First of all, congratulations with the success of the OSRS mobile!
I would like to address the current Castle Wars issue’s in 2018 in hope to see them get reduced, or even better, eliminated.
Saboteur
: How it works: A player on the opposite team (the saboteur) will set up 10 cades at a quiet place where barely anyone comes, at the waters for example.
I got two ideas how to reduce saboteurs.
1. Only able to place cades in certain areas like the castle, so they will be more quickly noticed and destroyed if there were to be a saboteur on the team.
2. Each player can only place a certain number of cades. With a total team amount of 10 (as it currently still is). This won't wipe out saboteur's, but will reduce the amount.
Rewards
: The tickets you get at the end of the game are for most players playing castle wars important as it would get them closer to get that item they want from Lanthus.
Some of those players just want the item, but don't enjoy playing castle wars itself. Therefor they are willing to
A.F.K.
Castle Wars rounds till they reach the ticket amount they need. The items you can get from Lanthus are wildly used for low level P.K.'ers as cosmetic or useful item. My point is that the rewards you can get from playing castle are used outside castle wars. I believe it would be very helpful if the OSRS team would take another look at the rewards of Lanthus. Years ago, the rewards of Castle Wars were updated with Profound armour. This was armour that was very effective and usefull inside the castle wars game. If we could bring something of that usefulness into the rewards we currently have, we perhaps will see a difference in activity of castle wars players.
