My two cents: Weapons such as God swords or claws that rs07 fire cape have super-powered specials shouldn't have been created. JaGeX is not required to release one dragon weapon for each weapon available in the game. Godswords shouldn't be allowed to pke with their insanely powerful strength of 132+, which lets you hit far above what your strength level has been allowing you to do for many years.
You were required to put your items at risk if you wanted huge destruction. (However this wasn't always the case since most of those who were risking were permitted to protect their godsword). I think this is the best update. I've not pk'ed for a while. However, I have done quite a bit of Pjing. This is my favorite method of playing and I bought only claws. (Ok well it also was cool when it was the full dragon). I did sell them on the day before, but at the lowest cost.
You can now get an item with a very high bonus to str. Pking is intended to be a risky. It's not intended to be a noob spec-and-run sport (what I was doing). It's about honor fights.
Buy sharks. This is the best food for survival and longevity. Dragon weapons are soon to be dominant the land. Watch out for how fast they rise. While players will have 76k points, you will observe the dearth of players in PvP settings. Everyone is gone. (The pures and pjers are still there, but the pkers are gone. No one is going to risk their best items and if they do feel free to jump into the midst of it and take everything they have.
It's my opinion, the best option. I can use the 5 runs of runes in my bank to pk and the few dragon scimitars and dds's that I have. I will pk properly, as I won't get any damage from Ags or D claw specs. If someone wants to fire cape buy osrs attack me with claws I will not let them die.
