Ep! or some Sort of Bonus loot is the key! Why? What's the whole point of adding a bh system, if theres nothing to encourage a player to even kill his target, Which is was bounty hunter even "WAS"
to hunt and kill your target. I loved pking in bh worlds. but would love to see some extra loots, or else might aswell just be the wild with a yellow arrow on some dudes head thats ur level.

This needs better rewards, maybe cash drops to incentivize chasing a bounty. Coin drops, as opposed to re-introducing pvp gear or giving pre-existing items as drops, would have little impact on the existing economy, while also avoiding rage from those that don't want overpowered PvP gear (like myself).

Putting it across all worlds though? Hell no. People doing clue scrolls, training, bossing or whatever would be put in an unnecessary amount of jeopardy, even more so than they are now. I dont want my target to be some dude walking to go kill lava dragons with 3 items. Not to mention this mini game style of pvp would destroy the current style of pking if it were implemented across every world.

2 worlds should do the trick, it would keep those who want to participate in a fairly dense population while keeping most other worlds open for real 2007 style gameplay.

its pretty sad how we wont be having bh on rs07 cause no1 wants to listen to the pkers like wtf cosmetic items?? why is it you always have to fix something that was not broken? the old bh system was thriving and perfect imo just add it how it use to be and watch all the activity come back to wildy and remove pvp worlds will help it.

please read this

It's a great idea and it looks like a ton of fun, but it will spread out PKers. i am almost certain that that doesn't explain it very well so here's my little example: there are 50 active PKers, 10 at Edgeville, 10 at PvP worlds, 5 at clan wars, 15 roaming around the wilderness and 10 doing bounty hunter. wouldn't it be better if they were all PKing at the same place? make the wilderness a more thriving place like back in 2011 it would just be so awesome and would make finding a fight easier.

Pking is dieing in OSRS! This is the solemn reason i play Runescape. The reason I pvp is the hope to make money killing players and yet there is no incentive to Pk besides to have a little bit of fun while blowing a good amount of money and barely breaking profit per kill. Why would a little bit of extra loot to a target kill be so bad!? Not like it changes the economy if statuettes were implemented. I Pk because in all honestly Jagex hates me for rare drops so bossing i literally cant do. I spent 3 days 10 hours a day doing barrows one weekend and literally got 2 items (verac's brassard, Ahrim's robetop) It never fails. I spent hours at dks and not one ring. For my sake and other pkers let us make a little money. WE will still need your sharks and have more money to buy all of them from you. LET US MAKE MONEY. There has to be more pkers like myself and get screwed bossing. Or at least mod someone look into my account and see if it is broken...

Come on guys, give an incentive to this. Brawlers/Some form of armor/weapons as a rare drop. Brawlers will encourage skilling. The armor/weapons would leave the money incentive to kill the target.

Statuettes... This is something I'm indifferent on. I'd love incentive to get out there and pick a fight I normally wouldn't. I think the statuettes with over 500k value should be dropped every five target kills where they risk more than 150k, therefore making it not really worth it to do the money "tricking."

I just saw very few of the previous posts, and what am I seeing? People wanting a money incentive... If you truly give a crap about what the player wants, put it to a poll. I'm sick of this "power to the players" crap when we don't even get a chance to vote. This game is alive because of the players who still come back, keep us happy. I make minimum wage an hour, go to college, and have a girlfriend. You know what? I maintained two memberships on this game for many years (off and on, especially when you ruined the game with EoC, but we won't go into detail) because it was fun. Now, can't you return the favor to me and the rest of the people like me and give us what we want for once?

It's gonna fail sorry for my "outburst" was extremely disappointed in the staff. But the community is letting you know now that it will not pass a poll. "I've been playing since 2006 but jagex made me quit 11/20/2013"

May as well throw in my opinion in this.

This is basically how pvp is now. Except with cosmetic items as a reward.

I honestly dont see a point in this, if i wanna kill my target i wanna actually get something i could use out of it and make my time worth it.

You set up a amazing system in the wilderness for skillers, why not bring brawlers back? I'm a skiller myself, i enjoy it. But being in a pvm/pvp clan has made me realize alot of people hate it in general. Lets get some more activity in the wilderness with these out! Give a people a good enough reason to train and skill. But lets not just hand out free xp like this, at least make it worth the time we put into hunting the targets and set them as semi-rare drop.

Cosmetic items are cool and all, but when you see hundreds of people walking around in it you don't really care for it. It will eventually become a dead content which is not the goal here.

Main conclusion:
: Cosmetic items - Hype wont last long. Eventually dead content.
: Need to put something worthwhile as a drop.

The suggestions are endless, but if you dont wanna effect the prices of things and turn this bounty hunter into a Overpowered money making method such as before, then turn it into a possible xp method as rewards.
