I would like to begin a formal proposal to change The OSRS Wilderness so that it mimics more of what occurred in RS3. I for one have no interest in PVP activities or PVP fights, however, I do require some of the content that the wilderness provides.

I know that some players and content creators enjoy this aspect of the game, but I feel that there are also a significant number of users who do not. This is why I am requesting The Wilderness be Opt-In similar to what was done in the RS3 client.

Even if this means that certain content in the Wilderness is changed or becomes no longer available, I believe that this will be a positive change for the overall community.

I would like to hear other players thoughts on this topic from both sides of the argument and will be happy to share more of my own thoughts upon request.

Thank You

The issue is it's already opt in. It was designed as a sandboxed area where PvP can only happen within its boundaries as denoted by the wilderness ditch.

In saying that I understand the part of your argument where perhaps non-pvp activities such as clue steps perhaps aren't appropriate for the wildy since both the predator and the prey don't get a fun experience out of it.

Hard disagree, RS3 slowly but surely had all risk taken out of it to the point where it's practically impossible to lose anything.

OSRS wildy is amazing, players are an ever present risk that is offset by some really great rewards, escaping pkers is fun and unless they are particularly good pkers, your risk is pretty minimal anyway.

When you enter the wilderness, assume that you will die and plan around that eventuality, turn on your skull protection, carry only 3 valuable items (4 if you are confident) and you'll do fine.

Old Orius said :
As much as I hate the Wilderness, PvP is the whole point. You want something from it, then take the risk. totally agree with this. I never go to the wild if I can avoid it, but when I do, and get pked, I accept that it is what the place was designed for.
