76king fixed

As many of you know, since the opening of PvP Worlds, ‘76k’ing has become a very common practice. We’ve never been happy about this as we believe it spoils the game experience for players who want to play on PvP Worlds as intended and exhibit their PvP skills, with high rewards for high risks, rather than it being a safe method for earning large amounts of money. Looking at our forums, it looks like many players feel the same way.

Designing and developing a solution to this issue that worked, but which did not lessen the rewards for legitimate kills, turned out to be rather tricky. We’re hopeful that the solution we’ve come up with will reduce 76King without having too significant an impact on legitimate PKers.

Players who trade kills will find that the drop they receive is lessened in value. Legitimate PKers might find that some of their kills will result in smaller drops (e.g. when getting revenge on someone who has just killed you), but since you’ll still only lose as much Earning Potential as is used for the drop, your average drop will stay the same.

Fun while it lasted lol

 

it isn't fixed... It will only make it a bit more annoying for 76kers now... They can still 76k.. just not with the same person.. I'm guessing clans like this would start up and people will switch around.

It affects legit players though

 

Yes, as 17ark stated, this is a wonderful update. The value of gp will rise and RS might be taken out of the pitiful economic state it withers in currently.

 

Does that mean my whips will drop

 

Not really, like someone already said, clans will probably be started. Players will be hopping around each other because there's always enough "different" people you can do it with.

76king will stay, sorry to say.

 

A major example is the famous Italianhoti1.

 

This is the THIRD post about this...

 

Who cares.

What bothers me the most about this update is legit pkers will be getting less valuable drops.. Although you'll lose less EP per kill you will have to fight more to get the same amount of drops you would get before the update.

 

Well you still get good drops just not if you go and pk the same guy again. Legit pkers don't need to worry because they don't kill the same guy 5 times in a raw most of the time.

 

As you stated, clans will start up and have groups of 76kers.

 

ItalianHoti1's cc just told me how to
You need 3 people
A Kills B
B Kills C
C Kills A

 

And so goes the economy with this update...

 

Its not done yet , but when they will do it there is any point to stay in bh for like 2 hours to get ep 100% , and also whips and other things will go doen cause there wont be many ppl that will buy them.

 

And hence, money cant be made from here anymore, except legitimate pking.
