He said a few things that interested me, despite not being a big quest person.
The desert caravans sound like interesting content.
I see what he means by not responding to player ideas. I know they do take player ideas, as I saw the thread that inspired evil trees and they developed my steampunk mad scientist outfit into the game.
But I have had threads for a year or more, and it takes work to edit, add and bump those threads. When you don't see a lot of player interest in your suggestions, you sit and hope Jagex might. So you wait, and you wait..and usually nothing is added into the game and you get no J-Mod responses. So I'll eventually let a thread die.
Speaking of minigame revamps- I have had in the past many threads regarding that. I tried reviving a suggestion thread to expand and redo the zogre tombs into something more. But I got no player or J-Mod interest, so I let it die.
I guess my curse is that I specialize in pet suggestions. My view is that players would have more interest in pets if the pets themselves were better. So I have two threads of pet suggestions, and I have yet to see anything in game that is based on them.
Ah well. I'll keep maintaining them for now. I might get lucky someday.
