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. @JagexRonan

You can limit it so only use brawlers in bh world and only have 1 bh world or something which would make it hard to use brawlers, Idk how many times people tried to pk me when using brawlers back in 2010.

Posted this on page 2 also.

Sounds good, how ever what I would like to see is the removable of pvp worlds and make 2 bh worlds for members world 18 and world 65, world 65 can be a high risk world.

This would make pking much better since it wouldn't be as hard to find fights.

I don't like getting no bonus drops from killing your targets, make it so you can only get 1 target every hour like old bh worlds and you can get ep again however ep will only work when you kill your target and there is a small chance to gain statues and brawlers, maybe pvp armour also, killing random people will not give you any of these items.

Also seeing dp added back into the game for better loot when killing targets.

You can make it so brawling gloves can only be used on bh worlds like they were back in 2010, which would make it a risk to gain the better exp rates.

The people who are asking for brawlers, statuettes and stuff like that are just looking for an easy way to make money or gain xp. This would ruin the economy, devalue skilling completely and just be completely useless

By the way, people who want to make money pking, ever heard about HIGH RISK fights? playing rs since 1976, 40 year vet cape soon

@Mod ronan

We have a little problem with bounty hunter, there are a very small amount of pkers
Those pkers are divided so far in : - 1 pvp world
- 1 high risk pvp world
- 1 high risk wildy world
- world 2
- and all around the wildy in other worlds

And now you also want to add bounty hunter ? You need to get rid of pvp worlds if you want bh to not be a flop.
And please, whatever you do, no penalty... that will only bring godsword lurers in the middle of the volcano HEHEHE

Don't introduce any money into the game. Modified Brawlers are a good incentive that doesn't negatively impact other parts of the game. You could argue that people will be buying less resources but I'd argue people who'd never bother training cooking will now be buying raw fish to use up their nifty gloves.

There has to be something. You seem to be scared about introducing rewards to PvP related activities. Why is adding a corp with all it's drops (which will devalue and affect a lot of other things in the game) okay but adding some brawlers isn't?

In response to some of the feedback in this thread I have updated the developer blog with the following...

Cosmetic rewards

In order to allow players to show off their success in hunting down their targets we could offer cosmetic armour sets that are unlocked after reaching a certain number of target kills. This would allow players to let everyone know just how many noobs they have slain and to grab themselves a unique and impressive looking outfit if they can take out enough targets.

Perfect, We need to think about a couple of things though to make sure this doesn't become dead content;

*How many kills?
*Tiers of gear/Upgrading?
*Possible emotes that come with the gear?


I also have some other suggestions that, if thought about; Could provide a motive for players to actually pk for.

*A skill cape for Pkers?
*Highscores
***'d Skill Brawlers?

** This is my favorite suggestion (2 of them), Firstly, some kind of "Slayer task" Given from slayer masters to go out and specifically kill players in the wilderness, Now for this the wilderness would have to be very active (I also think it should be a task you may skip without the cost of any points in case at that given time there are no pkers)

Second suggestion; A pk'ing achievement diary.

Easy tasks
* Earn your first kill!
* Loot any kind of item from your kill!
* Survive at least 5 minutes in the wilderness!
* Snare a player in the wilderness
-- More easy tasks --

Medium tasks
* Earn the final blow with a Special attack from ANY weapons!
* Earn the final blow using Magic!
* Earn the final blow using Range!
* Earn the final blow using Melee!
* Kill a player that is assigned as your target!

- Hard Tasks -

* Kill a player without using protection prayers.
* Kill a player without using any kind of stat boosting potions.
* Kill 2 players without banking OR trading.

I could think of way more. But i think this would give the wilderness some kind of activity?

So the only way, a player should make money pking is by high risking is what your saying? Have you ever done a high risk fight in 2014? Do you know how lucky you have to be to kill someone, usually with a high 70 ags cause its 2014 and everyone safes their balls off? You probably don't because you probably don't pk. Also, explain how it would "ruin" the economy. An abusable method sure, but extra loot on a target kill ruining the economy? Was the economy ruined in 08 when the bh system gave people a small sum of cash for "x" amount of target kills? No not really, the only time anyone could ever have claimed extra incentives ruined pking was probably way into 2010 when there was a lot of 76k tricking going on. Remove that kind of abuse, and actually reward pking and it really won't hurt the economy as much as you skillers/pvmers make it out to be. As for pvmers you shouldnt even complain because when theres more people pking, items such as the ags, bandos, dfs, barrows etc all sky rocket simply because more people need and use them. Only people who can somewhat complain are people who make money off skilling.
