this is too easily abused
. If this is implemented, it should appear instantly only to the player who has done you most damage recently (similar to how kills are awarded). This will prevent abuse, and ensure that the player who most deserves the dropped item has the first chance at it before it appears to other players at the usual delay.


Loot Bag: It can only be emptied in a bank, which is good. I assume it'll also prevent items inside it from being used? Don't want it to be used as extra inventory spaces.


^ This.

Should the prayer points icon near the minimap allow you to select some 'quick prayers' and toggle them on and off when you click it?

rip runescape. worst update since pid update. I know you all love this for your bosses, but this literally turns multi wilderness into a cancer fest by severing lowering the skill gap(not that all of you care, just the 1000 of us that actually multi pk'd every weekend for the last year+).

Hmmm never had a problem with this in multi pking...Had more of an issue in single with rushers...Only quick select prayers i had toggled always where pro item and my stat boosters/smite. Made it 1 click and could rush in with my team faster.

idk, only problem with the clickable prayer icon IMO is that it makes it waaaay too easy for people to put prot prayers & protect item on very quickly. It's gonna help out a lot of people who suck at tanking or who would be vulnerable to getting smited :c

not the end of the world, though. Happy enough that most things I want are passing

In multi battles you usually idle with protect from range or mage. Then you might switch to melee if a bunch of people start piling you. This took a bit of skill because you had to switch tabs, put on your prayer, then switch back, and eat. Now people who are caught off guard can simply panic hit their quick prayers.

Also what the above person said. smiting people out in single will be almost impossible now. It was already hard enough to do already, this update renders smite useless in single combat. It will only be good vs absolute "noobs"
Also the less experienced pkers will now simply quick pray if they get red-barred in edgeville-type pking. Before you could at least inv check for tabs if you hated that type of thing, but even with tabs, you couldn't tab instantly away if you were concentrated on specing. Now people can put up quick prayers while on their spec screens. I can see it now, people put on overheads as they go for the rambo ags spec when they're ~30 hp so they can't be killed while on the spec screen.

I agree that instead of removing 10 worlds you could make those free-to-play instead.

Good question here. If you're able to support these 10 additional worlds, why would it hurt to release a F2P version of the game on them as it used to exist? Does opening a few worlds for F2P come with some additional costs?

For f2p, it would require more on Jagex's part. There would be tons of bots, and probably thousands of accounts made. If those accounts got hacked, stolen, or broke rules, it would require more staff to handle the flow. Sure they could release f2p today if they wanted.

Indeed. And yet, they chose not to let ditch removal pass. Pathetic.
Long live the Wilderness. Long live risk vs reward in PVM. Long live 2006.
