For me the biggest issue is you have no warning that you are skulled while you are in safe zones. For returning players, and there are many of us, this is a Jagex created lure. We returning players assume we are not skulled because we are walking around Varrock without a skull for hours (only we are skulled and cannot see that we are skulled). Why worry about warnings when we are not skulled (again we are skulled and do not see it because we were not aware Jagex changed the mechanics).
Seems the easy solution is return to the old mechanic where you are skulled or not skulled and if you are skulled you can see it above your head no matter what you are doing or where you are. Hello?
I read the PK kill/death sign at Edgeville and I see people dying daily with billions in gear on. This has enticed and rewarded PKers who abuse this awful mechanic. They sit at the Edgeville lodestone eacn hour for the flash events just waiting for that one guy who is a returning player and was told the wildy is now safe, wear anything you want. Oops except you're skulled and you no longer see the skull until it's too late. Sorry, you just lost everything you grinder an entire year for. Ooops.
I am okay with cursed energy skulling you. We need some excitement in games. I am not okay with being stealth skulled and playing the game for hours not knowing you are skulled until it's too late when you pop out of the wildy lodestone.
