Why the imp box change? They're effectively useless now.
See the newspost, where the reason is given. We're aware this makes them far less useful, but we felt that wasn't the priority.

"Imp boxes were previously used to quickly bank items before being killed on PvP worlds and in the Wilderness. To prevent this method of avoiding risk, Imp boxes no longer work in PvP areas."

Am I missing something? Was there another post about this?

Could you add you need to wear a bracelet of ethereum bef4 you can enter rev cave? This to prevent 0 riskers to loot in rev cave.
And can we have an update to get those bots gone on osrs? Im starting to get flashbacks from pre eoc where 80% of players were bots.

As you quoted: "Imp boxes were previously used to quickly bank items before being killed on PvP worlds and in the Wilderness. To prevent this method of avoiding risk..."
That is the reason for the change, though it may not be one you agree with.

Changing the requirement is possible, assuming one gets the bracelet somewhere appropriate in the first place, and if the Support team's ever able to magically make all the bots go away I'm sure they'd love to do so, though it'd be a bit harder than just suggesting it.

I can appreciate that and I'm not trying to be rude. I'm just trying to understand the reasoning behind the change.
They already didn't work past level 30 wilderness or while in combat. And, while I can't speak for everyone, I tend to keep much larger quantities of chins before banking when I use imp boxes. While on the surface, it may appear to be less risky to use boxes, it can actually lead the user to make riskier decisions. The only time I've lost 400+ chins at once was while using imp boxes. This is purely anecdotal, but to me it seemed relatively well balanced with all things considered.

Again, I'm not trying to be rude. I would just like to better understand the thought process and the explanation provided is a bit... sparse.
