keeping this short and simple as I cba for lengthy explanations for pointless tl;dr stuff.

jagex stated minimum risk for the future ep is curretly set at 50k, this is pointless, 50k can be risked with low risk items like a glory, 2 sara brews, 2 super restores and food in your inventory.

the risk should be a minimum of 1M so it torrents players from farming ep within an "organised" clan who set each other as targets, yes this happened in the past ive witnessed it, i did it, i had a group of 4-5 people we did it with, or did any1 forget runescape pre-eoc camping ardy prayer alter in pvp worlds to gain ep and do the 76k trick, camping mage arena in 50 wildy bh worlds 4 iteming unskulled with an invent of food, without pray item you risked 100k, with pray item you risked 20k (the food you carried).

ALSO, they should consider the fact, even though the risk is 1m, this can be negated with unskulled players doing the "4 item trick"... meaning when they don't pray item, they risk 1m, but when they pray item they risk 40k... so the 1m risk, should be then made to be from a 5th item, meaning even if unskulled and not protecting item, the first item after your 3 item protection, even if it exceeds 1m, it will not count towards the 1m ep gain... again, stopping unskulled EP farmers risking the bear minimum and making the skulled players getting frustrated..

i am saying this because if EP is released with the proposal of getting extra items from EP, there will eventually be a new style of 76k tricking, just to gain the EP rewards, making it so people never actually risk anything and gain all the potential cash influx.

making the minimum risk to be 1m means playing trying to "camp" EP while remaining unskulled and making people skip them as a target, makes this IMPOSSIBLE as they aren't risking enough to gain the EP, for extra rewards when they do the new "76k trick" that could or would exist in bh.

post your opinions please, but again, remember this is MY opinion on it.

and opinions are only opinions, they are not fact, they are not meant to be rude of offensive.

so please restrain yourselves from being that way as i dont want this post locked, i want it to be an open discussion and hopefully for J mods to see MY opinion and to have it taken into consideration, as it is actually a good viewpoint making valid reasons and could be implimented.

also, without OUR opinions as a community, how does jagex do anything, they aren't mind readers, if you stay quiet about your opinions and jagex then release a game update, dont be angry at the results when you never voted or spoke out with your opinions...

as i said, this is my opinion and all im asking is it to be looked at and thought about.

if you disagree, please post your opinions, they are welcome, good or bad in comparison to mine, opinions are opinions and WE as a community need them.

appreciated, but think of the concept, if jagex are planning to introduce even more wealth into the game using the old earned potential system, it should only be fair that to reap the rewards, you also brave the risk.

as the age old saying goes, no risk no reward...

this is in theory instilled into the game when you thinking about it, take bandos godwars for example, yes you can kill it in "welfare" type gear in a team of 3 quite well... but get that same team of 3, all in max gear... they will kill it quicker, meaning more gp per hour in the long run, if every drop was done on drop rate and not luck/rng taking part which we know can happen.

but in this pointer, the team of 3 in max gear, yes they don't fully lose their items on death, but their gravestone fee's if they die are also more expensive. therefore giving the sense of "no risk no reward" an introduction.
