This is an extremely well thought out idea. Kudos to you. Personally, I'm not into PvP. But I recognize that PvP is eternally in a dire state. And as a non-PvP player, I am among those who find the Wilderness a frustrating place. Having things in there that I feel like I'm obligated to do, only to get grief-killed by PKers for no reward on their part...

I've made my peace with it. I don't mind limiting myself by simply not taking part in anything in the Wilderness. But I think all sides win with your suggestion.

I concur that nothing can really fix toxic communities. It's a shame, really. Players are usually the source of most problems in the MMO scene these days. Not just toxic communities, but also lack of originality. Developers are so afraid of doing anything new because players are so incredibly aghast at the idea of anything changing. It's enough to put anyone who doesn't belong to the "mainstream" group of gamers off of MMOs entirely. Though thankfully, Jagex is one of the few developers that can still see the value outside the mainstream. Or maybe it's just Runescape's age and huge amount of content. Anyways, I digress.

I'm all for making PvP in RuneScape a true PvP experience, for PvPers to enjoy and be able to progress while doing it.

Thank you Sylvanheart for your thoughtful and in depth response.
I agree with everything you've said and particularly like your "all sides win" statement. :)

If there's a better, more enjoyable, more rewarding place for PVP to exist, the current wild should lessen in toxicity. Big win for skillers and non-pkers. Big win for PVP.

Thank you for your support, especially coming from a non-pker. The New Wild (instanced) <---------> Enhancing Combat and PVP

Wildy instanced to gather all worlds into one when inside.
Believe you me, there are not people in the wildy so if you want to tell me about griefing or any areas becoming too packed, well, no, but hopefully yes so we can actually fight again.
Imo all of wild should be legacy so people are forced to fight back or defend themselves because double surge / instant evade / freaking constantly out of range is bulls**.

I don't even care I'm just saying if wild is to be changed it should return to what it should be.
And remove the damn offhand weapons for the love of god........

There are people in the wilderness. Just because you failed to find any doesn't mean no-one's there.
No - to restricting all pking to legacy mode.
If your opponent is using abilities to escape, don't forget that you have access to those same said abilities in order to catch up with them. Learn to use them.

No, it shouldn't return to how it was, that wouldn't work.
No, there's nothing wrong with offhand weapons.

My suggestion to you is to play OSRS. It seems to me that that's exactly what you're asking for. The New Wild (instanced) <---------> Enhancing Combat and PVP

I do believe there should be an instance of wild where its strictly PvE. Not everyone is a PvP player nor are they built or have the motivation to do so. This would open up "Wild Raids" or of the sort to parties, clans etc.. I've never been opposed to PvP games or game modes, but some things just need a go-between. The wilderness being one of them. It needs a PvE only instance. We have full on PvP servers, so why would this be any different? If you want to PK, go to a PVP server where its open PvP throughout the world+wilderness.
