OSRS is so ridiculously far from the type of game that should be updated around pvp, you people need to go try any # of the pvp games available instead of playing rock paper scissors on this 20 year old game. WoW for example has a very active & actually fun pvp scene.
PVP is easily the least approachable thing in the entirety of osrs & has a very small niche dying playerbase because no one in their right goddamn mind would actually want to pvp in this game. Not to mention a significant portion of duelers only got into it as a form of gambling & RWT, not to pvp for fun.
PVP is looked at through rose lenses from the days of smacking each other waiting to see who will win with a bigger hit when we didn't know shit about this game, high skill pvp is hands down objectively the worst, clunkiest, unfun thing in this whole game.
