Profitable PKing - No RWT

[STR4DWIN]

Hey :D

 

 

 

I recently got to thinking about the removal of profit from pking in order to ensure the end of RWT. What Jagex seem not to realise is that we can have fun, profitable PKing without RWT. This is what I propose:

 

 

 

Jagex makes an area where people can put in `Fight Offers`

 

They could set rules like in DA, but with less rules available. I suggest:

 

 

 

Ability to turn off any of the three combat styles.

 

Ability to turn off Prayer and Summoning.

 

Ability to turn off Special Attacks.

 

Ability to turn off Armour ( All Armour As One )

 

Movement off/on.

 

 

 

These are the essential rules needed in a fight. In addition to these there would be:

 

 

 

Level restrictions. You will set a max combat level and not fight anyone higher than that level. However, the max level can not be lower than your combat level.

 

 

 

Loot restrictions - You will set a minimium Loot Value that could not be higher than yours, based on the G.E value of items.

 

 

 

Then you would enter all this information and it would find you a fight as soon as possible. There would be no running, so whoever you end up with you have to fight. This would ensure you can't RWT. Then you would both fight to the death. Then the winner would be given two minutes to collect their loot and leave. There would also only be one world for you to do this on, or the game could automatically make you hop to the same world. With all this there is no possible way to RWT, but it is possible to earn money from PKing once again.

 

 

 

I know this is rather similiar to Duel Tournaments, but the main difference is that it's single combat.

 

 

 

I don't think there are any flaws in my plan, but if there are feel free to tell me, or post any constructive criticism. If you wish to support say so on one of your threads and I will add you to the support list. Please try and get Mods to read this as this could have a big impact on runescape Thanks :D

So it's like a Dueling GE? That's quite good. :o In fact, this should be incorporated with the Duel Arena building.

 

 

 

The only thing I would say is get rid of these options:

 

 

 

Ability to turn off any of the three combat styles.

 

Ability to turn off Prayer.

 

Ability to turn off Special Attacks.

 

Ability to turn off Armour ( All Armour As One )

 

Movement off/on.

 

And replace it with single/multi-combat (i.e. Summoning on/off), because firstly that was the only option in that list that PKers had in the Wildy years, and secondly, too many options may make it possible for people to purposely pair up. :-k

 

 

 

Other than that, it's a stable yet profitable suggestion. Sweet, I support! =D> :thumbsup:

I'll support this in the same fashion as will_holmes does... I think he's basically got it pinned down as to the rest of what I would say. \

Yeah this is pretty good. I support.

I think this could work. As long as there are only a few worlds. If there are too many worlds it would be easy to rwt. Also add that you can't bring rares, and non-combat related items into the fight (EG: Coins).

Agreed.

 

:idea: I know! How about putting them in the pvp worlds, but making the duel arena a safe area?

[The_Gabe]

What?! You can't run?! That's not really ehh...

[Will H]

What?! You can't run?! That's not really ehh...

 

Am I sensing a teeny bit of cowardice? Just kidding. ;)

 

 

 

This part of the suggestion is pretty much vital, or there should at least be severe penalties and restrictions so you can't repeatedly run until you duel the opponent you want.

Inventory Restrictions too pl0x - X spots for food etc

Bad idea... That kind of option would make it too easy for an RWT'er to set up a rigged duel. :shame:

I could tel you were a pure even before I looked at your username. How?

 

 

 

-DA style rules: Right, just what we need to stop RWT'ing: make it even easier for them to find each other because you don't like prayer, or summoning. Here's a flaw: Set up a match, only magic, no summoning, yes prayer, yes special attacks, no armor, yes movement, no potions, yes food. How many people do you think will fit into that category of random options? Not many, probably none.

 

-Level Restrictions: As a level 50-odd with 73 strength, you're hardly one to talk about fairness between combat levels.

 

-Minimum loot value: how about that just becomes automatic based on what you're carrying?

 

 

 

This idea doesn't make it harder to RWT, it makes it easier by allowing RWT'ers to specifically find and fight their customers without any chance at all of someone else intervening (Not that the Bounty Hunter pkers cba to do it)

I fixed some of those problems in a previous post. :

[n00bfiterpk6]

i was actually thinking about something like this quite a while before i read this post.

 

 

 

but as said previously rwters would be able to find eachother quite easily.

 

 

 

I think this would be great, but make it that u dont get to choose the lvls you fight, and are automatically put up agist people +/- 5 combat of yourself. Also summoning should just automatically be banned (as this is single combat) and maybe even match people according to your combat level with out summoning. Pray and specs will always be on.

 

 

 

The only option you should have is armour on/off as i find that fighting with armour off is alot more fun.

 

 

 

With only 1 world which you could do this on, with only one option.. the chances of rwt working would be very small.

Way to easy for RWTers to find each other - set up a fight that few people would do, IE - Max combat level - exact level or RWTer, prearranged rules that would (Magic only duel, no food, potions, no prayer, summoning on, no movement, no armor, no special attacks, minimum loot restrictions of the max amount the player receiving the cash has - he can bring everything, because he knows he will be paired up with the RWTer) It'd be as easy as the old wildy for RWTers - they wouldn't have to worry about someone else taking them out. The chances of matching up with someone else with those rules are very, very slim, and even then you could easily take care of them - bring all the GP you have in runes and cast your best blood spell on them. 50/50 chance of winning, so no one would try and fight under those rules - and RWT would have no problems.
