The gold set would be attainable in 50 hours as opposed to the 400 it currently takes. Unless the 350 hours I would have wasted would be compensated somehow, no thank you.

I would like to be compensated for the hundreds of hours I wasted not knowing about RuneScape. It's not fair that you played before I did and never told me about this great game.

As others have mentioned, the Castle Wars suggested poll is quite unbalanced. While boosting tickets existed in the past, dramatically increasing their rates would be terrible for the minigame. Unless the Jmods are willing to create a new tier of rewards for higher prices, I, among many from the CW community, are fully against these ticket rates.

I would counter by suggesting that the prices of the halo and 1 defense armors are lowered instead, maybe by 75%, while keeping the same ticket rates of 1 for loss/draw, 2 for a win, and 3 for a shutout. This way, the pures who complain about slow rates will be happy, and the dedicated CWers who grind 100s of hours for their decorative sets will keep their "status".

It would be a shame to devalue the only long-term reward from Castle Wars.

I am completely against the castle wars ticket idea. they shouldn't change the amount of tickets won but an extra better reward. I've spent ages to get full decorated gold, this was an achievement to obtain, wich it wouldn't be if you let this pass. this would outrage the castle wars community, wich is a skill and tactic if you play it well and not just boost for tickets
-> no increase of tickets, if you want to change something, add a reward

Pest Control style experience points, or make a competitive mode where people must pay in 100k to play like in Last Man Standing. Cosmetic things don't appeal so much to a combat mini-game.

I currently have over 10k tickets at castle wars.... took me over a year. and now u wanna increase the number of tickets u get from 2 to 25? wtf lol. might as well get rid of tickets. just have people show up, take the halo and leave.

instead of focusing on how to make cw better, you just wanna throw away tickets to attract more players? terrible move.

how about u fix the sabo situation instead. to people whove never played cw before, a sabo means a person who goes around wasting all ur teams cades so ur team has to play without barricades while the other team plays with all 10 cades. my solution is "Limit the number of cades to 4 per person. the team limit would be still be 10. therefore, it would be take atleast 3 people on 1 team to sabo a game".

also. add more useful rewards to castle wars and boost the gold armor set. right now the full gold set is about as useful as the white crayon. There is 0 advantage to using the set in game.
also, u should be kicked out the game if 2 minutes worth of inactivity is detected to get rid of the ticket leechers.

and finally, we should be able to activate castle wars bracelet effect during the middle of the game incase we forgot to wear the bracelet at the time the game started.

I would love to see the addition of a blue dragon area to the Taverly Dungeon, as the removal of the dragons from Nieve's cave without a substitute area for them being made will cause a potential overflow of players at the current locations.

The jump from the current to the new Castle Wars tickets per game is a bit too much, this would be more reasonable;

- 10 points per win
- 7 points per draw
- 5 points per loss

To prevent many salty people that grinded hundreds of hours of cwars:
1. Lower the price of the current high tier items, for exemple 50 tix for halo ;
2. Give the amount that has been reduced to the player in the form of cwars tix (in this case 250 tix);
3. Bring out new rewards that are actually worth grinding for these hundreds of hours.
