I miss Vinesweeper.
I know that many share opposing opinions but for me it was calm, relaxing, and by any definition I can think of, a true minigame. I didn't feel like I was training or grinding and half the time, I forgot the rewards from the game even existed. I'd love to see it brought back to Old School.
Admittedly, I often reminisce over it while I'm at Tithe Farm, grinding monotonously for the exclusive rewards from Gricoller's shop. I love farming, but I do hate running back and forth in a repetitive pattern clicking wildly across my screen for seeds and watering cans trying to race against a clock. I think to this day, the only reward I've successfully acquired from the shop was Gricoller's can, simply because I can't be bothered to spend more than 15 minutes at a time there.
If truth be told, I think I just love the idea of farming exclusive rewards/gear being available from more than Tithe Farm, and think Vinesweeper would be the perfect way to implement alternative sources. I had occasionally wished the seed box were a tradeable reward, or even some variant such as rune pouch notes, but I feel as though making it tradeable would somehow tarnish it. I like Runescape because each reward you earn, you can actually feel like you've earned it through many hours/days/weeks of seemingly endless effort. I think I just wish earning a seed box and some farming gear didn't feel like such an arduous grind.
