I think you are wrong, i 'm so happy about the proposal and i will pk again if they add pj timer to single combat, it's called single combat for a reason. You guys clan fall in on a single player is abusing the game mechanics at the first place.

i dont even know where to begin with how bad this update is for pking. like almost all of it is terrible.

STOP KILLING PKING

you litterally killed the game when you removed and ignored BH

look at the player base and the active players. then revs was hit.


the people making these decisions have never pkd or are streamers who pk for subs not to actually play the game

there is an lms bug that keeps crossbow on long range when leaving lms. it got my account 2 def

so I quest ed 13 def

wasn't aware of the bug and it got me 14 def

essentially an account that's paid over 1k usd for p2p over 10 years is ruined through no fault of my own

with no way to contact help or get resolved

Incredulity said :
Further, you mention 68-70% of players do not fight back and think Skull-tricking is a big problem. What you failed to mention, was that 92% of players stated that they understand how the wilderness works (e.g. unique game mechanics and game rules). Yet, somehow, they are still dumbfounded when a skull appears above their head as if some malicious player was the sole cause of this occurrence. Therefore, you have not addressed additional factors, and your outcome is extremely biased.

Some of the other statistics suggest that nearly 40% of responding players actively use the wilderness, with the main proportion of those players seeking some form of money-making. First, I would like to identify that the question, ‘which of the following best describes the main reason you enter the wilderness’ is extremely flawed in its asking. All of the options: fighting other players; completing clue scrolls; skilling content; money-making; killing wilderness bosses; and unique rewards all fall under the same category of ‘money-making’ - to some degree. Also, I do not believe the entire discourse of the wilderness is being considered; this survey was delivered at a time when the wilderness was in the becoming used less often, as recent changes to the Revenant Caves were implemented. I believe that were this survey created before these changes, the results would be drastically altered. Further, were this survey created before the addition of the Revenant Caves, the results, again would vary dramatically. As for some disclosure, I do believe some aspects of skulltricking are not at the fault of all players, but rather the game mechanics that apparently 92%, full-well, understand. Clearly, they do not. Change your game mechanics, not your game play.

I couldn't have described my issues with the poll any better. There are many contradictions and biases in the poll. Yet Jagex is basing massive game-changing updates on it.

Please poll these changes. None of these are "game integrity issues". That's an excuse to avoid polling changes that are certain to fail.

Let me help clarify:

An emergency bugfix to shut down the glitch used to carry out the Falador Massacre is something that could be considered a "game integrity update". Fixing an item duplication glitch is a "game integrity update".

Changing the stats on a 17+ year old piece of equipment to "ensure Dragonhide armor was reduced in strength relative to its cost" is NOT a game integrity update. If players decided to bid black dhide armor to the moon on the GE, would you go buff the stats accordingly?

It really feels like Jagex brought some "new people" on board and they've decided to go change everything up. Unpolled changes are NOT acceptable.

I'm starting to get tired of this stuff. I gave this game another chance (OSRS involved starting over, and then I started over again when iron mode was introduced), but my patience with Jagex screwing up is starting to wear thin.

I read your blog until my eyes glazed over....TMI about the details of the combat stats of various weapons and armour.....
I just hope that when you announce what you've done to the game, you make it understandable to those of us who avoid the Wildy unless we need to go for a clue. As you can see from your other polls, we are the majority, and we really don't care about all the detailed mechanics of player killing; we just don't want to be hassled.
