Wilderness Changes and Bob Barter

[blazed you]

At the current moment, I play hard mode almost exclusively because it has the feel of a group ironman mode. It is a community in and of itself; everybody playing it has agreed to the challenging XP rates and thus a mutual bond is formed. It is not a solo mode, and that's a beautiful thing. If you want to succeed you have to ask for help, there is a huge sense of teamwork and agreeableness and very little (if any at all) price manipulation or backstabbing. When shit gets this hard there is no time to be a dick. Our economy is near perfect, with so few maxed hard players there isn't a large influx of endgame items, getting a drop truly feels like an accomplishment- by opening the gates to trading with accounts who can max in a day you would single-handedly destroy that balance. I don't want mystery box spoils in the economy, I don't want blood money shop items in the economy. I put up with the high xp rates because the hard mode community and economy is worth it- if you let us trade with normal modes, hard mode will become a mode purely for the torturous xp grind and nothing else. Please reconsider.

Disagree with this. In my experience playing Hard Mode the majority of the time I've spent is as an Ironman with harder exp rates. The only real items being actively traded amongst hard mode players are supplies and less rare drops like barrows/whips (and even then you have to ask in cc because GE is empty).The bigger boss items are not traded frequently, so you end up spending most of your as if you're an Ironman collecting all the items yourself.

The main game mode is dead and needs help. Having a split economy mode was just a temporary band-aid for those asking for a server reset. Besides, Group Ironman is being added to Oldschool Runescape in the near future. When Group Ironman comes to Oldschool Runescape it will also be released on Battlescape.

I can understand why people want to play with the target system off so why not give people an incentive to opt In to the target system e.g. reduce drop rates in Wildy if you have opted out, or at least make an alternative method to get some items e.g. infinity, I'm going to get ragged every 2 mins trying to get infinity boots now, I honestly wont go into the wild now as I cant compete in terms of gear with some of the pkers out there now who will be constantly teleporting to targets and attacking us, i know its part of the wilderness but its an essential part of the game for many players especially irons will now be off limits to us, so now there will be less people in the wilderness just being constantly attacked, pkers know where all the wildy hotpots are and its not exactly hard to scout these out on a rsps

Make it so opt in or out will cost 50k blood money as example. So whether you want to disable or enable it, you need to pay everytime.

I agree with this, but would like it to be at least 100k+ blood money. Five wilderness task with the looming threat of your target would certainly give you an appreciation for opting out.

Of course it's possible, but Iron Vik is right, you're going to get pk'd. It's the wilderness.
