As many of you know, since the opening of PvP Worlds, ‘76k’ing has become a very common practice. We’ve never been happy about this as we believe it spoils the game experience for players who want to play on PvP Worlds as intended and exhibit their PvP skills, with high rewards for high risks, rather than it being a safe method for earning large amounts of money. Looking at our forums, it looks like many players feel the same way.
Designing and developing a solution to this issue that worked, but which did not lessen the rewards for legitimate kills, turned out to be rather tricky. We’re hopeful that the solution we’ve come up with will reduce 76King without having too significant an impact on legitimate PKers.
Players who trade kills will find that the drop they receive is lessened in value. Legitimate PKers might find that some of their kills will result in smaller drops (e.g. when getting revenge on someone who has just killed you), but since you’ll still only lose as much Earning Potential as is used for the drop, your average drop will stay the same.

I will have to see how this affects the loot first before commenting.
EDIT!!!: NO REVENGE KILLS?!!@!@#! I quit...
Edit #2: After a couple of hours of sickly pking I can conclude this has messed up my pvp experience alot...there's not many lvl 120's in w65 so you would always end up fighting people 2 or more times a day. Now I can't get as much kills with out junk loot.

Hmmmm.
Seems sensible.
Though, I don't think this really solves it. Just makes it a 3 person ordeal instead of 2. Don't really see any other options with out reducing loot for everyone else though.

um, the way i understand it the repeat kills are based on time, so like a ten person ordeal is more like it
10/5 is right btw

Hmm, I didn't see anything about time based. It just says trading kills. I guess we'll find out.

I instantly thought that.
I'm unsure as to whether this will actually deter people from 76king. Guess we'll wait and see if duo's of 76k partners become trios.

Doesn't seem like that great of a fix. The way it sounds you can just have a several person trick instead of 2 people. The players will work around things like this as they always have. I wish 76king was totally destroyed though.

A needed update. The huge sums of money being injected into the RS economy via 76k'ing were causing silly amounts of inflation, and making all the prices at the grand exchange go screwy, lol.
Expect that this will be just one of many updates which we'll see intended to reduce or at least make harder pvp drop manipulation.

If it works, the killer inflation thats been happening will hopefully start going down.

Pk to use ep.
Life, it can be difficult. You know that. We all need someone to rely on. Someone who's going to be there. Someone who's going to make you feel like you belong. Someone constant. It's ectasy, anguish, joy and despair. It's part of our history. Part of our country. And it will be part of our future. It's theatre, art, war and love. It should be predictable... but never is. It's a feeling that can't be explained but we spend our lives explaining it. It's our religion. We do not apologise for it. We do not deny it. They're our team, our family, our life.
