RC PKing Destroyed?

[Pikemaster25]

Yes..basically. Those LAME "pkers" will finally move on to real pking and leave those poor RC'ers alone. But I doubt that RC'ers will actually waste some of their profits on a bracelet that lasts 5 trips, and costs 5-10K. RIP. :notalk:

[12pure34]

With the release of the Diamond Bracelet, enchanting it will make you never skull in the abyss for 5 trips. Now, any crafter can afford to buy all these, letting them take a glory SAFELY into the abyss, for this, I fear RC PKing has been destroyed completely, unless you like to waste skills for a helmet or some essence.

 

 

 

Prevents wearer from being skulled when entering the Abyss. Player still suffers from Prayer drain.

Discuss the effects and repercussions of this update, will prices go down as crafting is less deadly, making more crafters, more runes? Like I said, discuss here.

 

 

 

And why are you complaining :

 

Really, do you think everyone will waste a diamond worth 3k ea, for every 5 trips they will make? Bothering getting the diamonds, making the braces and echanting them?

 

 

 

You are talking rubish. But even if so? Who cares \

For these bracelets to be useful; they would need to protect prayer; as well as the essence pouches

[Rebdragon]

RC Pk'ing is not meant to die. Though if enough morons who can't handle a "pathetic cowardly jerk" use this, it could be a problem. Well, until the diamond mines run dry, anyways.

 

 

 

This problem is going to solve itself though. If using the new item doesn't become popular, little will change. If it does become popular though, diamonds will rise in price. Then rising prices will drop the usage of the item back down, and back up and down until equilibrium is attained. Either way, I estimate a little less RC Pking in the future, but not that much of a difference.

ive only gotten pked twice and people have tried to pk me countless times, most rc pkers arent successful in my opinion, so i dount many rcers are going to use those bracelets

[Aneron]

aww... the poor little rc pkers....

 

 

 

Seriously, I doubt that any serious rcers are going to use the bracelet. 1 glory=60k~8 trips (using pouches up to large). I have crafted over 20k natures, and never once been PKed. It's a sign of how sad rc pkers are that they will spend hours for a pitiful amulet of glory that is very likely to actually come.

[Atroxide]

erkid"]Lol, it's sad to see more people spend on these bracelets so they don't get pked and lose a glory. While they pay more than it would cost to lose it. Doesn't make sense that a bracelet lasts for around 200 natures and costs them 5k. So after 1k nats they lose 25k. Half of the price of a glory and you usually don't get pked that often.

 

I use them just so if i get pked then the pker gets NOTHING valuable, I would rather waste money to do this then to give a rc-pker a glory...

 

 

 

 

 

The guy above me was saying how they spend a long time to get a glory..

 

 

 

thats a really great point, why the heck don't they just rc with us? more money for them and we don't have to worry about pkers

[HeliosG]

I can't decide whether the bracelet is useless or not for RC because

 

 

 

Against

 

a) I've been attacked many times at the abyss but only been killed thrice since it came out (and I'm 71 RC)

 

B) I always drop the glory on the ground before the final blow and then rush back to pick it up

 

c) cost and different charge cycle to the glory

 

 

 

For

 

a) save some of my pouches if I die - I'm not really worried about the glory I have loads and can make my own if need be - the pouches take time to get back.

 

 

 

On balance - prolly not.

[CampbellMC]

Today I got really bored and pked an Rc'er and no one out there was wearing a abyssal bracelet... I gave the stuff back to the rcer btw.

Well, to be fair, you have to factor in the dhide that a lot of people use. But even then, that's just 100k, so after 4k nats made with those bracelets you loose the same amount you would if you got pkd.

 

 

 

And I've been pkd umm... twice? And I'm almost 78 runecrafting :lol:

 

 

 

If the glory is really that important to you, carry a one dose prayer pot and drink in case you get into a pinch. It will cost a lot less in the long run.

Somehow I expected you to post :D

[Ghost-Knigth]

Waste of money buying diamonds for those bracelets I my opinion.

[speedofsound]

It seems ol' Jagex has a soft spot for RCers'. Does this destroy pking? To some yes, but to many, no! Pking is more than just killing someone trying to train a skill. Its about going head to head with someone who actually fights back, to cheer in victory, or be saddened in defeat. It's no fun when the other person has no inttention of fighting back, it's a bit like murdur.

[Jimmyh7]

I fear RC PKing has been destroyed completely.

 

 

 

Omg noooooo.... -.-

[Voldmort0]

Its good. Those sad players who don't know how to PK finally get what they deserve.

[Achilleus]

I personally think rc pkers ..kill rcers out of annoyance rather than wanting a glory and mabye a few pieces of black d hide...so even if they do stop you from being skulled.....i still think they will kill them just for fun

[highlanders]

It's a good thing. The rc pkers will stop wasting their time \

[dudeonthenet]

I use diamond braclets so I don't loose my pouches, they are a pain to get back :evil: .

[Solidus_77]

How many diamonds did you buy to get the bracelets?

[Peronix]

I use diamond braclets so I don't loose my pouches, they are a pain to get back :evil: .

 

 

 

If you die you will still loose your pouches. Not being skulled means you keep your three best items, not everything.

 

 

 

In case you get into a pinch with a RC Pker, drop your pouches. Then glory tele to edge and pick your stuff back up. Bring telegrabs/teles/mage protection as some of the PKers just LOVE to waste more runes killing you again when you come back for your non-tradables... :roll:

[x_bow80]

I dont think that alot of people will really pay a lot of money for the things.... Its not worth it for only 5 runs. If it was like 25 - 35 charges... That would be different.

[Bauke]

PK'ing is not destroyed. Player slaughtering on the other hand, might be deminished by this update. Killing RC'ers is nothing compared to real PK'ing. It's like killing a bunny and saying you fought an evil demon.

[supanova]

at the current time i do not train rc, and i do not use the abyss.

 

 

 

however, i dont't see the point in attacking (normally) defenceless people for an item worth 60k. it's just a waste of time IMO

[forsooth]

I fear RC PKing has been destroyed completely, unless you like to waste skills for a helmet or some essence.

 

 

 

 

Sorry why is this a bad thing that people who don't know how to pk can't pker the un defended?

[CloudSeller]

Now I have to admit I don't do a lot of RCing, but most of what I do do is via the abyss. I don't take a glory, I take a duelling ring - for me the few seconds extra banking in castle wars & grabbing my glory is well worth the pleasure of knowing that if I were pked, the best they'd get is a duelling ring :mrgreen: .
