Why the wilderness changed

[Chao]

Yup on a fairly fresh account I can just hide in a corner at hill giants. 3 loads of bones and full rune.

 

Money is so pathetically easy to make in both F2P and P2P that there is no reason to go to the Wilderness at all.

[Pixel-Pigeon]

Clan wars white portal ruined pking. Majority of the kids who went pking (who weren't pkers) out in the day just wanted to PVP (which, f2p never had duel so there was always F2P kids out there).

 

 

There's a much bigger picture we've all missed while poiting the finger at the most commonly hated things that ruined the fun (which I do support the hatred but we're missing links to the problem).

We have a mostly empty wilderness, but the people that do PK are just cunts to everyone.

 

Miss being 11 years old on a range tank account and spending literally hours in Varrock level 1 and making friends easy as.

[Jts Ftw Pk]

I agree :(

[baldie]

[ZoT]

I hope they do something soon.

[Coz]

I am glad u put a tl;dr bc I scrolled straight here to check for one before closing your book.

 

Agreed + GE comment

I think all these new weapons killed it so basically PVM I guess. I think the update that official started the decline of pking was the god swords. Jagex should make some runescape 2006 server and just have everyone start fresh if they want to.

[IphantasyI]

agreed

If only theres were no updates after the wilderness ditch :/

If only we stopped updating before the ditch and barrows gloves were even in the game.

It's a new generation of RuneScape. Every game changes whether it be for the better or worse. Jagex listened to it's fan base when they brought back the wilderness, but the game had evolved during the time it was away and the typical RuneScape player changed. The game itself is set up where it could feel like it used to, the players are what make it not.

Yep, sadly totally true. And the GE killed the community, aka double k0.

That is kind of silly. I thought people Pked because it was fun, not because they wanted to make money.

 

When I played I flipped for cash so I could Risk Pk. I didn't risk Pk to make money o.O

I disagree. Adding new weapons prior to your attack level is not a bad idea. For example: A new sword comes out, need 90 attack to wield. It gets some people wanting to raise their attack, thus using it in the wilderness for a fair advantage. Seeing as they worked for it, it only make sense.

 

However, I don't SUPPORT adding overpowered weapons that almost everyone can use and have such low requirements to get. The community is another percentage of itself of why the wilderness changed imo.

[R 4 P ll D Z]

each word is true.

[LowBridd]

Yes. And we lost alot of great pkers in the removal of the wildy.

[Flash2Autowin]

gonna throw a brick in jagex's window

[Sexy-Elvy]

Once you go nh there's really no boundary to it. More of just a line of who's more capable
