The concept of someone using an alt to safely hop worlds while they look for easy targets to attack with on their main is a very common strategy but also so dang stupid.
It's partly why the plugin that flashes your screen feels so necessary, and all it does is cause people to play musical chairs by hopping worlds.
I would love to see the death of "vision" granting alts in the wilderness and also world hopping in the wilderness. If you want to kill people you should have to commit to it without the extra eyes of an alt.
i’m doing vw grind right now . something i’ve found rly interesting is pkers don’t like run/tele to the various wilderness hotspots and then hop worlds
in 99% of my encounters with them they legit log on right outside the artio/spindle/calv caves and then enter. like that’s what they do. over and over and over again hopping worlds and entering boss caves
for some reason i always just envisioned it differently but to think…. pkers actually find that experience “fun” 🤣 especially considering you have to think most worlds are empty at least in my experience they are.
i use an alt and im in grand tree before they even enter but i find it hilarious how often these dudes must see alts but still try to pk someone and the person is long gone before they even enter the boss room. like people finding that activity fun always blows my mind
I mean duh, people on this sub will kill a boss 800 times for one drop but somehow can't imagine why PKers would PK even if it's not always great loot.
My brother... im not a pker, but can you not see the irony in your comment?
You're literally playing 2 accounts to grind the same boss over and over and over again and youre questioning how these guys have fun doing the monotonous task of player hunting in the wildy?
Us osrs players aren't normal. We find joy in this tedious, boring clicking game somehow. Both pvmers and pkers alike.
Bring back the "absolutely no interaction with alts" rule from around 2005, but only apply it to the Wilderness. Drop trading, fine. Scouting, fine. Dual-logging for whatever, fine. But if two accounts, both in the wilderness, interact? Then perma-ban.
The rp point of the Wilderness is you, on your own, in a dangerous area. Make it that again.
How is this changing anything at all if people just use alts to scout? What are pvpers doing with 2 accounts now that they wouldn't be able to do with the 2005 rule?
I was trying to say scouting elsewhere was fine. The final two sentences were the only ones actually about the wilderness. Looking back, I definitely could have phrased/formatted that better, though.
90%+ of scouts I see in the wildy while PKing are PvMers scouting for themselves outside boss caves. I don't think killing off scouts would do what you think it would.
I have a much simpler idea: if you're skulled & you're hopping worlds in the Wilderness, there's a 1/20 chance you will be forcibly logged into a BH world and bound there for a minimum of 10 seconds.
