I can already see plenty of problems with this new system and ways to exploit/abuse it. I am not a player who would do this as i like pking and is really the only reason i play the game, but if at just a 15 minute glance i already see ways to manipulate the system you can bet that others also see this. You say that naturally the exploiting will come out but this would only be after people massively abuse the system and i'm assuming you wouldn't catch half the people who ended up doing this. I like how you are trying to engage more people in pvp. I personally do not feel this is the way to go about this. I hope you get the feedback you are looking for.
I like it how you claim to see exploits by just glancing at the post. So clearly you didn't read the blog you just glanced at it. Also the entire time you are crying about exploiting the system you not once mention how to exploit it.

Theoretically, with a large enough group of friends, you could just repeatedly die to each other and return items, so the bh loot would be extra money. However, that is something that is exploitable regardless of how they introduce such a system. This is the closest to non-exploitable they are going to get.
yet another person who didn't read the blog.. I don't get you people. It clearly states that you can only upgrade your token if you kill your target. Your target is assigned randomly and you cannot get the same one one after another. read the blog and stop commenting on stuff you know nothing about.

It's always been a bad idea to open polls to the rs community, simply because people here are hard headed and don't know what's best for the game. At least for big decisions like this update, it should be up to jagex, with input from various knowledgeable people about game play and the community.


Aside from that, In my personal opinion, I would like to see Runescape evolving into a game with more diverse methods or doing things and more accomplishments to go for
As for the rewards, I agree that d claws should be added in, without any nerfs. Ags's are just as powerful if not stronger. This will add in another method of getting high tier gear without PvMing. Also, add in the old pk armor such as vestas/morigans. This will not ruin PvM as armor degrades and only the rich of the rich would be able to use it, if they so chose to use it they wouldn't be rich long. This also gives rangers more things to play with such as the javelins and throwing axes.

The problem is nothing will ever get done because the people voting in these polls think that this content is much to op and is from 2013 and are not looking at what will help the game grow.

I agree with your first statement. I think Jagex should have the only say whether this update gets pushed through or not because too many people are saying no to this for the wrong reasons because it is clear they didn't read the blog or have zero interest in using this update.

Jagex should evaluate the thoughts of the rs community and evaluate the risk's involved, if the return on investment out weights the risks then it is worth releasing.

That's honestly very wrong and stupid. If you look at the amount of players there was alot at that start and it quickly went down. We actually have more people playing than before because of f2p. The reason there aren't many people playing is because osrs can get old and people want new stuff. People like you are holding this game back to die out, the reason rs has survived so long is because of the updates, however sometimes it's hard to judge what will be a good update. Most people would of preferred to have pre-eoc runescape, yes legacy was introduced for this reason but players like myself still find it hard to play as the economy is much different and there are many new items as well as other factors that changed the game negatively in regards to the old combat systyem.

D Claws as they were would ruin the game. A weapon with 60 attack requirement should never hit that accurately, that quickly. If D claws had the accuracy of a dds then it wouldn't be too bad.
I like the idea of the wilderness teleport tabs.
One thing i've thought would be a good addition for a long time would be a crossbow with a special attack that activates the special of the enchanted bolt being used, with different bolts using different amounts of special attack energy, e.g 25% for ruby, 65% for dragon etc. This would give back to pvmers who use range, and add a bit more of a threat to rangers. This crossbow would almost certainly have to be less powerful than the acb, and maybe even the rune.

Also I think an item that increases hp restoration would be good aswell, for example, when in your inventory your hp recharges naturally three times as fast, so abit like the holy wrench is with prayer, and it makes food heal slightly more, but I don't think this should be able to be used in pvp situations, or maybe it could but itd always be lost idk.

Say you have a group of 30 friends, and there is 300ish people in the world. Please explain to me how, statistically speaking, none of these friends will ever see each other as targets? It is abusable to a small extent, but that is unavoidable, no matter how they introduce it.
