But you're missing the point. Combat is becoming one-sided again, just like it was in Classic - now instead of the most awesomely powerful weapons being solely used, you have players using weapons that are only at the speed of a Dagger. That's insane. I did not know that. It's only obtainable as a drop on PvP worlds but I'm pretty sure it can be used on non PvP. While your suggestions for F2P are very generous, being a F2Per, I would say that they imbalance the combat situation. In my opinion, rangers and meleers are relativly equal in damage output capability. With around 90+ ranged (aquirable at low combat levels) ranged hits rapid 16-17s with very high accuracy, much greater than any meleer at the combat level. Of course, this evens out when we get near maxed combat because meleers get high accuracy (attack) and power (strength). However, that's the problem of combat levels, irrelevant to this thread. My point is that range really doesn't need a power buff. Having said that, crossbows and bolts in F2P are completely ignored. Maybe crossbows and bolts of equal power to the current bows and arrows? Mage most certainly needs an update. Possibly wave spells, although this could overpower it. Snare is needed and so is teleblock. I haven't heard of many players using any PvP weapon on a non-PvP server, mostly likely because they're so damn overpriced, but that's just me. Anyway, perhaps Melee and Range are on even footing as far as power goes. It's not uncommon to simply defeat meleers my level with nothing but rune arrows or bolts. I'm more than willing to give freeplay Snare, teleblock, and Wave spells. What self-respecting PvP Mage would use standard magic, anyway? Yeah fire wave would make f2p mages respectable again, whereas now they are a joke at over 55 combat, and its not like p2pers use waves.

I agree with all your suggestions makoto.

Where claws shine is as a combo weapon, start barraging someone, range armour goes on, claws instantly kill them, almost no chance of survival.

Here is a video clip showing otherwise: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdfqXkC1wXE [hide=Those who prefer embedded]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdfqXkC1wXE [/hide] I believe that the prayer by the KQ actually works in the same way in the PvM and PvP situation. When you're fighting a monster, your prayer will block 100% of that specific style dealt by the monster. However when fighting a player you can only block 50% of that damage, but still decreasing the frequency and damage dealt significantly. I believe that Jagex thinks that a player in battle can take on the KQ with equivalency and have classified the KQ as a 'player', able to block damage but not 100% of it. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's just my theory ;) I have specced a 54 on the second form of the kq twice, i consistantly hit 40+ on her, with my Saradomin Godsword. Jagex stated a long time ago that she does not pray she just has abnormally high def and they put the prayer signs up as a warning.

On topic: Your the last person i expected to come back me up. Off topic: That Verve sig is sweet.

Read my post and see how stupid what your suggesting is. One does not simply walk into mordor.

Unknowingly walk your lvl 3 across troll mountain, past trollhiem, past 2 groups of thrower trolls, push a huge boulder, walk through blinding snow that damages you, then climb down a rope into a dungeon?.. #-o

it's was stated by jagex that the kalphite queen does not pray, but has immunity against those attacks. in the first form the shell bounces off any magic or ranging equipment and while flying, melee atacks can't hit her however these are not perfect, and work not all the time. you might hit the second form without veracs, but it is rare OT: I'm not exactly sure what to believe now...both theories have good and checked backgrounds :wall: the the mention about the curved edges is very obserbant of you.normally i see those kinds of thing, uhg Nah KQ just has massive defence, with a godsword you still smash her in either form.

Which doesn't answer the question; why the [bleep] weren't the prices set at something reasonable from the start? I mean, look at the dragon platebody, it was set at a relatively reasonable starting price, and it's buyable on the GE and as the "new itemness" of it wears off the price drops naturally. If I want to buy a pair of claws now for a fair 20m, why should I have to junk trade when Jagex could have set the damn thing up right in the first place? THE GE WORKS. When Jagex allows it to. It's not our problem, it's Jagex's, so honestly why should we lose more of the game to cover a supposedly "professional" company's [wagon]? And the fact that you couldn't answer a single part of my argument but to say "well just wait" only reinforces it. Thanks. I did not disagree about the claws, as a matter of fact im with you, and jagex needs to hire a team that has a clue about the rs economy (They should hire a team from high level in game players, no one knows the game better then its own players). But outside ge trades still need to be limited.

Poor people.

Then you were not risking enough, only time that happens is if your under the risk limit or you have killed the same person multiple times.

It took 0ddball about 1 and a half months to get 85 slayer, he cannoned everything.

Too bad.

As i said, its based off drop value, any pk over 25k is worth the same, so stop thinking, "hes wearing good stuff" and trying to pile him, and go kill that guy wearing half mithril half addy with the r2h. In the new system its quantity over quality, so start pking that way, kill as many people as you can in the shortest amount of time, if some one looks tough, pick a different target, the drops wont be any worse.

Pretty much, and yeah i couldn't think of where to post it lol.

Now, you just know that the rant is absolutely stupid when 123Yourgone starts making perfect sense... Needless to say, I'm going to agree with him here. Next time, read up on Revenants and figure out their strengths. Or be smart and have your friends bring Sprit Wolves with "Howl", eh? To answer your question, about why we can't choose what we keep on death: Imagine a place where if you died, you didn't lose your Partyhat or full set of Dragon. What the hell's the point in "dangerous" parts of the game if you can decide what you will or will not keep? Haven't you heard of a little risk? You missed me didnt you :D

Stop looking at what people wear as your rightful drop, look at the easier pks as viable options... and start looking at every one as a potential pk, You may not get 110m off that guy wearing ags bandos whip and dfs, but you might get 42 million from that guy 2 iteming with dds and dragon scim. So if you just stop thinking "OMFG i should have got" and start thinking "Who do i pk next?" Riches will come to you. Im up 57m from pking since the new system came out.

I doubt it. They nerfed the drop rate on dragon claws yet again. They're intended to be a highly sought after, pricey weapon. Sure, maybe in 3 years the price will drop to 350k. (and believe me, it's going to take that long, easily, unless something drastic changes.) If the GE works so well, why not set the starting price at something reasonable, like 30m, with 10% margins to accommodate new item unstableness for the first month or so, and let the system work? Just watch the prices drop as the demand does. After all, you should give the system a chance... Instead, they set the most unreasonable price on an item yet, and force everybody to either rip themselves off for a freakin' 16,000% loss, or higher, or junk trade and bypass the system, starting a vicious cycle that will take months to correct, if at all. So you are the only person who can determine "reasonable"? Some random price that only you find acceptable? Sorry, markets don't work like that, no matter how big you think you are. If I remember correctly, 3rd was mispriced the opposite way, undervalued on the ge, much like claws are now. I had a offer standing at max for a 3rd age mage top for over 2 months without a sale. If the GE is hurting anybody, it's hurting the new players that get lucky on a level 3 and get ripped off by prices that have been faulty since release almost a year ago. I don't like junk trading. It's a pain. Nobody that uses junk trading really likes it - but when even the most basic rules of supply and demand are stifled by unreasonable controls, you have to branch out into other methods. I don't see why people are so mentally disabled and insist on removing the symptom rather than fixing the problem. I mean seriously, when the "change oil" light comes on, it's time to tear out the warning light, right? Exactly. But seriously, would you sell your rare pair of dragon claws for 490k on the GE when it's worth easily over 50 times that, just to fix a mistake you had nothing to do with? Your argument would only hold weight if the prices started at something reasonable for a new, powerful weapon release, but they didn't, and this mess is what you get. If you don't want the 400k for the claws, hang on to them and wait, price rises every day because other people don't care about the low price.

Why you cant choose what items you lose on death is simple THE GAME IS ALREADY EASY!!! Why lose the tiny thin pathetic slither of risk that is left?, honestly the way you noobs act you would like to log in get 99 all stats and never die no matter what.

Psst. Rune c bow = 61 range. Dragon bolts = 61 range. Dragon bolts = hitting 60. I could go all technical on you and say you can max 150 with 46 range, but that doesn't apply to all monsters. Just throwing that out there, though. And if you get +20% on a flagholder's summon, range's max could be considered to be 180 with 46 range. What was that about melee again? You want to try a corporal beast with melee alone? Dragon bolts dont hit 60 at low range, i max 55 at 99 with 1 prayer.

Congratulations, just about every high demand item in the game just became untradable. No, people would have these items and want to sell them, they would HAVE to sell at ge price, regardless of what they think its worth. They can have a useless item they don't need, or sell at ge price, the ge will then adjust and rise or fall accordingly. Hence, the ge would actually work the way its men't to, items wouldn't be locked up any more, and high demand items would sell. The only reason they don't sell right now is greed, people know they can get more with junk and wont use ge, if this wasn't a possibility then the items would sell on ge.

The money i made off rs ran out so i came back to play >.>

The reason those items are the most expensive is BECAUSE you lose them on death, economics 101.

Hai, plaguefear here, make the pker into a 40 80 1 or 60 88-99 1 pker and pk in ears cause you can never lose them.

Your wrong, the pure will be able to use spec weapons and ko, the main wont, at worst the pure will get away.
