It should either be that you need to be in the courtyard to control it

or

You can control it from the same places as you can now, but the character your on must be RISKING at least 50k in alch value after the item they protect. Or something like this. So people can't just come on level 3's with nothing, or level 50s with nothing, or flat's accounts with just a r2h etc which they can protect. This would prevent trolling because evidently if someone doesn't want to fight for the hotspot and they only want to troll if they don't get their own way, they probably don't want to lose 50k+ a death either.

Reverting back to the old hotspot rotation is a BAD idea imo. We finally got Castle poppin' again and now the staff want to remove and take the focus away from Castle? I don't understand it.

Edit:

I personally like Recon's idea the best. This eliminates entirely the possibility of someone/multiple people being salty they aren't being invited to controlling part and them bringing multiple accounts to troll for it and it will just eliminate trolls of all types in general. Fight for it or else you won't get it, surely that's how it should be?

I like it the way it is. lol I normally have 6 accounts there so i can actually lvl.

those lvl 3s can't troll you if you've got accounts in all corners to kill the fuckers.

You're a lobotomized bonobo though

Doesn't count

-1 remove protect item from skull.

+1 to the value RISKING since people with a dragon axe and iron armor for example, will only be worth a few thousand when someone using a bow with rune plate, legs and helm (roughly around the same value total) is risking a lot more

Making the red skull negate protect item will effect people outside hotspots as well, risking is a better solution as it will fix the issue within the hotspots.

Hi, we are thinking of implementing new changes to hotspot and one of these changes will be that your party will not lose control unless they are killed or evicted.

Perfect!
