I would vote to keep pvp worlds because I loved them back in their zenith. The ep system was also a lot of fun to play around with. I have fond memories of no-iteming in Lumbridge and seeing how long I could survive and what gear I could rack up. The ep system also allows items of high value to sustain their prices, due to the rng drops. The ep system would not conflict with people who would like to receive all the loot from their kill, as there will still be regular pvp. Hopefully the ep system will at least be polled.

It won't. Game will die again due to people that don't actually PK, voicing their opinions about PKing.

As someone who doesn't PK, isn't it important to get the opinions of people who don't PK? The PKing population won't grow if Jagex continues to implement updates that only the current PKing population really cares about. Right? They should be looking to expand the appeal.

Bounty Hunter might be something that'd make me want to PK.

Edit: I still say that the best way to interest me personally in using bounty hunter would be to allow me a way to imbue items through points gained in it as an alternative to using the NMZ.

Completely over looked the whole idea of extra loot or incentive for killing your target. Cool my target has 50k alch value who the **** cares. That barely pays for an inventory of sharks these days. Wheres the extra loot? wheres the incentive? You didnt read **** in the feedback "I've been playing since 2006 but jagex made me quit 11/20/2013"

Laugh out loud.

I don't know how I can read 60 pages of feed back and get such a different impression of what people want, or you just refuse to give what people want.

After 60 pages of people saying they wanted extra drop similar to bh worlds you completely overlook that and are simply going to add a target system and not only that you have to pay to get a target and it has nothing to do with being in the wild..? So you lose the extra activity in wild of people waiting for a target and you add a cost to participate. AND you don't add any extra loots.

I just can't get over my amazement at the result of your interpretation of all that feedback. Mod Ronan posted on around page 56 a better idea than this, his idea wasn't perfect but it was better than this, you seemed to have digressed a ton.

Your stubbornness to not add any loot rewards is appalling, I can kind of see some resistance to adding it to every drop, but so much resistance to even adding it to a random target..?

The ONLY good thing I see from this is the 50k risk requirement to enter. Dead content incoming.

Like I said before, an EP system or additional loot system is unlikely to pass a poll. This is why we are polling the mechanics and once they are in, we can look at how to incentivise it further.

Yet you say this, my reddit idea WITH A REWARD SHOP went down extremely well on Reddit with skillers even agreeing on the idea because of raw supplies.

This is going to suck if extra rewards aren't added, I can't under why you're so scared to add this to a poll? If it fails, it fails and we can carry on without on and add this boring system that is suggested.

Yup, we read that. Once the mechanics are in game and players have had a chance to play it, the community can have a better idea of if and what rewards it needs and we address that then. But, the idea of giving extra rewards for PKing is something that this community has struggled with and risking the whole BH idea over that seems the wrong move to me.

What's the point of adding this in then if there isn't a bonus to attract people in?

That depends on the bonus you are looking for. Having lots of people pking in the same place and being easily able to find a target of your level may well be bonus enough. If you get plenty of kills, you are going to make money in BH.

We are definately going to need a couple of things done for this to be a success.

1. Poll the removal of PvP worlds vs. the implementation of BH worlds, as it is, the community is not big enough for the both of them already, we need to pick which one is better for the overall health of the game. Sure, having options such as PvP worlds and the wilderness are great, but when there is a divided community doing all 3 with barely anyone to fight in each respectively, then we have a serious problem.

2. I would agree with the suggestion to wait until BH has passed a poll to make a rewards system, but i would also ask that you would make it apparent to the community as a whole to what you are planning on doing with it in the future.

It's a no brainer at this point that we are going to need extra rewards to keep BH fun and active, otherwise, what is the point of using them? But just make sure to keep the community abreast of the situation and EVERYTHING you plan on doing with it.

3. Definately going to have to say that paying 10k for a target is not something people will look fondly upon, especially if there are no rewards. Let's face it, not everyone reads the dev blogs, and when people see that they will need to pay 10k for a target without the knowledge that in the future a poll could pass where they recieve extra loot from that target, then they will most likely just vote no (since they lack the knowledge to vote properly). Please make sure this is addressed in the right way!

Lol, I told you guys that Bh worlds would over complicate things and would never work in 07. It was created in 2008, with many things in mind like grand exchange, trade limit, Hd graphics ect. It ain't to late to ask for craters tho guys. ;)

There's lots of people pking in PvP worlds and W302 edge. Why should I pay 10k to find someone if I can go on a PvP world or 302 and fight someone for free?

There needs to be an added incentive for partaking in BH. Some minimum loot value isn't going to cut it.
