I'm actually interested to see if group focused pking becomes popular, seeing as to how I am more interested in mining and smithing I feel that these skills would come in handy should I join one of these pking groups.

 

 

 

This would mean that I can build a strong bond with a group of friends and supply them with gear for battle that is easily replaceable for a heavily subsidised cost (I focus on skilling and not earning money, so I mine and smith everything myself).

 

 

 

Of course, this all depends on whether pking clans for bounty hunter and the dual arena become popular, that way I'll actually have a practical use and a good reason for levelling up my manafacturing skills.

How will you supply armour and weapons for your friends come January? You won't.

 

 

 

Please note that I stated "heavily subsidised". I do understand that the restrictions with personal trade have been limited to a max of a three thousand gold piece defecit to an individual player every fifteen minutes.

 

 

 

Seeing that I work with Mithril (And am working towards Adamantite), I can offer my comrades three thousand gold pieces off the lowest market value according to the grand exchange for a full set (Mithril or Adamantium mostly) or subsidies can be adjusted according to individual pieces and the the type of metal used.

 

 

 

I did say I was working for skill and not profit. Of course, that would mean I would have to stock up on a large amount of metal working resources which I am currently working on.

 

 

 

Thanks for pointing that out anyway. :wink:

nothing much more to do in p2p really unless u hardcore skill/quest

I don't pk. But wilderness is pretty screwy now. I don't like level 105 ghosts teleblocking me and shooting 23's with ice dart at me. That's on 77 magic and 82 defense.

 

 

 

Before, I would train at ice plateau and hobgoblins and lava... guess I'll go fight for spiders with the newbs in Stronghold 3. Boring.

 

 

 

Though very glad that yewbies have decreased significantly. Maybe I'll start wcing again.

 

 

 

For those who haven't seen the ghosts.

I'd like to point out statistics from a poll run on Jagex's main page:

 

 

 

Only 12% of players PKed recently.

 

 

 

Only 18% of players planned on PKing within the next month.

 

 

 

Your claim of 90% people focused on PKing? If they're not PKing, they're doing something that makes them better at it? It's a lie.

 

 

 

Next time, back up your opinions with valuable statistics. Otherwise it's just a rant, and there is an entire forum for them.

 

 

 

agreed, TC has as much mathmatical knowledge as a russian bordello girl that never recieved an education due to her "job".

 

 

 

Appearantly you don't qualify as a great mathmatical genius either.

 

 

 

Total Number of Votes: 73816

 

12% (8934 votes)

 

 

 

18% (13576 votes) was planning to do player killing later on.

 

I dont think that those 74k votes represent the over one million players that play runescape. Yes, lots of people pk, but they asked what people did in the last session. If there was a poll asking what you did mostly last week, Im sure player killing would be more then 20%.

 

 

 

But yes, I doubt that 90% of the people focussed on pking. No way it can be that high.

 

 

 

 

 

Ill probably revert to f2p and do some cabbage picking with my friends and maybe some bhing. Members just doesnt seem worth it anymore.

Wow, those ghost things look big. I woulda thought more f2pers would take up the challenge of killing them as we don't really have any high levels. But the drops need sorting out your right.

 

And the duel arena is fun, even if it isnt profitable. In my opinion f2p has it as good as it ever did.

 

 

 

90% of players aren't pkers :roll:

75% of players are low-leveled and running around doing quests and skills and asking for free stuff.

Can you even fight people in willdy?

 

cos when i was there no1 was there to attack :wall:

So, if you are f2p, what will you do? Nothing much is left to do on F2P. Converting to p2p won't give you many other things to do (except new skills, items, and minigames but overall, 90% of players, skill to make money for pking supplies, obtain items to train & be better at pking, and play minigames to release the stress from pking) either.

 

 

 

There's plenty left to do in f2p; I seriously doubt that 90% of players are that focused on pking. If anything, 90% of players are focused on earning gp.

 

As for me, as an f2per, I'm going to keep doing what I've been doing: skilling. Only now, it'll be so much easier without random pkers attacking me every few minutes, and those wuss revenants are hardly threatening. Or, if there are some that are, I haven't encountered them yet. But, at least they're still easier to identify as a threat than the lying pkers who said "Peace" then attacked as soon as my inventory was worth their effort.

 

So yeah, this actually made my life as an f2per easier.

 

 

 

the higher level ones will make you eat your words... :-#

There's no point in joining clans now. wildy is dead. :twisted:

 

here's one of my favorite things to do.

 

 

 

F2p:

 

1. Mining at hob. revenant attacked me every [*beep*] times. :wall:

 

2. Dual arena is the bomb. don't see any lvl's 120s though.

 

3. Clan wars.

 

 

 

when i don't do mining, i dual about 2-3 hours. \

People who PLAYED Free-to-play and KNEW they weren't going to get pay-to-play ANYTIME SOON all pked. F2P skillers (most) skill until they get p2p or skill because they enjoy it but those are VERY few and I'm seeing there is a high concentration of f2p skillers on Tip.it :-X

 

 

 

And like I said.. people who knew they were stuck on f2p forever and their only reward for training was pking, pked. and these were the 90% of ACTIVE F2P PLAYERS. Those other f2p players were:

 

 

 

- New players who later converted to p2p after lvl 60 (or sometimes 70s)

 

- Players who were f2p for a short period of time till they got p2p back

 

- "Stuck" f2p skillers, wont be p2p in a long time.

 

 

 

So yes, I'm right. THE 90% OF PEOPLE WHO PLAYED F2P, PKED.

right now im skilling until i get members, happy that there are no macros at the yews anymore :D hope that the wild is put back but they put that same restictions as they do for bounty hunter, like no entering with cash ect.

I still think that statistic is bs, I was a f2per for 2 years, and my primary activity definitely was not pking, as can many other "pure" f2pers on these forums

I'll keep skilling.

I'm going to take a break because I'll be out of the country for a while. But before I go I'm going to train summoning.

I will do same thing I always did; train my skills. I will love to chop yews with no bots around. Also, I enjoy the duel arena.

 

 

 

I have not pked in years anyways... :

I'm in those 10%.

 

Proud of never have pked anyone, although some people have said i had the stats for it :roll:

For those who haven't seen the ghosts.

 

Yea.. I loved to train in the Wild.. I was always training at Ice Plateau. because if anyone came to disrupt my training, I would kill them.. ^-^

I'm going to hang around for another month. If merching really does die, bounty hunter remainds unimproved, and a semblance of the old wilderness is not brought back, I will leave for good. I will likely establish something to give you all my items.

 

 

 

The only item I will keep, should I choose to return one day, is a single rune pickaxe...

 

 

 

For if I need to start again.

Rubbish! Plenty of free players skill, there's still plenty of things to do on the free version of the game. Both the duel arena and bounty hunter allow people to kill each other (which is still technically Player Killing). As for the fact that 90% of F2P did PK? I think it was more like 9%.

Based on the tone of your post, you're implying that Bounty Hunters and the Duel Arena are collectively an adequate substitute for the Wilderness. Have you ever actually gone PKing? And known what you were doing? Gotten a kill?

My post did not imply that it was an adequate substitute for the wilderness. I was mere saying that the facts were a bit biased on the first page, I doubt very much that the author took the time to think of the post properly, more made facts up on the spot. Yes, I have been pking (on another to the accoun than the one I use now) and gotten a kill, and I think removing the ability to attack other people is...well...a bit too much like giving in to the traders. I was merely pointing out that Player killing doesn't necessary have to be fighting in the wilderness, and that there are many things to do in F2P other than fights in the wilderness.

nothing has changed for f2p really, everyone in the wild could only make 50k at a time no different from bounty hunter, plus now they know what duel arena feels like

Sure, because your 9% value is the most correct fact in all this thread...

 

 

 

I would say that arround 74% of the F2P have PK'd at least one time, while 36% PK'd a lot for proffit or for plain fun.

 

 

 

I liked the way of hanging arround with friends searching for a single victim that does not teleport, now the PK is not the same, you can't solo PK anymore, since the Bounty Hunter is full of teams.

 

 

 

I will just wait because a JaGex Mod I've talk to, told me that he "will write down" my suggestion to make Bounty Hunter caves without multi-combat.

The funny thing is... I actually started "pking" after a 1 year absence (last time I pked was at lvl 55, hated it)

 

 

 

I actually like killing the Revenants, seeing that they are a bigger pain to kill then actual pkers, and a nice safe duel can happen if f2p.

 

 

 

I am one of the rare jewels who actually got something quite good out of this thing :-s

kill...
