GE (good explanation?)

FANTASTIC ARTICLE!! Thanks very much, that was a very enjoyable read. I absolutely agree with your sentment. The "honour system" is truelly idiotic, as ridiculous as the abyss pker that says "GF" after pking you while you are unarmed, skulled, low on health, entangled and teleblocked. Yes, as you point out, he is simply using the mechanics of the game to his advantage and the person using the abyss to rc surely understands the risks involved, but according to the "honour system" that is apparently a good fight??? Please explaine the logic here, because i really dont see it.

Abyss pkers, without any doubt. Personally I think it was Jagex's worst moment when they decided to create an area where players are rewarded for cowardice. The abyss pkers should'nt shoulder all the blame alone though. I mean they are just oppertunistic cowards, not much they can do about that personality flaw. They are after all simply parasiting on a sittuation that Jagex created. Here's Jagex's thinking: 1) Lets take the slowest leveling skill in the game and then add a method to level it a bit faster (by fast we now mean 20k xp per hour max instead of the normal 32k that other skills have or even around 200k for thieving) 2) This faster method will require you to run upto level 5 wildy, unarmed, skulled and not on full hp (as is often the case after a couple of loads) but carrieng a 50k's worth of glory with you each time (just to add a final bit of red ink to the bullseye painted on the runcrafters back). 3) When you die (believe me eventually you WILL be pked), you must then go into another area where you are only given half the normal cmb experience and spend 30 minutes to 2 hours there trying to replace the equipment you lost. So basically i would wish for 2 things to be removed from the game] 1) Abyss pkers 2) Their reason for existing (ie, the abyss being in the wildy) Atom Vermin ps: Have you noticed the results of the latest Jagex poll? It seems that about 65% of the people that completed the poll are thinking along the same lines
