It made pking a money making method what is a good thing, people who have never pked before aren't going to try out pking if there is nothing to benefit from because atm you loose money pking unless you high risk pk what is also dead because no one is pking.

The ep system in 2009/2010 brought new people into the wilderness to pk because you could make profit, old school needs this because the amount of people pking due to the amount of money you loose is decreasing that's why pking is dead atm.

This also brought billions of GP into the game. Why would I go GWD for 3-4 hour trips when i can DDS someone in 10 seconds and earn 5m? Whips will be 43k, GWD items will be worthless.

We need to think hard and good about ideas to bring people to the wilderness that won't ruin the future of the game or ECO system. We need to do this instead of Rage commenting toward the Oldschool team, This doesn't help what so ever and it makes you all look a fool. Think for a second about all possibilities.

The devout Pkers are thriving to get rewards for actually killing their targets, it doesn't have to be the most extravagant rewards but I don't see the problem of including statuettes into the game again. Although the target system would return the rewards is a big part of the reason people even enjoyed BH.

Pkers take up majority of the OSRS community and its imperative that we are satisfied, please take that into consideration.

Pking NEEDS to be the best way to make money. The entire wildy is based on the fact of high reward, high risk, the mere fact of pking should be enough for you to make money. Heres a thought, add extra loot based on the items you are wearing. More risk = greater loot, or greater chance at better loot. How about actually going back to treating pking like the centre-stone of the game that it once was?

This could be SERIOUSLY abused by clans

If I'm reading this correctly, it says that you will be assigned a target, but your target doesn't have you assigned? So your target could have a different target at the same time you have him/her as a target? Or is it just worded badly? Also what's the point of that if it is true?

We need some type of reward for killing our target. You say that nothing like the EP system will return because its would kill the economy? How so? If you're not adding in stuff like vesta, statius, etc. Then it shouldn't be a problem. The fact that it cost more to pk to get a kill than the loot of each kill is stupid because the community is so small that prices for food/potions/etc is too high to profit from pking. If you just add the statuettes we shouldn't have a problem. It took 2 hours to get 100% EP if I remember correctly. After the 2 hours you go an kill your target and SOMETIMES receive good loot. You aren't always going to get the ancient statuette so it's not like you're getting 5m from every pk. That being said, you're probably going to average like 300-500k from 100% ep and a target kill. And that is after 2 hours of time, sometimes more depending on if your target will fight you or not. That's only 300-500k of loot. Literally nothing. How much do skillers make in that time? Well if you're doing nats and have some good rc levels you're making 1-2m in that time. Pkers make barely anything compared to skillers. So why is it that you are listening more to skillers/pvmers complain about pkers getting rewards for pking? They make way more money than we do, especially pvmers. Pkers play to PK. We don't like to skill/pvm "most of us at least". So why not give us our method of money making? You could even nerf the drop rates of statuettes easily. Make it 10x harder to receive the higher ones like armadyl and ancient.

You really need to think this out before polling it out jagex. Listen to the PKING community, You can make EP and incentive work on your terms.

I think all that needs to be done for pking to be an effective but not overpowered money making method.. would be to make protect item not work if you are skulled.
Anyway feedback on the actual questions? Don't spread BH targeting across all worlds. Perhaps consider brawlers (that are only useable on a BH world).

I hope you realise that this is not the case, nor has it been for a long long time. PKers make up less of the community than Skillers/Questers, nevermind PvMers.

I dont like BH worlds..**** Craters were so much better (1v1) , more enjoyable and also it made sence that when u kill you're target you get bh coins reward , you were not able to take any junk item in it, penalty was great and clans camping in the middle for rushers and ohter pkers. Ahh good old days

BH worlds are just a wilderness with target system and normal drops ... withouth EP system and random drops based on how much u lost and how much they risk**** worlds are worthless to me*

** craters > Wilderness > BH Worlds > PvP worlds

The problem is its generating money income into the game out of nothing. It's BAD. For the long run atleast. Anything generated outside of where it's supposed to come from; whether its a skill or a boss drop, Instantly devalues the purpose of doing that skill or boss. We do NOT want this.

I would like to see the Bounty Hunter Crater instead of all of the wilderness, but that is obviously a personal choice. I would like to see no coutdown timer if in the crater if they would implement the crater into the game.

+1. There are more PvMers than Pkers.
