Me and my team of like 8 skillers are now entering wild more often to learn pking. So new people are pking. I think the fact that you have to work for your own supplies and support yourself is what makes RS unique. Other games have pvp where you just jump in without consumables but in the end it is not always meaningful when you get a valuable kill. If you are struggling to get supplies then take over fort and invite skillers friends to farm it. Ask for a cut of the swordfish or something. And leveling as 11x faster and super afk is already fast as shit.
Works for 1 account, but then again if you want to stand a chance and pk actively you'll need dozens. and leveling 11x faster is nowhere fast as shit (yes its faster than what RSC use to be but people are now in their mid 20s/30s) For some people it might seem like it is, but try to train a list to pk with, it'll take you months. With 11x it'll take 300-400 hours atleast for flats, and that's just for 1 account, some people don't have 10 hours time to play each day, they'll get 1-2hours every night and wish to pk and enjoy the game as they used to, they'd have to train a year to be able to do that, so they just choose not to. Gladly, i've never had to farm for gear or train accounts myself here.. The pking scene is a dying breed, 4 of the most active teams has quit in the past year or so, those people are the ones who kept pking alive past 12 years in every server, mainly because they're tired of grinding all over again all the time. The rest of the people who use to PK won't even login because they just want to pk meh
You do have a point. If you want to pk solo, it is hard because you will just get teamed or pjed when picking up your loot. I have to build up a team myself to compete with people who won't honor 1v1. In fact, I had to bring a low level alt to attack a sword who brought 2 pf his own flats to kill me, a lvl 90 flats with addy. I only got away because my second naked account attacked his alt. The solution the server proposes is to play in 1v1. However, that area only has trainers and slayers. We should try and pk there more but the truth is that people naturally want to pk in West wild due to edge. I honestly don't know a good fix for this and 1ip or 1v1 all wild isn't the solution either.
And yes maybe you are right. Training 1 or 2 accounts is not so bad but if you have more it might suck.
