walka92 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Okay, so I've been reading lost of posts and such about the 26k trick, and since I never set foot on a PvP world (my stats are horrible for pking) the basic idea behind 26k'ing is that you stand around for 2 hours, hook up with somebody to have an arranged killing and then hoping to get a good drop? Sorry if that question seems noobish :oops: but I just can't imagine anyone doing that... thats the basics of it, and it yeilds very good drops I'm gonna be walking down an alley in varrock, and walka is going to walk up to me in a trench coat and say "psst.. hey man, wanna buy some sara brew"walka92- retired with 99 in attack, strength, defence, health, magic, ranged, prayer and herblore and 137 combat. some day i may return to claim 138 combat, but alas, that time has not yet come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Kurity Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 It seems to yield good drops for high levels, ive yet to see a level 60< get a good drop in the new system. O.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't bring up that all you have to do is sit around, because I find it more beneficial to train agility while gaining ep then sitting around. If people want to spend 2 hours staring at their computer screen, then let them. And afking has risk as today I speced out a person who was bolting. After 5 minutes of combat, they're free game.

hihihi727 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I spent 5 hours and 100k getting 100% EP only to get a Zamorak Icon worth 100k!!! And brawling gloves (melee), although i'm too scared to use them. How do some people earn MILLIONS AN HOUR???? From what i've seen so far, it doesn't really have to be nerfed...

Combat level matters for one. Also it should only be two hours for 100% EP not five. Melee brawlers can be used 4 iteming at axe hut and if you get attacked pray item and you lose some food maybe.

n64jive Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hotzones should be only areas where people constantly pks. I think that makes the problem worse...more people will be doing the 4 item sit with dragon spear if you were forced to stand next to the heat of battle. I see no problem gaining EP from meleeing at hobs in wild... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firecat318 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Even if you must earn XP while getting EP, couldn't you just sit at level 1 and alch? Thats what I do anyways.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexek Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 So why not have it that you only can gain a maximum of what your opponent loses, and then just put a cap on what the maximum gained can be? Would it be possible to then throw in the odd rare drop that is worth more than the maximum? I really don't see how fixing this is complicated (although, that's coming up with an idea, not the coding). :lol: PoetryIndexed Picture 1Indexed Picture 2 Killed my maxed Zerker pure April 2010 Rebooting Runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could kill a guy for claws and not get crap(which still happens now, which is why they need to FIX it...not nerf it) I'd personally be satisfied with something like 300k/hr pking. Add in that you only lose a certain percentage of your EP based on how close your drop was compared to what your opponent lost.

Zepheras Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Just limit the possible droplist of artefacts, based on the risked wealth of your kill. 26k, up to the 100k artefact 50k, up to the 200k artefact 1million, up to the 5million artefact Even if it's not the perfect solution, it's better than having EVERYONE possibly get a Zaros Statuette just by risking 26k, isn't it? :| "Do you really want to go back to the time when Falador was grey, lesser demon look like goats, dragons look like cows, hellhound look like cats and your character stands as stiff as a statue?" -F1775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brunokiller Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I guess it wouldn't be really that hard to program somethign that detects if when someone dies 5 times to the same person in 10 minutes and only loses 26k cash every time. My blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided that is just a possible drop list and not a 100% sure one, I think it would discourage RWT as well.

If I risk 26k and I gain 2m, or if I risk 1m and I gain 5m...see what I'm saying.. Also, I think as of now, the lower level you are, the lower your chance of gaining a zaros statue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunokiller Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 You must also remember Rwt may not return, they could probably already use BH to transfer stuff now, but no one is stupid enough to do so when they can just 26k. Not like it's that hard to rwt with other methodes though. My blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like it's that hard to rwt with other methodes though. 26king takes hours to get the value of gold people were RWTing at. People would buy 100m+...100 hours of 26king at my average...26king isn't a replacement for rwt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great_one Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 easiest way to nerf the 26k trick. make it so if you kill the same person within a certain time(hours, probably 4 hours) then you will get no drop after the first kill. Problem mostly solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
