The unfortunate outcome of Pking

What do you guys think about the current state of pking VS how it used to be? I think it's
pretty sad these days to see a high amount of people just interested in rushing people, trying
for that quick KO for the +1 hoping it's unprotected, Pjers, safers, raggers, etc. There is so
much wrong with the current PvP and the toxic community that it makes it completely
unenjoyable in my opinion. Lunar help others, trolls, 150 Damage stacks, like the PvP portion
of this game has become almost completely RNG based + all the scripts and mouse keys for
item switches and what not, it has become completely out of whack, in my opinion.

I am speaking from experience, from 2006-2009 I was becoming a well known Pker, and
my fast mouse movements was the main thing that gave me an advantage. Mouse movement
and clicking in-game.

Not prodded accounts, botted heavy, mouse key switches, F-keys, ragging, trolling,
skull-tricking (smart though), luring, etc. Seems almost nobody
pk's these days legit, oh and let's not forget about the clients telling you
how much HP your opponent has etc.

 

Rushing has always been A big thing. I remember there being tonnes of dclaw rushers. The wild is meant to be literally that haha.

As for prodded accounts, back then we had soul wars, people could bot 99 all with like 70 hp. Was much bigger an issue then too

 

High level pking and deeper wild bridding are the only satisfactory methods of Pk these days in my opinion, unless you like to rush.

I do remember when it used to be a problem back then to, but back then you could also find lots of fights and deathmatches etc.

Yeah my problem with pking is that I don't have time to get good, and it seems everyone else ATM is insanely good whenever I try haha

 

I have a super OP near max 13 Pray Gmauler. I have learned how to Pk better than average but it’s still a horrible world out there.

 

The PKing community is toxic, what more can you expect

 

Deep wild PK is one of the only types of PK that has always, and will always be the better choice. If you're going into the deep wild, you're taking basically every risk that I've mentioned, clans, luring, getting ragged or pjed, etc - but in the deep wild, you're going into the most riskiest places and doing the most riskiest fights, willingly.


Basically, the deep wild is the deep wild.

If you try and fight in BH worlds, or PvP worlds, for the specific reason they are made (targets / fight anywhere) you'll be dealing with everything I mentioned, consistently and it sucks.

 

It looks like Jagex is paying attention and PvP should get some major improvements soon.
