As an ironman I have to solo the wilderness bosses and any wilderness related content. Not only do I have to kill the bosses, I have to go with bad gear, and be prepared to die 100% of the time. The reason is pk'ers can hop endlessly throughout worlds with a 5 man and "peek" into every room to see if someone is doing the boss, and how many people are doing it. When they see 1 person, the group of pkers will all hop to that world and enter the caves (for free and at no risk) to kill the pvm'er in a few seconds. "Peek" was a good solution to boss rooms that are NOT in the wilderness. It's so easy for a group to pk at the new wilderness bosses it's insane. You also made the bow and mace stronger than they already were. I have been a member for years enjoying pvm content but this shit you guys are doing to buff the wilderness is annoying when I don't want to participate in the pk'ing portion. personally I can pk but i'll do it when I'm pking another pker, not someone who is pvm'ing. maybe revise the wilderness or other area to be an instanced pvp arena similar to tarkov or a battle royale (with teams). I know it isn't that simple but i dont think buffing the wilderness solves anything.

These kills are honestly not as hard as you imply. The elite diary allows you to kill the lesser, solo versions instead (Calver'ion, Artio and Spindel). If you're not capable of killing these bosses solo within a timely manner, then you're likely not at "Elite" tier that this diary is intended for. I don't know about you, but I am also an Ironman and I absolutely slaughtered these bosses in 1 attempt each, without having to risk anything significant. Now with added

I'd have to agree, the wilderness is a small portion of the game that is risky by design. In saying that, the OP is correct to point out its flaws which are also genuine - hence why wildy revival is a contentious discussion that will require years of trial and error.

In my honest opinion, making the wilderness "instanced" is totally out of line with the "oldschool" way of things. I personally don't support this idea.

This account, Maydaysos, is not an Iron man, but I have an Iron man, and I knew there would be certain difficulties when I made it. I am sorry about the challenges you face as an iron man in the wildy, but that is literally one of the things that comes with it, and it's one of the reasons why doing widly achievments in wildy as an iron man are that, achievements.

I forgot the youtuber, he's a popular runescape player who did something has a hard core iron man where if you die you become a regular ironman. He posted a video of him doing many dangerous activities in wildy without dying. If he could do it, so can you.

I don't remember if you are aware of the protest and disappointment that came when Jagex ended the wildy and implemented EoC a while ago, but I was one of the many who were unhappy. I believe this would do the same with the majority of players. Many players simply do not check forums.

I would be unhappy with the concept of the wildy being "instanced". That's not how the wildy is supposed to be, it is the wildy, where people can attack you, that's the entire point of the wilderness . If you have any friends or clan members, then I would suggest you ask them to come with you when you're doing certain wildy activities like fighting the bosses to get the upgraded mage arena capes.

I play oldschool runescape to play oldschool .

This concept of changing the wildy to fit the needs of ironmen is not in line with the oldschool philosophy in my honest opinion. I respectfully oppose this suggestion.
