We totally understand that by implementing EP system their is the possibility of most items suffering a deflation. However, by implementing this BH system will only keep the pkers satisfied for the first couple of days, as there is practically no incentive. I personally still believe that there should be some kind of EP system, after all the OSRS is mainly made up of pkers (MAINLY).

Also I don't see the need of adding the system in all worlds, nevertheless, the wilderness is meant to be a dangerous place... so pkers, skillers, clue hunters and PVPs should take on the risk :P

I think this is a great idea.

why not make a BH rewards shop that sells PVP ARMOUR AND WEAPONS for example make it so you have to kill 2000 targets to perchase vesta's longsword and make it untradeable. Also think of a way you cant farm rewards you have to actually earn them

Why call it bounty hunter if there is no bounty? If there are no incentives bounty hunter will become dead content within a day. It is really great that the oldschool team has polled every piece of content that has been added, but they really need to step up and add incentives without polling it. They should get player feedback from what the incentives should be, and poll them. Without incentives, that will actually be beneficial to pkers, the oldschool team will be wasting their time

tl;dr,
Sometimes the majority players just don't know what's good for the longevity of the game. Maxim Vir Meretrix;

Exactly! If they implement a target-system like this, it'll be dead content within a few days. I don't see the point in having a target system if there's no benefit to actually killing your target other than some cosmetic stuff. I've been looking forward to this update for a few weeks now, looking back at how the "bounty hunter-era" was my favorite time of RS ever. Just makes me frustrated to see that this is the way they approach this.

This idea, the bounty hunter! Damn i was excited.. but putting the update in like this.. will provide insta dead content..Ill be honest, im not a huge fan of Sparc Mac, but i watched the video he made, and he is on the spot. If the bounty hunter comes out like this... PKing, is all over.. it will be dead.. pkers will leave the game..

I think it should be reworked, as to get a rewarding loot on killing your target, some cosmetic ****.. like cmon.. there are waaaay to much cosmetical items in 07 already..


Jamflex.. please dont provide dead content and implement it the way you proposed it.. poll it or what ever.. but this is in my opinion.. stupid.. and a waste of your time and a waste of my time in runescape, as i will quit it cuz all my hopes are on a good bh update..

Do it like this,

You have two totems you can buy from mandirth or w/e his name is. Both of these totems will cost 300k to buy and will always be lost on death. However on death they will turn into 200k coins.

One is called an angelic totem, if you are carrying this totem you will receive bonus exp for skilling in a dangerous area. IE wild or pvp worlds. Even if its a 1.1 multiplier. That can be any skill any location to encourage people to use the whole pvp worlds instead of the bank standing ragger rusher instant tab environment you created.

The second totem will be a Demonic Totem, this totem will allow players to have the rare chance of receiving a range of statuette drops if you are killing monsters above a certain combat level in a dangerous area. IE wild or pvp worlds. This will allow players who are camping monsters normally like abby demons or etc to do it in a pvp world for the chance of extra loot but they obviously will be risking their items ya know?

I think this is a very fair answer to a lot question plus it creates a money sink. "I've been playing since 2006 but jagex made me quit 11/20/2013"

There has to be a type of EP system with incentives for hunting down your target and spending money on supplies/ time chasing them down etc… if there wasn't then why would i chase this guy down when I can just go get a fight in Cammy?

Reading these posts the players are telling you what they want, and to be put simply, without an EP based reward system you will be introducing the newest dead content in osrs*

** will be dead within a week as it is proposed in this dev blog.

first things first i just wanna say add ep/statuettes

Right now as i see the people who are refusing are either
A. People who think economy will crash
B. People who are making more money than the average player and doesn't want anyone else to know their methods
C. People who think there is merit in "hard work in a skill" yet most skills you could afk or you could just buy your way to 99 doing the fast way.

I believe adding ep/statuettes would be good thing and a bad thing first things first let me say some of the bad things:
1. Inflation, items will be overpriced along with certain items such as supplies, weapons, armor, and other items.
2. It will might be able to be abused to make millions of gp and possibly make the economy go bad.
3. Theres a possiblity that it will be dead content not 100% for sure though.

Here are some good things:
1. The average "Casual player" could make money off pking whilist do other stuff in real life since most of the "Rich people" play the game for hours on end.
2. Alot of people from private servers will see it profitable to pk so they will come back from private servers to play runescape and start to pk.
3. I'm sure your average joe does not want to spend 20 hours of his life trying to make 1m gp when he has school, work, maybe his own family and other irl stuff to take care of.
4. Theres a possibility people will start to pk more and items will rise (because people won't be training skills but pk and not much ppl would be PvM and Skill)

The EP/Statuettes is more for the average joe who can't invest as many hours to play compared to people who play 20 hours a day.
What we want are old/new players to come back and most of those old/new players have college, work, school and other issues to deal with. I'm sure they won't spend 7.95 a month on a game where money is hard to make when you could easily buy a different game and play that instead of investing hours just to get stats and money to afford gear/supplies to pk with.
