Should regular players be able to complete 2x PvM tasks?

Once the wilderness achievement diary has been released, there will be 2 parts to it: a PvM/skilling part and a PvP part. Regular players will need to complete both parts, while Ironman Mode players will need to complete 2x the amount of PvM/skilling tasks but won't need to complete any PvP tasks.
Since the biggest part of our community prefers to do PvM tasks rather than PK'ing - and a lot of people either don't want to or are simply bad at PK'ing - I would like to add the option for regular players to skip the PvP tasks and instead complete 2x the amount of PvM tasks, just like Ironman Mode players.
I am aware that this is quite a controversial poll. On one hand, "completing" a game would mean that you have participated in all aspects of the game, including the PK'ing aspect. On the other hand, PK'ing is the only part where there's a specific skill required in order to complete it (not taking boosting into account). People who truly aren't good at PK'ing, but who are being forced to due to the completionist cape requirements, would likely resort to some sort of boosting anyway. Also, although the PvP tasks are considerably more challenging, it should take far longer to complete a full set of PvM/skilling achievements than to complete the PvP achievements, thereby making it a balanced choice.
It is important to note that the outcome of this poll will not make the final decision. The poll results are merely an indicator of what the community thinks. The final decision will be made based on who presents the strongest arguments.
