giving a starter bag is reasonable because the new players when they join they will go to the wildy for pking their rune's sets wont stand a chance vs dharok's they will litterly get pked on 20-30 seconds
even if they had fire cape and fighter torso
new players must at least start with 1k pkp/item
first if they choose to pk they can at least stand a chance vs dharoks
seconde if they choosed to go pvming they can buy some gear whitch will help even if a little bit
