Small PkPoints bonus based on risked wealth?
Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2016 2:34 am
A rather random idea from a player I had briefly spoken to today, but since it would be literally 2 lines of code, it's really easy to add this system if we'd want it.
Rather simple: for every 1B of wealth you risk (based on ::prices), whoever kills you gets a small number of PkHonor Points as bonus. Maybe 5 per 1B? Maybe 10? Maybe just 1 or 0.1? Specifics can be voted upon, but we want to know if the community is behind the idea. I don't think the slight inaccuracy of ::prices would be a problem at all.
On that note, it is true that in the past 2 years, we've mostly added new sources of PkHonor Points to be gained, with the leaderboards, weekend events (although those are relatively short), some others as well as other - new - bonuses we'd want to introduce. The actual contents of the PkHonor Points shop have however remained largely unchanged.
With the addition of all of the latest OSRS content, I believe it would be a good time to add some items to our shops. For example Saradomin's tear - to make a Saradomin's Blessed sword - could be an expensive Bounty Hunter shop item, while some of the new items (including some cosmetics) could be added to the PkHonor Point shop (several new items would be added to other aspects of the game of course, such as PVM). With the new items, the extra bonus gains of PkHonor Points shouldn't affect prices on current items too much.
Any input is welcome, if you're against it, please share your thoughts and reasoning for it - proper argumentation in favor of or against this idea is more important than plain voting (at least the election taught us something in that regard).
