This thread is to discuss my idea, which is fundamentally different from simply inserting rewards. I want to create a new currency to not make a single minigame most efficient currency, etc.

Also, I've not seen the owner of that thread update it in some time.

Please stay on topic. Okay, sure. I guess this is what I get for attempting to help rid the forum of spam.

No support. Seems like a complete waste of mod time and resources. 200M all skills, Trimmed comp Cape, MQC

What exactly don't you support?

Keep in mind the shop itself already passed a poll a very long time ago, but none of the rewards did (many of them have been implemented in more fitting places since). This is very much reminiscent of the Rev caves, which passed a poll, but none of the rewards did, because they didn't fit the content.

Please say what exactly you don't support, so maybe I can re-vamp the idea, as that is the purpose of the forums. Castle Wars in Theme - A few minor changes to fix cheating

That system makes me feel like I have to play certain minigames at those times otherwise I'm just wasting my time doing them on off days. Not a big fan of the suggestions, but I honestly was always under the belief that they should just toss NMZ and put its rewards into the minigame shop since they're such a main part of the game now.

I see what you're saying, but I would much rather the added activity be spread across various minigames, than for one to be having all of the activity.

I shall ponder on maybe there being a small bonus to the points in rotation, or something to lessen the impact you are discussing. Basically, with the current efficiency mindset of the playerbase, some sort of incentive like this is required to increase the activity of less lively minigames.

I am definitely open to reward ideas also. NMZ rewards have been noted, although I do not want to add a gp/hr to them, so I'll have to look at what is non-tradeable, and maybe expand upon those lines.

Thanks. Castle Wars in Theme - A few minor changes to fix cheating

I revamped how the currency would be rewarded, but after considering the Pros and Cons of offering the rewards already offered up by NMZ, I decided against it.

First, it would become a slippery slope. What makes NMZ rewards so special? Why can't I buy the rewards from minigame A by playing minigame B?

Second, I don't want to add any type of monetary gain to minigames. That eliminates most NMZ rewards. What's left are potions (I already said Overloads could be included), the scroll of redirection, and imbues. I don't think it's fair to have any of those in the shop.

There already is monetary gain in the minigames that people already do such as pest control which has buying herbs, ores, and gives money based off combat level and barbarian assault which has gambles. The idea is to remove NMZ because it kills life in minigames that could be there if they had the rewards offered by NMZ as an extra incentive. The rewards from NMZ are mandatory now that is the main reason people go there so killing social minigames for an antisocial one that is just terrible and not even used for its original purpose to me is dumb.

People mainly do minigames for what the rewards are that's why you will see castle wars dead while pest control is always active there is no getting around that. The idea of the minigame reward shop was to make it so that no matter what minigame you played it would still get you something useful which the imbues would do a good job of.

I think I phrased the monetary gain part poorly, I meant any ADDITIONAL monetary gain. I agree with what you said, so I'd be willing to put NMZ rewards to a poll, although personally, I'd probably vote against them.

I personally don't even feel that NMZ should be considered a minigame as far as the cross minigame shop goes. I wouldn't want people to be able to gain the currency from minigames like NMZ where you literally don't interact with the community.

On the wiki all of these are defined as minigames:
I've crossed out ones I don't believe should reward the new currency

Barbarian Assault
Barrows
Bounty Hunter
Burgh de Rott
Temple Trekking
Castle Wars
Champions' Challenge
Chambers of Xeric
Clan Wars
Duel Arena
Mage Arena
Nightmare Zone
Pest Control
Theatre of Blood
TzHaar Fight Cave
TzHaar Fight Pit
Last Man Standing
Inferno
Blast Furnace
Brimhaven Agility Arena
Fishing Trawler
Gnome Ball
Gnome Restaurant
Impetuous Impulses
Mage Training Arena
Pyramid Plunder
Ranging Guild
Rogues' Den
Sorceress's Garden
Tithe Farm
Trouble Brewing
Volcanic Mine
Shades of Mort'ton
Tai Bwo Wannai Cleanup
Burthorpe Games Room
Rat Pits
Rogue Trader
Tears of Guthix
Trasure Trails

So, as you can see, only games I believe that should offer the new currency are:

Barbarian Assault
Castle Wars
Clan Wars
Pest Control
Fishing Trawler
Gnome Ball
Trouble Brewing
Burthorpe Games Room

To me, a minigame is something that isn't a main method of training, and isn't a decent way to make profit. It is something done to play with other players, and ultimately, to have fun.

With so few actual minigames (in my opinion anyway), you can see why I originally only wanted them to offer the additional reward when highlighted.

When I talk about the rewards I mean just the imbues and things that are simply too important to ignore the other things like flax, herb boxes, dragon scale dust can go I am more than fine with that. I do like the list because these are the minigames that really require groups (trouble brewing is debatable but I can ignore that because it takes like 20 minutes if you tried to farm it each game with one other person).

Why you hatin on gnomeball? Bring memes to OSRS general forum
