I'm sick of seeing gambling in pvp worlds or wildy and the fcs that people set them up in. Something needs to be done as it's clearly a way debt streamers are using to bypass the duel arena removal.

Yes 100% agree the content needs to be brought back or pk world's should as well be shut down as either way you have opened up many new scams, and RWT is going to exist either way its almost worse that pk is left because it's more open to RWT then dueling was. The only really impact full thing done since I was away (5 years didn't play) was the trade and g.e requirements however those need to be extended into member world's and to member accounts because they have enough rs gold to buy bonds for any bot they make....... so let's get real about bringing back what's fair to the other side of pk which was regulated matchs no super timing and super computer needed Resurrection of the "Sand Casino" aka duel arena. Update that should be #1

I didn't use the Duel Arena, but I don't feel that I benefit from it's removal. Let people play how they wish.

Coming back after having quit years ago, I'm sad to learn that Duel Arena got removed. If their line of reasoning was that the minigame was a front for RMT, I don't see why Jagex couldn't have just removed the stake matches and left the "for fun" fights as they were.

Although I'll be honest, I don't mind the idea behind how the new arena works. With the old duel arena, you can be easily deceived by players wearing gear that appears to be on par with your own, but later they'll put on their absolute best PvP loadout when the fight begins. I've lost a number of (thankfully low value) items in the past, because players originally using Dswords in the lobby suddenly pulled out a whip or started blasting me with ancient magic. Looking at the wiki, it seems like the new arena is a terrific solution to evening the playing field by deterring potential deceit in gear and stats. Choose wisely, strike quickly, trust completely, and may you find the ending that you deserve!
