Much like others have already stated: it doesn't really stop 26king. What it does do is restore the Risk vs Reward ratio, which has been HORRIBLY out-of-whack ever since the release of 70+ attack equipment.

 

 

 

Mod Benny also made a very long article about the updates, which explains a few things and mentions this in particular:

 

 

 

However, we, as well as you, know that this wont put [26k'ing] to a complete stop, and we have more changes planned for the future. These require a bit more work, so it will take a little while, but it shouldnt have an as big of an impact on the PvP scene as a whole as the most recent changes have had.

At least there's no more rumors floating around that risking 75k instead of 26k produces better drops. They were quelled now. :thumbsup:

So... basically, you have to do 25k trick in a slightly safer place, and you need to risk an extra 50k.

 

 

 

Big deal.
