Sy_Accursed Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Pking, Its what Runescape used to be. Discuss. Believe it or not, this statement is fairly accurate. The whole economy centered around PKing, because PKing is a thing called money drain. Skillers made products, Pkers bought them, used them, made some money, and bought more things from Skillers. It was a great balance. Just because you didn't (and still don't) Pk doesn't mean that it didn't effect your gameplay. I think you're part right and part wrong. Initially back in the RSC days your statement is totally true But before pking disappeared so many boss monsters etc emerged that the combat pure type player emerged and in the same way as a pker bought in alot of supplies. Pking, f2p pking is definitely a boost to things such as rune armour str ammys etc. But KQ, KBD, Corp beats, DK GWD etc have all stripped away or equalled the economic function old style pking had Operation Gold Sparkles :: Chompy Kills :: Full Profound :: Champions :: Barbarian Notes :: Champions Tackle Box :: MA RewardsDragonkin Journals :: Ports Stories :: Elder Chronicles :: Boss Slayer :: Penance King :: Kal'gerion Titles :: Gold Statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walka92 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Pking, Its what Runescape used to be, i hate ignorant statements like this. Pking is and always has been, one single aspect of runescape. People who think that it's ever been what runescape is all about infuriate me. fffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111 you realise you infuriate alot of people yourself, right? pking was, to alot of people, the only reason to play it, because they like the pvp aspect. its more challenging, dangerous and fun to most people. ALOT of people i knew only played to pk, and mainly trained ONLY with pking, because its all they liked to do. its those people who "infuriate" you, but they are only sad to have lost the only thing they liked in the game, and to many of them, bh and pvp worlds simply arent the same, and i agree with them. im guessing the Medead0 is one of those people aswell, and pking is what runescape used to be to him. tl;dr: your an [wagon], and hate people for liking the old pking I never said I had a problem with PKers, just PKers who think that that's all runescape is/was about. PKing is one small aspect of a hugely diverse game. What bothers me isn't that people's favorite activity might be to pk, it's that they consider the game to be ruined in some way because of the changes made to the PKing system. Like a few people have already said, a lot more people prefer doing things other than fighting other players, and those that were solely PKers are in the vast minority. I take pride in infuriating people by the way, it's quite enjoyable. they considered the game to be ruined, to them, because pking was the only thing they enjoyed, and as there is a right to free speech in most first world nations, they are allowed to express that. and if you really do enjoy infuriating people, your a useless troll and should be banned In case you hadn't noticed, I contributed to a discussion about PKing, by posting MY OPINION which as you just said, I have the freedom to express. Also it has been seconded by multiple people. Yet i'm the only one you seem to take offense towards. Sorry friend but you're either just trying to start a flame war with me or you're the one trolling.i was merely expressing the fact that your an [wagon], and explaning why. everyone has an opinion but some of them, really, suck.

Anyway your last post made it seem more as if being able to PK better was what the rest of the game was for. That idea has never and will never be true.
