No extra incentives means it's not really bounty hunter, as you aren't getting any bounty for killing the player, it's just a pointless update that will change nothing, and in a few weeks everything will be back as it was, apart from maybe people getting annoyed that their targets are clue hunters in deep wildy with no loot on offer for killing them, pointless update.

Rs3 lost 80% of its players because you didn't listen to your PAYING members, 80% of those were pkers. There is zero profit in pking at the moment. Wilderness needs an EP system and the population of pkers needs to be condensed to two worlds only! It will completely revive player killing.

I just think it's so funny. I would've voted yes for craters. And I will still vote yes for craters.

I will NEVER vote yes for more pvp world implementations. GET THAT OUT.

Continue trying. But this lame idea will NEVER pass without a compromise.

But JaGex simply isn't adding the compromises into this idea. It'll fail once again. Just another waste of time.

I enjoyed Bounty Hunter exponentially more than the lame post trade cap pvp world EP Bounty Hunter which fed the economy with endless amounts of inflation. Keyword: Exponentially

I'm sure a lot of these pkers barely even got a taste of what the craters were really like. And that's why they don't even know to suggest it!

Don't change the game. Simply add a NEW AREA where it can happen. I would prefer craters with viewing orbs. I'm sure other people have some compromises they'd like implemented into a NEW AREA rather than just pvp worlds. SO LAME!

I'll also note that from 2005 until the end of bounty hunter craters I was a full-time pker. Then after the release of the trade cape and end of getting any loot, I focused on other parts of the game. That being said, I haven't yet once pked on OSRS. But I would pk the first day of a BH crater OR new area releases SEPARATE from pvp worlds. If I need to highlight the importance of BH being in its own zone more, let me know. Because JaGex clearly isn't understanding what they can do to make Bounty Hunter truly work.

There can easily be a compromise. But not with PVP worlds.

And I am reading that a lot of people want an 'incentive' for killing a bounty hunter target.

In the craters or a NEW zoned area, the WHOLE point of killing your bounty was that you were able to leave the area immediately after without a timed penalty. IF you killed somone that wasn't your bounty you couldn't leave for 180 seconds.

Please tell me HOW is that not incentive? Hey look, a compromise!

Don't let your greed get in the way of becoming a better pker. Pking is very profitable when you're good at it.

And for those that really don't understand, Pking was never an activity that people profited a lot from. It's called a RISK environment for a reason. You can either make money or lose it all! It's not the new implementations that's needed to make pking profitable. Just becoming better!

If you put a 180 second penalty on a good pker in a zoned area that they cannot leave that gives a ton of noobs a chance to take him out. That's completely fair. Because when the noobs get the penalty they experience the same dilemma. And thus giving everyone equally a chance of getting something without having to watch people constantly teleport away. That was one of my favorite aspects to the craters. And with a compromise, potentially some new area not like the craters as much.

To be rewarded is the argument. You're rewarded with either bounty hunter points or rogue points. That's fun. Maybe after an accumulation of so many points you can receive some rewards. Rewards catering PARTICULARLY to Bounty Hunter and not any other PVP environment. Since it would be ZONED and not an ENTIRE WORLD. (wat r u thnkn? a...world? pfft.)

Strange, this blog is titled 'Bounty Hunter' but doesn't contain anything that made the mini-game fun.

Where are the rewards, non-target looting penalties... craters?

Running across the entire wilderness to kill a 3 itemer for the sheer joy of knowing they have a pointless arrow over their head is not Bounty Hunter at all. I am so disappointed with how these blogs are looking.

I feel Jagex is going the wrong way about trying to get the wilderness more active. I feel that people who currently play and want to PK will do so, either solo, joining a clan or team etc.

Getting more people into the game to begin with would be a better step, and let "dead" content areas get organically busy again.

I fear going this way about it will end up with us having a "prefect" wilderness system in place that majority have agreed with, but half of the player base has left in the process due to be being inpatient.

BRING BACK THE BH CRATERS. DO NOT SUPPORT THE PVP WORLDS**** CRATERS MEANS MORE PKERS IN AN ENCLOSED AREA AND EASIER PKING INSTEAD OF WAITING AROUND 15 MINUTES IN AN AREA WHERE IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND A FIGHT. THE PENALITY SYSTEM MADE IT MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING
