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.
