For the past many years of the game pking and minigames have been neglected, even though it is a big part of RuneScapes history, and I do believe a lot of people enjoy it, this part of the content.

The wilderness rework has been in my opinion been a big failure.

Possible solutions?

Minigames

Firstly every achievement associated with any mini game should be removed to prevent people being afk and not playing as intended. For people already having the achievement a pet can be exchanged which will have a compared drop rate as, the time it takes to get the hardest achievement.

Player moderates should be able to kick anyone in a mini game, which are deliberately runing the game for anyone else’s and not playing as it is intended

Instances could be a good a idea where you can join a clan chat or someone hosting a game.

Bots? Having a instances where you are able to play with bots in a easy medium and hard setting

Pking

Threats should be removed for players that are skulled

Threats monster spawns should only be attacking the player that the monster is assigned to

Preventing 1 iteming, to prevent this a solution can be that the level weapon will only be as strong as the tier armor the player is wearing, this will prevent someone with a hellfire bow having a tier 99 weapon but not risking anything

No cosmetic should be allowed in the wilderness skulled or not

For the people that are not skulled, monster should not be dropping anything expect charms, this might incourge people being skulled, an additional 25% will be granted for players that are skulled and killing monsters in the wilderness

Pking hub in the middle of the wilderness, same place as last man standing in ors, where the “dangerous clan wars portal” can be placed and the wilderness mini game in the entrance to the wilderness.

Lastly I think a quest should be implemented to teach new players about the many minigames

Big Support

I agree with your many of your points that you have layed out.

I would futhremore suggest that a new minigame hub is created, that would be placed in burthrope, replacing the existing warriors guild, instead of having a games grottos that is hidden away in a cave in falador.

This will fuhtremore increase the intreast is safe pvp for new and existing players.

Comment on the player moderate from the post. Player moderates should also be able to join any safe minigame to "spectate" and futhremore still have the ability to kick any player that are not playing as intended.

Even though I agree with must if not all the points above, wilderness is not entirely dead.

I would encourage people to go w2 and watch fights outside edge, instead of “bank standing” to see what it is all about.

Furthermore maybe lootkeys like old school could be a toggle option in the wilderness

I agree to a degree;

I dislike the mobs that spawn on you(dragons are included on these spawns), I got slapped by the fireball then 2 dragons Plus idk....4+ demons spawned on me. ko-ed by fireball and dragon fire was just epic.

But...I am glad they 'killed off pking', years playing this game wildy was just a lure/skull tricking fest and all legit pkers struggled to make money. As jagex added cheaper gears with OP stats for the cost is when risking the worth while gear was done, thus the bankrupted pking become less and less profitable.

I know of many good pkers, some of them i funded them free whips etc from my slayer tab, many did refund me my whips after gaining more, but tbh they lost more than i gave lol. Between my slayer/runecrafting/PvM profits it didn't bother me. whatever makes a friend happier.

PKing is like sand casino, win some, win some more, lose it all, repeat until you quit the game.

All updates last few years just let pkers kill skillers, how boring and such a cheap shot method to attempt to revive pking....a true pker would want the other person to fight back, this is like using godemode cheats in games and removes the challenge.

----
Truth to why Pking died, "no one wants to lose their gear when better methods of money making are faster, why versus a player when you can versus a boss and gain the armour pieces you wanted to get from someone that was crazy enough to wear it to wildy...."

It's like my friends that always wanted to smite AGS/SGS/dragon claws from people, just go to god wars or tormented demons.

ALSO i only met one person that pked to make money that was rich like me back in the day, he told me he lured all his friends accept for me as i was too smart to take my high valued stuff past the wildy wall. reported and removed, he was never banned.

My wildy gear is Enchanted ancient staff, royal d hide, desert amulet 4, Sixth-Age circuit for a ring, barrows gloves/dominion gloves. I feel sorry for anyone who kills me lol.

Mods should not be allowed to kick from minigames, there's no preventing mods from getting paid and doing biased kicking. No one will pvm in wildy if you can't get drops without being skulled and there goes most of your pvp loot.
