Have an actual poll about the status of the wilderness and PKing (will poll)

Suggestion

(note: this is a repost but with a poll implemented)

With all the effort Jagex is putting is putting into trying to revive the wilderness and adjustment/rebalancing for pker, they should do and poll asking the player base directly how many people actually want to do or keep pking in the wilderness. as of now they only tried to poll aspects about pking, instead of actually asking the player base if it's something they really want. As shown with countless mmos (including osrs with dead man mode and all the complaints with how the wilderness is dead) player killing systems where players lose there equipment to opponents generally pleases a very small portion on the playerbase. As such, jagex should just officially asking the community out right - how many of you want to actually want the legacy pk system or do many of you want it changed?

For this poll the first question should be: should we keep the pk system of the wilderness or should dramatic changes to the wilderness be done.

Second multiple choice question would then asking "if #1 passes, what change should be done to the player killing system" with a variety of options such as:

  • designate world into safe worlds where player killing is not enabled, and pking worlds where actions in the wilderness have accelerated xp/loot tables
  • create lines of equipment that is comparable to dragon armor/blessed dragonhide/etc that only be equipped in the wilderness (like dark crabs), but cannot be changed in combat and prevents initiating combat if the opponent is not skulled, but will not be lost on death
  • equipment brought to the wilderness will not be dropped, but will give the opponents points for a wilderness shop for unique high ranked UNTRADABLE equipment/items
  • have wilderness bosses/combat achievements be doable in areas that are safe from pking

Please let me know your thoughts for this, as well as any suggestions for the second question

​

ammendum: please note the first poll answer is meant to be: "keep the current pk system of the wilderness" - so if you want to keep the wildy as is, click the first one instead of other - sorry about that

So on the designated worlds where pking is disabled, entering the wilderness is disabled as well right?

the trade off is that the drop and/or exp rates are lower than on the pking worlds, so the incentive for pvmers to go to pk worlds is that that they will get faster xp and better drops.

I'm not that poster, but maybe a tanking minigame where people can practice how to tank?

2/4 of the alternatives are untenable, obviously.

Putting wildy bosses into safe spaces just removes wildy content, no pker really cares about this, I guess only iron men care about that? But sure if that'll stop people whining.

For the alternative armour that doesn't drop on death: if you're unskulled, you already have 3 BIS items that don't drop on death. You already have dinhs bulwark. If someone has a dinhs I can't really kill them 99% of the time.

That said, these 2 are the least terrible options you described if we can't just keep things how they are. But to be honest I think all these alternatives aren't that interesting.

Increase wildy rewards perhaps, to compensate reward/risk

oops i made a type when carrying over the poll - the first option is supposed to be "keep the pk system of the wilderness"
