That is still crap and wont get people into wild.

We are always looking for new ideas, if you have any feel free to share.

80% of this thread is asking for ep back for killing your targets to get bonus drops such as brawlers ect.

And, as explained in the original post, there are a large number of big problems with such a system that would negatively impact players in every other area of the game.

This isn't 2007 this is oldschool if you hadn't noticed.

So in other words your saying we dont need any bounty hunter..... lol?

Honestly I don't think the target system would even be so bad on all worlds, it would help you find other players which I don't think is a bad thing really.

But trying to pass this on as bounty hunter is just laughable really.. the reason people want BH is the extra loot, if you can't offer in a reasonable manner that then just drop BH completely.

its not because of it not offering loots as if that was the reason then pvp worlds would also of failed.. Its just because its not to well done with how its being updated to the game. No rule about being in a certain level of wilderness to attack people or nothing. Its just the wildy with a targeting system..

I see all these PKers whining about how PKing doesn't make money. Well, then stop PKing and start crafting nature runes. Whenever anyone talks about dangers training in the wilderness, many PKers say "Well, it's the wilderness, it's suppose to be dangerous", well, if you want to make money, get out of the wilderness, since no one ever promised you'll turn a profit in it*

** failed the first poll, hopefully it will fail this one, too, and send Jagex the message to not cram crap updates down the community's throat when we all vote no a first time. Same goes for artisan.

Voting no, gonna be pretty dead. This is a useless waste of time, should work on other aspects of the game, perhaps looking into and repolling some aspects of the trade fix.

Its kind of funny you say bh has been requested since the beginning so you take out the part that people actually want and push 1 tiny aspect that hardly anyone cares about as if you are doing what people want and it will have some huge impact on the game.

Calling it now, if this passes, it will bring less than 5% more activity to the wildy after any release hype is gone, this update will happen and nothing will change, wild will still be dead. Maxed Sept 24th, 2015 - 134th to max

Big mistake on no added bonuses to target kills, just going to be another update to wildy that's seldom used and makes no real difference. At the very least brawlers could have been a rare target drop. SOMETHING. Anything to make it worth the time and cost of pking.

If you read like it said in the dev blog things such as those wouldnt rly add anything special or add any new content.. It only devalues things people worked for in money and in lvs.

A reward of any kind doesn't devalue what people have worked for or the levels they've gotten. What I was saying was that there needs to be SOMETHING. It could literally be any sort of incentive to pk that had to do with profiting somehow, whether in gold or in better gear to pk. Like I've said in previous posts, cosmetic items or a record of how many kills you have is simply not enough.

Sorry but i'm incapable of seeing why statuette loots are a bad thing?
When you said, "it provides nothing new for the game in terms of content and devalues every other money making method that currently exists." do you mean that it will drive people away from skill-based earning and instead push them towards PKing for money? Because THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT NEED!

You said, "Added incentives are not being offered with the Bounty Hunter target system." That is exactly why your proposed idea will not work. There is no incentive to PK right now and implementing this system is not going to change that. It is in the way of the world for people to desire profit, for money is power. There is no money in PKing anymore, therefore people will not do it. Simple.

I guarantee you that everyone who has tried to PK in the last 12 months has either said this, or been told this: "Get a risk". Why? Because they want to earn money. That want to PK for their money. Think back to a few years ago to when runescape was in its prime. When was that? With Bounty Hunter worlds. Why? Because not only was it fun, but it was profitable. As soon as the wilderness returned, people slowly stopped PKing because it was less profitable. The raggers came back, and everything went to sh*t. The game more or less drowned under its own (former) success. Why were BH worlds so successful? Not only was it an enjoyable method to make money, that every player could do, but it was also an item sink. You think that this will de-value other money making methods? Wrong. People train slayer so that they can kill abby demons for whips. More whips enter the game. Supply increases, demand drops. Price plummets. With a money sink, the amount of whips entering the game = the amount of whips being removed from the game. Supply drops, demand increases, prices go up. PKing becomes more profitable, and slayer becomes more profitable.

I swear to Satan, the amount of skillers that think they know what's best for pking is astounding. It's like the Amish trying to tell a pilot how to fly a plane... Just f**king stop. Jagex; please for the love of RuneScape LISTEN TO THE PKERS. Take His Lordship as an example; he knows more about PKing and PK culture than any skiller or JMod does.

Jagex dosnt realise that Bounty hunter isnt what we need to make pvp fun, what we need is bigger community and only way to increase player base is release true oldschool like free 2 play servers, my only guess they havent done that is they fear of losing all RS3 players moving over to oldschool then, oh well.
