Hi,

I am not a PK'er of any type and only go into the Wildy when a quest or event requires it. I know I'm not the only one like that.

And I really have no desire to get killed while hauling a quest item that is very hard to replace in order to finish the quest.

Is it possible to blatantly mark questers so as to not invite attacks while questing. If so than make BH part of the entire Wildy. I do agree the crater was an eyesore.

I just don't care to get involved in PK'ing. For some of us players, its difficult enough to avoid getting slaughtered by the "Monsters" in the Wildy without having anymore players attacking.

And the idea of set BH worlds works for me. But keeping on high risk PvP world would likely be the current best idea. After all, you can always change the BH or PvP worlds back and forth as needed.

Just don't force us non-PK'ers to get involved as that's probably one way to get a majority of dedicated gamers to quit.

There's no quests in the wilderness........ Everything stated here is forwarded from a major corporation. Nothing here is my opinion. Enjoy your salad.

Howdie Old School people,

As I have said before I started in 2009 * but… I can see a little of what’s being said.

I can see the typical greediness from some but as with all things the (Balance) must prevail.

Many people don’t like a crater since it amounts to the (king of the hill) game kids played with serious drawbacks… whomever’s clan is there first… wins… sorta lol and forget a lone player… jest put a corpse emblem over his/her head.

Now, if any and all people who did not have an individual as their target were to be penalized by being frozen for 3mins. (or whatever time) and attackable/killable by the wronged party only… then there might be some (Honor) returned to battle. If a clan or just a group of friends (camped) they might well forfeit their goods for dishonorable acts!

I’m not into PvP much anymore since the articles of war don’t appear in most games nor the consequences for war crimes… =) Just a thought for (balance) to the game.

Don’t get me wrong… I might go back to PVP but not at this time.

/s/

Few things that should definitely not be done:

Craters (or anything) being put in the Wilderness - if the craters do get added, put them somewhere currently inaccessible (like was done for Clan Wars), not in the middle of the Wilderness. This should go without saying, but you never know.

Extra drops when PKing. - don't release them. Statuettes brought large amounts of GP into the game and were introduced at a time when Jagex didn't have free trade and, apparently, didn't have a single person with even a rudimentary understanding of economics working for them and brawling gloves devalued XP monumentally, we don't need either of them.

The other issue is that if you drop any sort of extra items when people are killed, people will kill each other to farm them. Keep the current loot system of "you get what your opponent drops" and don't change it.

Personally, from feedback in the comments and actual experience from back in the day, I think craters should be off the table. The only way you'd be able to introduce craters in a way they could pass would be to efficiently find a way to eliminate clans camping the entrances, and even then there just seem to be too many issues spread across the board that players have with craters. Put simply, I don't think it would ever pass.

That being said I don't think a BH world would pass either. As much as I would enjoy a BH mechanic to be invoked at some point, in a PVP world it really would split up the community, even a tiny bit more. That in itself is a reason to vote no, seeing how thin-spread PKers already are as of late.

My personal opinion is along the lines of a few others I've seen in the comments and would revolve around eliminating the PVP worlds and introducing the mechanic back into the wilderness on some worlds. No, not a designated mini game area, the whole wilderness, but only on a few worlds. Then those who wish to participate in BH have a place to do it, while those who enjoy just regular PKing have their worlds as well. As for the exact mechanics and specific rules, you'll have to find inspiration elsewhere. But this, if the vast majority voted for it, would push the PKing community back together a little, and make it seem a bit more lively in the wilderness again.

I've been pking since 2004, seen a lot of stuff come and go, but i think pvp worlds is **** because it enables people to stand in a safespot only coming out for a split second to rush someone.

As for the Bounty Hunter question, i believe a wilderness with bounty hunter-like mechanics is the way to go.

I agree with Warlock. The craters were an eyesore, the extra drops messed up the economy and extra dropped items encourages farming. I think that turning the wilderness parts of pvp worlds into bounty hunter worlds would be a good idea (how many people go to pvp worlds to fight in the wilderness?). This would allow for normal BH worlds and high risk BH worlds like we have had in the past.
