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.

Maybe some prices will go back down again? 76king increased the amount of materials just bought and wasted. Every time someone 76ked, it wasted at least 76k of items, so people were buying them like crazy.

This update is only effective if you have only one partner.
The only way I can think of to stop 76king is to remove cash drops, although someone could probably think of a better solution. |

But noooo. Jagex is too conceited to admit they've made a huge mistake and screwed up bigtime. |

The easiest solution would be to limit the value of the drops to the amount of loss. If the killer had low ep the loot would go down from there.

This would make 76king a bit more complicated. |

Good that they're trying to do something, but they need to get rid of cash drops, not 76king.
Another fail. |
