haha oops sorry i got a bit impatient and jumped to the conclusion of your gonna decide by the posts that are put on here well fair enough for the poll but as i said though i really do think it will cause a bit of mayhem by putting them in obviously you have been reading a lot of these posts and your getting feedback off them just hoping that you or/and whoever is updating old scool rs does not make the mistake of putting in updates that will ruin pking/game again... also with anything that money can be made out of polls are not going to be legit the community there also gold farmers who will be mass voting the polls if there is alot of money that could be injected to the game.

Dont take it the wrong way, but jagex has NEVER managed to make a proper pvp score system that wasn't open to abuse, and the way i see it, in this game, its not really possible either
Fair enough. Would you mind picking through the one that was proposed in the blog, please? We hoped it'd get past most of the problems that arose before.

The one in the blog doesn't give a lot of technical details, if im reading it correctly this is what describes it in the blog:

Suggestions include degradable high-level armour and weapons, or XP-boosting gloves.

When awarding extra rewards to "successful" PKers, it is necessary to avoid players killing each other repeatedly to farm the rewards. We could do this by awarding points to a PKer for each kill they get; the number of points would be calculated off their victim's combat level, but would be reduced if the victim has already been PKed recently. So if players try to kill each other repeatedly, they wouldn't actually get many points for each kill unless they waited a very long time between kills (outside safe areas).

One problem is that awarding points based on combat level is open to killing 1 itemers to farm points, which would probably be favored over killing actual pkers

And another problem is that Pkers actually tent to kill eachother repeatably aswell in rematches, for revenge, fun, and this would discourage rematches

This is why i don't believe in a point system, for multiple reasons, it wont feel natural as you will always keep it in mind when killing people, open to manipulation.

Seeing as the items were never meant to be cost effective, just used for fun as you obtained em or at a high cost, i firmly believe a highly expensive shop would solve most problems, not be open to abuse, be an item sink, not discourage rematches, no killing 1 itemers for better loot.

It's rs2, not 2007scape. Seems like so many people that were proponents of that 2006 rsps are also the ones who can't accept good updates from 2008+.
