The biggest surprise is Jagex is relying on dishonest behaviour of some of the players.
Jagex encourage them to kill penguinhunters, 1-3 itemers for the forinthrycave, killing rc-ers to make them loose their pouches and last but not least: killing beacon lighters.
Jagex tries to soothen the beaconlighters with a bit of xp.
Dishonest pk-ers see unarmourmed people as vermin, lowest of the foodchain.These preyers rely on the same skillers to provide them runes, armour and food to continue their vulture attitude.
Revenants were dangerous in the wild for the past 3 years and acceptable for Jagex.They killed without pleasure and attacked all. This cant be said of some of the so called pk-ers.
Some people of communities, built over the past years, are concerned by the changes.They do not want to pay hard earned real life cash to be annoyed, seen as vermin, or fight with bots for a single log.These people observe for a while, express their concerns and if not listened too, move on to places where the community spirit florish.
Runescape will end up with a barbarian population feeded by bots until the brats are bored by the game and move on.
The mature community have encouraged people to play rs. This was free advertising. It also provided long term memberships. On average the mature population is loyal because of the friends they make. They make a difference, simply by influencing other people on rs and in real life.
For me this means, I got a few days left. I observe. I do not tell anymore rs is an awesome game. I sell my runes, fish and logs to friends for a decent price. I sell the same items for a ridiculous high price in the G.E. In my thread, Quick find code: 15-16-991-62334409, I asked Jagex for a few non-pk worlds with revenants (and lousy drops), like there used to be a few pvp worlds. I asked Jagex to honour their mission statement: we understand the importance of supporting our global gaming community and providing a safe and enjoyable gaming experience.
