It's your opinion if they rework it into a D&D or flash event. I don't care if they do or don't. It changes the minigame from its current state.

Please understand that "rework" is not explicitly a "keep the minigame a minigame, but with an update". I'm not sure if you're misunderstanding or making an assumption on your end.

I using rework in the general sense that they will be working on the code ... again ... to do "something". Some activities have had more work done to them than others. Bug fixes, some had the # of players to start reduced, rewards updated, graphical updates so on and so forth.
So they will be quite literally touching the code again for a reason.
So it is a rework.

That whatever comes out the other end looks and feels like what was there before just something that means I don't have to wait on others (D&D, Flash, constant skill training method) or if they just make it so I can solo it or if they just rip it out and toss it aside ...... I don't mind in the slightest.


Dilbert ........ you seem to be missing something very severely in your own particular stand point .........................
The current system DOES! NOT! WORK!
I don't care if they make it a monster drop. I don't care if they make it a boss drop. I don't care if they add it to an existing or new shop.

I AM TRYING TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I AM TRYING TO SAY "JAGEX! LOOK! AN IDEA!!! SOMETHING YOU CAN TRY!!!!!!!!"

If players actually showed up to play the content .... I probably wouldn't be posting this.

Post your own gosh darned ideas of what Jagex should do.

We need action.
We need to shove ideas into their face so they can pick something and go with it.
We need to stop fighting among ourselves and stop trying to hold onto a past that will never come back again.

The concept of minigames being a core pillar of gameplay is D E A D.

We don't have to toss the items aside.

We don't have to throw every aspect of everything that is in the activity away.

I never said that. I never truly suggested it.

Some activities have something that can be recycled into something else.
Some activities can be built upon.

But some activities are beyond hope in their current state.
Some activities would have to be changed to extremes that they would be what they were in name or spirit only. Those are the ones that we might not be able to save. Those are the ones that time might not be well worth saving.

But I have no idea which ones those truly are.

In my PERSONAL opinion. Castle Wars and Heist have to go.

In my PERSONAL opinion. They can turn Pest Control into a PvM thing we just fight.

In my PERSONAL opinion. They can keep Trouble Brewing and Great Orb Project, just turn them into permanent skilling activities with a change.

In my PERSONAL opinion. Pest Control, Stealing Creation, and Soul Wars could probably be left as is and just reduce it to 1 player to need to start.

I could go into painstaking detail of how to do each and every single minigame. In my PERSONAL opinion.

For the love of GOD!!!!! Post legit and creative suggestions on what Jagex can or should do!
Don't keep saying the same things over and over.

POST SUGGESTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Just .... stop ... bickering ...... for 10 long ... god .... *******ing **** * YEARS this has gone on!!!!

Just for the love of god. STOP!!!

Post concrete suggestions on what Jagex should do to a minigame. Give them a template. Point to here, this, and that what they can try to actually do to make it better.

"It's your opinion if they rework it into a D&D or flash event. I don't care if they do or don't. It changes the minigame from its current state."


Again x 9000! Please read my posts all over this thread again if you haven't. It was Jagex's opinion not to spend their time to rework old school minigames ever since 2014 (even you acknowledged the BA rework failure in the last page), and then more recently they rolled out Flash Events to supplement D&Ds. It is not just my opinion at all.

"Dilbert ........ you seem to be missing something very severely in your own particular stand point .........................
The current system DOES! NOT! WORK!"


ignoble one.... you seem to be missing something very severluy in your own particular stand point ...............
This is Jagex's stand point, not my own.... and D&Ds have been working for over 10 years. We have seen far more players players doing them. You even admitted the 2014 BA old school rework failed. We see even bigger crowd in Flash Events. It is natural selection and Jagex know what work and don't work from their own data, not from individuals in the RSOF like you alone.

"If players actually showed up to play the content .... I probably wouldn't be posting this."


Have you been to D&Ds and Flash Events? If you have, I don't see how you didn't see players showed up.

"For the love of GOD!!!!! Post legit and creative suggestions on what Jagex can or should do!Don't keep saying the same things over and over."


Jagex told us what they would or wouldn't do to minigames since 2014 as you acknowledged. Post legit and creative suggestions on what Jagex can or should do to loot and xp in what they would do and are doing rather if you want loot ad xp! Don't keep saying the same things over and over again on loot and xp in old school minigames since their failure in 2023.

Dilbert stop it!

You keep doing the thing we all ask you to stop doing over and over again!
I hope you will see the problem most forum user do have with the posts you make.
Sometimes you just have to accept it and move on not keep going.
We know your point of view its done you do not have to be the person that ends the conversation over and over again.

It is done!

@Qwis7
I sincerely ask you to stop targeting me personally, and don't tell me to do this or that. I come to the RSOF to discuss the topics, not you or other forum users and what you and other forum users think about my other posts elsewhere. Thanks.

If you want to discuss the posts I make, I am more than glad to do so. If you don't want to engage in our discussions of what to do with old minigame loot and xp, you don't have to be the person that ends the conversation for the others who want to.
