems from they can't find me because my map location isn't on. Let me pull up a personal example of map location being on helping transfer LIs between the player base, allowing others to experience the joy of them. I was killed a few months ago because my map location was on (I had 3 LIs) and the player involved took my LIs. Originally, I was angry because I had lost them. But then I realized something. This player that killed me could now enjoy my LIs for themself. That's a great thing in my opinion, lore items frequently rotating around the player base. Without this addition/being readded, many players just have 1/2 LIs and never lose them. Sure, you could lie and get a TP to them to "give them something/help them with something" but not being honest isn't very fun. I did this once to a um... certain helper for a LI and felt like a crappy person after. Please consider this being an addition. I appreciate whomever reads this!
