Perma-skulled and no protect item on PvP & BH worlds

[Tamal]

From the article (http://news.runescape.com/newsitem.ws?id=2022):

Players who enter a PvP or Bounty World will now automatically become skulled and unable to use the Protect Item prayer. The skull will not disappear over time or when a player dies, unless they go to a non-PvP world, in which case the skull behaves like normal. Note that this means you will always lose everything you are carrying if you get killed by another player, and that there is no way for you to keep any items on death while in a PvP or Bounty World.

Additionally, on members' worlds, your victims must now lose at least 75,000 coins' worth of items (increased from 25,000) for your earning potential to be applied to the drop. On free-to-play worlds, the amount the victim must lose remains at 25,000 coins.

Please note that you will have to be in a safe area before you can next log into a PvP or Bounty World. You will need to log into a non-PvP/Bounty World in order to move to a safe area. This is to ensure nobody logs in risking more than they are aware of. A message will explain this on login if you try to enter these worlds. This only applies to your next PvP/Bounty World login; from then on, you will be able to log in as normal.

This is obviously a response to the 26k/76k shenanigans we've been seeing of late. Do you think this will fix it?

I don't see how it fixes it, players can still just go out holding 75k and not risk any items and have their friend kill them.

I get the impression that this is mostly to get rid of one-itemers, where they can item protect the one item that they bring (e.g. DDS one iteming).

This update in the system should actually help fight the 26k trickers. This update will make it so they can no longer stand around safely in the bounty hunter zones. Last time I played bounty hunter I stood there and waited for my target to be given to me for a long while and not a single person attacked me. Instead, people would come up to you and politely ask you to a duel... Although it's kinda cute, this is NOT how these games are intended to be and hold alot of potential to extract a considerable amount of ep just standing around doing nothing. I've even seen people using the high alcemy spell out at bounty hunter lvl 5.....

i can't see how that does anything. now instead of just using coins/junk, players can just wear 75k in gear and fight. they are going to loose it anyway.
