What I've lately noticed is that many old players have left the Battlescape, but those have been replaced with new players. There's lots of players requesting help in the clan chat and this wasn't a thing few weeks ago. People will always be upset if something is taken from them, but I think that's what is needed to be done for future of this server.
There's been good suggestions in this thread about how to get rid of the raids that affect the economy after the raids minigame is fully released.

Option 1
Xfer raid items back to points and re-do the shop for that points shop. The shop could contain some rares and skilling supplies as example.

Option 2
Add unique item id for the current raid items and make them untradeable. This way they cannot be taken to the wilderness, so only can be used for PvM.
The new raid items that are acquired from the minigame could be traded and used anywhere.

Reasons many old players left Battlescape is the increase of new players who are skillers/PvMer's - Pking diminished from what I can see lol BS was known mainly due to the Pking community and old RS players who wanted to relive 07 back when BS was open in 2008-2010. Obviously times change so nothing can be done but it is what it is.

You're very wrong by saying that nothing can be done. The problem is that BS is currently created to serve the pvmers.

Well if something can be done, in regards to serving Pkers. What would that be? Yes I can see it serves PvMers, is that working well for BS at all? I don't play it now you see.

This statement and many others like it has always made me curious as to how pvmers and skillers effect pkers at all? Other than them providing access to items by selling to them or when they are pked I just dont understand why there cant be lots of all kinds of players.

Well it doesn't affect Pkers in that sense, there isn't any balance to Eco/Pk servers unless you have the playerbase to cover it. It has to be easily accessible to items for Pk servers if lower player count or more common drops. The only way a Eco/PK server works is with a big player base like what BS has back in 2009-10 for it to work.

Just a theory, don't take it too serious I hope haha.
