I think everyone reading this petition already knows that “PvP Has a serious problem”. And, “PvP in Runescape will die if Jagex doesn't listen”. It almost seems as if “Runescape Players & Jagex are done with PvP”.

And quite literally, “it is worse than you think”.

It’s not just the Wilderness that has a problem. Almost ALL forms of PvP are severely neglected with major problems that have stuck around for more than a decade of players saying the exact same things year after year.

These problems include all of our major PvP activities: Castle Wars, Soul Wars, Last Man Standing, the PvP Arena, and in some ways even Bounty Hunter and PvP Worlds.

These problems range from game design problems of specific activities, to problems of the health and integrity of these activities not being seen as a priority, to inherent incompatibilities with Oldschool Runescape's polling system and PvP content, to designs that are "not great" for both PvPers and non-PvPers, and an inherent imbalance of PvP enjoyers seeing very few PvP updates compared to huge amounts of PvM updates for the past decade at an almost 9 to 1 ratio.

Frankly, I could write a book on just the list of problems alone. And I did. It's in my website and I cover it completely in the video I'm working on.

While I have many of my own proposed solutions for how to improve upon all of these problems, the overall goal is to inspire Jagex to take some kind of action and reconsider their approach to PvP in OSRS so that hopefully, we can find the best possible path forward for a healthy state of PvP in the game for everyone.

If you'd like to read my solutions, you can check out my OSRS PvP Design Portfolio on Github Pages.
