Very original idea and no one has ever suggested it before but...

No

Thats not the way the game is supposed to be played. Think about what kind of hell would break loose if players started teleporting every 5 minutes? I mean can you even imagine? And it does not benefit skilling so there is no need for this update.

my argument is that for flats pking, which is mainly happening at castle and fort, the ones with 10-30 flats control the bank and the ones who have 2-3 flats each wont stand a chance, if they were able to bank as the ones with shitload of flats were (tele to lumby bank and go back) they could compete against them without needing so many accounts.

Of course, the problem isn't the home teleport timer in the first place, it's that it'll take people way too long to get those accounts needed to compete against the ones who have 100s, this would just make it a little easier for them.

Number of pkers have been going on and on about it being too hard to train the accounts needed for pking, anyone who says its not, can try and make 10 flats with a full time job and family, and get the supplies for the accounts and see how long it takes. That's only for flats, if you want to pk on other levels, it'll take ages. 200+ hours double subbed for flats, some people don't have the opportunity to afk on android aswell whilst they're trying to enjoy their life aswell. I just spoke with a bunch of old pkers last week trying to get them back to RSC, they said they would but they only have 1 flats each over here, or none, and no1 of them has the time to train and grind anymore, considering how long/much it takes. That's pretty much my argument lol, makes it easier for those guys. But i know nothing is being done about that because i've been ranting my ass off about it for 2 years and more and more people just quit and quit, wonder how long it takes till something is actually being done about it.

Interesting suggestion, but I don't think I see this happening, for a number of reasons.

For one, the home teleport is mainly added as a way to get out of places when you're stuck somewhere (generally not in wild). Lowering the cooldown too much would make some teleports nearly obsolete, since for example Lumbridge has both Mad Zeonk and Skipper, making it an easy place from which to move to other places, circumventing other teleports (Although I get that there's different scenarios and walking distances).

If your argument is that many low level pk builds have no magic levels I would say that's not necessary. If you really need a teleport below lvl 20 wilderness: We've had the option to create teleport tablets for nearly 1.5 years now, allowing anyone to teleport regardless of magic levels. You can create them by using law-runes on soft clay (or vice-versa), provided you have the rest of the required runes for the spell, and requirements to create them (Plague City and Watchtower quests in the case of resp. Ardougne and Yanille teleports). You can of course create these on an alt.

In addition, there's a bank chest at team fort and castle, a number of wilderness obelisks that can teleport you to lower levels of the wilderness, and the place wasn't really designed to be easy in-and-out and have bank chests everywhere. Rather, if you go into the wilderness, you need either rune runes or a tablet or walk the extra bit to get to safety (although that may not be a compelling argument on its own).

Maybe there's some other way to address this concern, other than lowering the home teleport spell?

shut up

See thats what I dont get. You say you know nothing is being done and then you say you wonder how long it takes till something is actually done. You already know the answer. Its not a coincidence player count has been decreasing despite a lot of updates for skillers.

It's sad seeing posts by mods showing how they don't understand the game at all. No wonder servers dying

Yeah, thats why mods opinions shouldnt really be considered when it comes to Pking related things, because they simply don't understand it, no offense. Just like vinkie proved above, i've seen so many good ideas that would have increased pking and player count shut down over the years just simply because mods/admins do not understand it, so they shut the idea down. Talk with pkers about wilderness updates/changes/how to bring pkers back, not along with the staff team who have no clue about it when it comes to PKING scene.. y'all can handle rest of the game..

If players comes with suggestions that would ONLY increase and tend to pking and doesnt affect the rest of the game just go with it
Dont apply it outside of wilderness

Mods doesnt have to shoot down everything that they dont see the need for, 5 mins is Still a little high in My oppinion

Good point about the wilderness only timer. My reply was aimed at the idea of the home teleport cooldown being lowered globally. A reduced timer for the wilderness doesn't sound all that bad, given the limited advantage outside of PKing.

If there was no delay at all there's still no negative. Standing still for agers to use is enough

just make rscr exactly how classic was that will bring players back (Y)

Home teleport limitations now area:
- 30 min. cool down for teleport outside Wilderness;
- 5 min. cool down for teleport inside Wilderness;
