No to pvp armors, let's not go down that route. It's really too early to start raising the ante on end-game armors. It also will really suck to have the best armors in game last only an hour.

They are too obscure and just don't belong at this stage in the game.

I find that I am unable to vote in the OldSchool RS polls. After i sign into RS I get a message stating: "Only members with at least 280 total level in Old School RuneScape can vote", and then directed me to this forum. But I actually have a total skill level of over 1340. Not really angry over this but.. Just posting in case someone doesn't know this is an issue. Thanks guys.

Why does RuneScape have non combat skills like mining and smithing? They are never updated. Every time a new melee item is added to the game it is an opportunity to update mining and smithing, but all Jagex ever does is add new items as monster drops, never to the skills meant for making armour and weapons, and never to shops where there could be new money sinks.

How about if the Dragon Platebody is added, the parts are added through mining, thieving, fishing caskets, woodcutting found in hollow trees, to impling loot, to an agility course, and to shops, and then the Dragon Platebody is smithed by players? Hi.

honestly; why the hell is evernyone complaining about the PvP Armours.

1. they're not gonna make bandos and arma crash
2. they're for pking ONLY
3. they last 1 FREAKING HOUR
4. the wildy is dead enough as is now, there needs to be something to bring people in!

Your number 4 is rather entertaining.

The rejuvenation was supposed to bring people into the wilderness (to be pk fodder). The fact that a buff on that rejuvenation is being discussed so soon after the update says the rejuvenation failed.

Instead of looking at even more benefit for the pkers (the armour, for example) perhaps it's time to look at something that would be worth it (from a skiller perspective) to those who don't have interest in pking?

IMO, anything that holds the potential to get mass amounts of skillers willing to become the easy kill that pkers seem to want, has the potential to completely ruin old school.

Maybe it's simply time to accept that there aren't that many people playing old school, with an interest in pking and the wilderness (and move on to updating other parts of the game)?

Xp gained from high alchemy at the Fountain of Rune should scale with the High alch value of the item. The higher the alch value the more xp you gain. This will give people incentive to use the fountain of rune and also give pkers incentive to pk at the fountain of rune. Higher risk = greater reward.

Or they should make you get double coins regardless of what item.

So if yew long bow high alchs for 768 gp, you'd get 1536 coins.

Support!

This would ruin the game. Not too long ago I smithed about 12-14k rune platelegs. If you could get double coins then that would of brought an extra 400M+ cash into the game in just about 15 hours.

excuse me? lmfao. sorry, for the laugh but i guess thats expected of new players who think the game was never about pking; always skilling or PvM. Runescape was Entirely built around pking. Look around and try to think why mostly every skill and every quest helped pkers greatly.

1. slayer - rune, mystic, weapons
2. cooking, herblore, fishing, mining, fletching, agility, smithing - all introduced and gave pkers the advantages they needed to be able to fight (of course, each skill played a role)
3. do you think with such little PvM in the actual 07 that pvm was as big it is today?
4. who do you think skillers sold everything too make their money.

next time, think carefully about what you say - you dont know the past.

votes are down BECAUSE ANYONE WITH KDR IN THE WILDY MESSED THINGS UP.

somehow jagex's coding didn't match what they did with KDR with their website for polls. SO THE PKERS CANNOT VOTE ON THEIR OWN POLL - ISN'T THAT FUNNY?! so now skillers and PvMers vote on behalf of the pk community L0L!
should be the opposite where people without k/d cant vote cause they probably dont care about the wildy anyways

ROFLMFAO

''next time'' you might want to learn some history yourself.. the hat on my avatar's head says I know at least a 'bit' about the past..

And my Alog says I'm not a new player (my total level is a tad bit higher than yours and going off of date stamps is simply stupid any more).

I know you want it to be all about pvp but in all honesty, if it were all about pvp you wouldn't have needed a wildy rejuvenation in the first place (not to mention a rejuvenation of the rejuvenation a week later!).

Pvp was so successful in 2007 because there was a significantly larger player base. You don't have that player count now and you never will have again.

Time to get over that.

edit to add:

I'm referring to total levels shown in the Alog. I haven't checked OS hiscores (as I haven't played it in like 6 months or more). "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.
