''This would force the other skillers to use these methods as well''

''This would be healthy for the game.''

--

Then I suppose it would also be 'healthy for the game' if pkers are forced to get 99 farming or agility BEFOE they're allowed to get any loot from pking.


No it adds a new dimension to the game that was lost between 2004-2007. Nobody is forcing anyone to use these PVP worlds, but if you want optimal xp rates, then you're going to have to risk the odds and do what you can to survive. If you aren't willing to adapt then you can still get great xp rates on non-pvp worlds, but for the best xp rates there should be more risk involved.

There would also need to be incentive for pkers to "make their rounds" to the various skilling areas of runescape to hunt down skillers. I don't know how it could be done on a time based system without being abused between friends, but I'm sure that it can be done.


Being quite literal, nobody is 'forced' to do anything (including using the ability bar to play the main game).

I quoted what you said, and offered a comparable 'healthy for the game' idea.

It was intended as sarcastic (as I don't believe it any more reasonable to force pkers into skills than I do to force skillers into pking).

However... what's good for the goose is certainly good for the gander.

What some of you are implying is that pkers should get the best of the best and should get it on the backs of the skillers.

When the 'bribes' don't work for more than a few days, and when the ideas of bribing those skillers into pvp worlds are gone.. pvp will still be just as dead.

The greater issue, IMO, is bringing in that very first BONUS XP.

Doesn't effect me either way. I don't play it currently. I'm simply here (and voting in polls) hoping it will end up something I want to play again.

While I don't mind pvp worlds in themselves, I don't feel os should have xp boosting gear full stop and high level pvp gear when gwd is just around the corner. I also don't see the point of a "withdraw all but 1" with the current bank system where you can with draw all and bank 1 back into the same slot. It is just pure idleness.

For the xp multiplier in pvp worlds old school what if you made it to where you have to fight different people to receive it. so people will not try to train in a pvp world. :)


What if they made it so NO combat skills get xp in these pvp worlds?

well personally i wouldn't care. it'd actually be good because I could make a pc prod and never level up. all the really good accounts gain combat levels too fast, and not gaining combat xp would make these accounts worth making.

but yeah the guy you quoted doesn't have a good idea imo
