I am very disappointed with the pvp and bh updates.
I'll write more on this later, but for now I want to point out that spec tabbing, rushing, pjing, etc so called "dishonorable" pking methods have always been part of the game and honestly are only a big problem insofar as the targets of such methods are 1 defense pures, which, granted, make up an enormous majority of player account builds.
As someone who's made several 1-defense pures in my time playing this game, I've always recognized the risk of getting quickly destroyed while standing idly in open space. Pure making has been internalized to such an extent that nobody really pays attention to the combat triangle anymore. Nobody thinks hitting a 20 with Rune scimitar at 49 combat is eye-catching at all anymore. Then the complaints about "overpowered" weaponry come.
So Bounty Hunters in BH worlds, the vast majority of them 1-defense pures, often either deal with it and continue making millions off of the game anyway (which many do), or they will constantly complain that they aren't getting the kills they want cleanly and easily. They literally feel that it should be another duel arena.
There is a peculiar
entitlement to the kill
, if you like, going on here. So many people would prefer fundamental mechanics changed as long as it cripples "undesirable" pking styles. I find this not only selfish but downright inconsiderate of the consequences.
I've been thinking about solutions to mend this. And seeing as the overall player-versus-player population in OSRS is not very high, or at least not as high as old times, I've been thinking about a proper BH arena somewhere in the wildy itself, sort of a throwback to the 2008 BH Crater, but not as far up, imo. I want to write more on this later. But it's just something that came to mind. Maybe they'd have to cross Edgeville and walk to it, and Edgeville will have pkers and stuff....
I believe someone mentioned fixing the pools as well. idk
