I am all for this but sorry, this will not last for long without an incentive that draws people in (IN MY OPINION) and the cosmetic rewards idea is nice but again, if there is no real use? why get it, just to look pretty in which i find to be impracticable

No offense intended but this is just my view, i really really don't want to see this minigame cave in

I agree that it won't last long probably.

I don't think cosmetics are impracticable. Cosmetic rewards have been put into the game several times before. I see no reason it would be impossible to do again, especially with our own J mod for graphics now.

The problem is that BH was meant to replace something that still exists. For it to really be worth it, I think it would have to be changed on a very basic level, be a safe minigame to set it apart from the wild, and somehow give rewards people would want without devaluing items already in the game.

That's not an easy task***** changed from that level is REALLY impracticable.

I dont really see the point in just having the system, the system is a nice idea but people have been finding fights easily since the start of old school so I wouldn't want this ingame.

Just as a question, if it was released, would it have teleport to target? RIP Forums :(
Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.

I think it is a step in the right direction from a pkers perspective. Only do it on certain worlds though and I can't believe all of the negative comments and people wining about clue scrolls. Have some fun and sense of thrill. Runescape is built off of pking! I think a target system in pvp worlds would even be fun. We should try it out and rewards can come later. For now lets just kill some targets and find out how it goes.

I support the way you want to have bounty hunter targets and get them almost immedietly. Maybe not on all the worlds though because as people have said before me Clue hunters are going to be a tad mad. people that want to clan pk bosses are also done. So max of 2 worlds would be nice for bounty hunter. On another note not having some sort of extra reward for players is kind of a downfall. You arent giving them a reason to really go find there target, its just another person in the wildy. Also your target could have nothing on them and you kill your target its almost pointless. I think you guys should come up with some kind of reward. whether it be so many bounty hunter kills can buy you something, such as brawlers (Or something like it), a weapon, armor, anything to give us a reason to really participate in bounty hunter.

What ever happened to 'power to the players' ... Is this a joke?

Do you know how many people will come back to this game if you added the EP system back? There is a reason that era had the highest peak in player base.

I strongly suggest adding the ep system back, with bonus loot incentives. THIS WILL NOT, I REPEAT , THIS WILL NOT negatively effect the economy.
trust my word on this and watch the average player base go from 15k to 40-45k on at anytime.

I voted no on the last BH poll due to no incentives, and will be voting the same again. THERE IS NO POINT.

I understand some incentives that bring money into the game being something that people don't want, but there needs to be SOMETHING for this to last more than a week or two. Brawlers, why not? The only place in the wilderness where you can really efficiently skill in my opinion is the resource area near mage bank, and if that does become active with skillers, more pkers will come pk there which only brings good for activity in the wilderness. Even with a 2x or 1.5x xp boost it still probably wouldn't be worth training in the wilderness to be "efficient" because you would have to constantly hop worlds, or get pked.

Another thing brawlers would bring is people going to places in the wilderness that are otherwise dead. An example in the lava maze. Who is going to go to the lava maze unless they are either A hopping for steel platebodies to alch or B Doing the elite clue scroll located here. Under the lava maze there are 2-3 black dragons, some sort of demon (lesser or greater), a runite rock, and some spiders. Or, The "Axe Hut" in level 55 wilderness, who's going to train there over nmz? With brawlers people might actually go to places like these which overall increases wilderness activity.

Finally, if you're complaining about doing a clue scroll and becoming a target, assuming this update is put into all worlds in the wilderness, WHY DO YOU THINK CLUE SCROLLS WERE PUT IN THE WILDERNESS?? Maybe it's so pkers can go to clue scroll locations and KILL YOU because you are in the WILDERNESS. High Risk = High Reward. If you risk going into the wilderness to do your hard/elite scroll you have the chance to get the "high reward" of third age, robin hood hat, etc. If you as a clue scroller have a problem with this then you can drop your wilderness coordinate scroll on the ground.

I support this update whole heatedly but I fear it will not pass because there are no incentives other than actually finding someone to fight (which might be an incentive on its own tbh).

I think you should impliment some sort of reward shop or system to reward the people who claim kills in the wilderness,add a seperate target system which gives different but more rewarding items for killing your targets.

Ideas could be enchantments for certain items mabye? spend points for them similar to NMZ? just earned the harder way through killing players and or targets, points earned through player killing normally, and killing targets.

Rewards? armours? similar to vesta and such, but of course not as powerful, you say we need better helmets into the game barrows does not cut it, why not? use points earned through pking to purchase certain armours from a new shop implemented, or use points for different things? items that are used for pking, upgrades for items that are used often? i think we can be more creative here
