Agent B MiB,
Unfortunately for your arguments about removing rc (really, the entrance to the abyss) from the wildy, Jagex *intentionally* put it there during the days of the old wildy because the speed of abyss rcing was *supposed* to be offset by the danger of being pked. That was the trade-off, and Jagex was quite explicit about it at the time.
To now say that the entrance to the abyss should be removed from the wildy is to go against the very reason Jagex put it there in the first place.
Listen up, everyone: I'm not a pker. I have no interest in pking. RC was my second 99. I love rcing (in the old way). And I think that the entrance to the abyss should stay in the wildy just where it always was. It balances the risks with the rewards.
RC pkers get huge gains?
I don't think so. At most they get a glory, a pile of * *** worth a piddling amount that won't fit into their invy anyway, and maybe if they're lucky some black dhide. Not exactly fat city! RC pking is near the bottom of the barrel for pking rewards.
Conversely, abyss rcers really don't lose that much when they die. The biggest nuisance is losing your pouches. But if you're smart about it and pre-plan, you can often retrieve them after dying to a pker. And now you can actually buy the two largest pouches at GOP anyway.
And no risk for the pkers?
Not if the ess runners have anything like the gumption that the ones I used to hire at the nat altar did. We’d hear reports of a pker, hear the pker's level reported, and quite often one of the runners would say, "Okay, I'm getting rid of that pker." Next thing you know, the pker was dead and the runner was gloating about the loot and we were all having a good laugh--that is, if the pker didn't log.
And then we went on with our rcing.
