@Agent B MiB
Pkers don't force feed from skillers. Pkers love to pk against pkers. If a skiller just happens to be there around the wrong crowd, then can expect to be attacked.
exactly how is being in a bunch of no pkers "in the wrong crowd"? abyss pkers stand in one spot and pk anyopne that is unarmoed and unarmored.
where do you thin the majoriy of money used in pking comes from.
when its pker v pker:
10 percent of the pkers are good pkers and can make a lot of money off pking others.
30 percent get more than they lose, but just a little more than break even.
20 percent break even or a bit of a loss.
30 percent lose money most of the time.
10 percent always lose.
there fore, 60 percent have to find another way to make money so they can pk. most of them wouldnt dream of "wasting" their time skilling, so they go after skillers or buy their gps. thats why there was so many complaints from pkers about how hard it was to make money, and why many of them bought gps.
the ones that didnt buy it, killed abyss runners, and dragon killers, and an occasional treasure hunter for their money.
...Maturity comes with experience, not age. There are many teens that are more mature than adults that play. There are adults who are more likely to disregard the rules as they feel that buying in game items would be easier and faster than spending hours gathering them themselves.
Most teens have more times on thier hands and less responsibilities. Teens are less likely to have credit cards to hop onto these RWT sites to buy these items being sold...
experience comes from age more often than not. yes, a small percentage of teens are more mature than a small percentage of adults. that doesnt mean that as a rule teens are more likely to do pking and adults more likely to skill.
kids often get xmas gifts and use it to buy money and items from the rwters. they also talk their parents who dont know the rules, to do it for them.
frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.

there was a news article on the web that said it best. a teen got 300 dollars for xmas and used it to buy items online for the game. problem is, those criminals put a virus on his computer and hacked his account.
he turned around and demanded jagex give him the items he bought against the rules. the news story made jagex look like a bad company because they refused to return items a 13 yo kid lost in their game. they ignore it was against the rules for him to do it, and they ignore the fact that he lost them as a result of his own action.

...there levels are the biggest problem we have that contribute to RWTing. ...
completely wrong. the biggest problem was people buying items to replace ones lost in pking. skillers had ways to make money skilling, and getting exps in one skill gained you exps in another often as not. pkers had no other way to gain money.
skilling is about gaining levels, which is done for the achievement. if you guy them, there isnt any achievement. pking though, is done strickly for the joy of the kill and if you lose your items, you cant kill any more. with no other way to get items, they turned to rwters.

People who complain about the wilderness - you probably don't pk in the first place, stay of of it.
When doing clue scrolls go to empty worlds.
People who are complaining about free trade because of scammers - there's a confirmation screen use it.
People who are complaining post multiple times, and claim that there are more people against it when the vote is clear. If you think its unfair, ask jagex to make another poll.
People who are happy about jagex considering the change like myself just THANK whatever you believe in.

Roughly 1,123,538 people say yes. This really should happen! This was when Runescape was it's greatest and the vast majority of us all agree. This is hugely a majority against a minority as far as a debates goes.

thats what we are asking for, worlds that we dont have to enter the pk wilderness.
...When doing clue scrolls go to empty worlds. ..
there is no such animal.
...If you think its unfair, ask jagex to make another poll...
already done so. problem is, they already knew the answer and didnt want to set it up in such a way that it would get the truth.
...People who are happy about jagex considering the change like myself just THANK whatever you believe in. ...
the people that are unhappy, want a compromise so everyone can be happy. LISTEN before you decide what others are against it for.

1,234,658?
Why didn't they just cut it off 91 votes sooner? It would have made a much funnier punchline to the joke.
joke would have been too obvious.

...Wildy was Dangerous and should be, stop whining....
then why id the abyss evenin it. there isnt any reward that justifies the risk. just taking it out and stop being a spoiled little brat.

Well actually my thoughts about this are the free trade should stay, I actually have quite a few gold that I would like to transfer to my main account :D . The Wilderness would be good too although unsuspecting players could lose all of their stuff. So as AgentM1B said, we should have a few worlds with no pking Wilderness.
