Also the Bounty hunter rogues and Bounty Hunter scoreboards should be added back into the game. I was bummed when the craters were removed because there was no scoreboard.

Original message details are unavailable.
I am speaking for the Bh crater**** worlds were disastrous and stupid imo.

Typically, I'm not a pker, nor a fan of pking. But with BH, I would more than likely start, as I used to when the original BH came out.

What did you enjoy about Bounty Hunter? (Still crater only)

- Very crammed around edges. Made finding other players extremely easy.
- Target system was interesting.
- Losing all items on death made for a beautifully huge risk. It also gave smite a purpose.
- I liked Bh when it was all multi (but parts being multi would work as well). Made piling for kills by clans easy. (hehe).
- The fact that if you were barraged in the middle of the crater, you were virtually screwed, unless you managed to tank it out.

Bounty hunter craters where good because people couldn't sit in safe zones waiting for someone to rush, people couldn't really "rag", there were no looters and you had a rough estimate of what people where risking.

Bounty hunter worlds were liked because of the target system which worked 10x better then the one used in craters and the pj timer and fact you could still attack an opponent for 10 seconds if he entered a safe zone.

For me I think bounty hunter would be best suited to pvp worlds, as to not affect the wilderness/pking community to drastically with there only being 2 pvp/bounty hunter worlds plus would give them a real use. As it stands world 325 is only really active around safe area's and is mainly used by rushers, 337 is pretty much empty everywhere other then 1 item skiller's. The idea of chasing a target all over gielinor is not only really cool but would give people a reason to venture away from safe zones.

Give us the Bounty Hunter Crater. Bounty Hunter Worlds were a complete mess and system used to earn "EP" and get statues was terrible. Bounty hunter worlds were a sad implementation made to combat the craters beings used by dominant clans to transfer wealth. This is no longer a concern however since a trade cap does not exist.

Just give us the same crater, except maybe deeper in the wilderness. Survival of the fittest

I mean, it sounds fun and all that jazz, but in reality most people liked the looting system. I am not saying it should be the same, but maybe find a way to add some kind of extra reward for killing x amount of enemies. If not it is basically just the wild with a target system, which isn't really needed but it could help a little.

bad idea for bounty hunter. this content originaly caused massive riots and marked the beginning of the death of runescape.

Besides all it was targets hiding in multi waiting to pj with their clan.

will be dead content within 3 days

also a crater will mess up all the wildy coordinates again causing mass confusion for clue scroll hunters.

Bounty Hunter Craters were broken. It was almost impossible to get loot without getting killed by somebody else because of the timer. If you do decide to bring back Bounty Hunter, bring back the worlds. The EP and target system were really good. It gave more people an incentive to actually pk because you could make a real profit out of it.

I am terrible at it and almost always lose. I would like to try Bounty Hunter but I would like something put in place to make sure I am put up against someone not only near my combat levels, but also with my win/loss ratio taken into consideration.

I realize some players could abuse this and intentionally lose to get their win ratio down so they could fight someone easier, and I'm not sure what could be done about that, but I still think taking into account a player's win loss ratio would help in matching players for fights so someone not very good at PKing doesn't have to face someone who wins all the time so much.

I feel like this should be an expansion to pvp worlds. Currently what we see in pvp is everyone sitting at varrock west bank in rush gear. If you stay in a safe zone for 10 minutes, you lost your target and all bonuses from killing a target. This hopefully would make pvp worlds more interesting.

"let's split up our Pking community even more, then complain to Jagex that there's not enough people to fight and that they need to spend even more time on updates that 'bring people to the wilderness' now everyone else who plays the game gets less updates. Yay."
