because it will allow people to move on to the other parts of the game they want to play, instead of spending countless hours on a minigame they don't find fun.

Like really? so if dont want play castle wars and want to focus on anything else they can. Your arguments are like whaaaat? so if I dont like Chompy kills let give us 1 kill counted as 100 cause it looks to me boring seems ok for you? or I dont want to waste so much time with RC lets give us 10x more XP for each rune so I can do what I want.... its ridiculous...

Not the same argument.. though I realize YOU may be unaware of that..

they will get reward quick as hell they will never come back!

Honestly.. why do you care if other people don't find that fun and "never come back"?

Select your most favorite part of the game.. and say you have to have 99 farming before you can do it.. that ok with you? Why, or why NOT?

It's a minigame.. clearly one that many prefer to NOT play.. if they can get the reward they're after (in this case, sounds like the best mage def in the game) why would they stay a minute longer than getting that reward? And what the hell does it do to YOU playing CW even if others don't want to or don't want to for long?

Seriously dude, why do you care what part of the game somebody else plays? "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

The amount of castle wars tickets should remain the same as it was. I don't see any reason to increase it. It only devalues the tickets people have been rewarded in the past.

It was also a rip-off to add the favour rewards from client of kourend quest last week but at least that quest and its rewards have the pros of introducing more people to the activities in the Zeah!

There are other ways to improve the castle wars minigame.

Please look into some rewards and updates for the Last Man Standing minigame. Cosmetic rewards. LMS pet. Another LMS map. A Last Team Standing mode with 2 people per team.

Please give a REAL buff to the smithing cape. The both of the effects are pretty close to useless. There are cape effects that provide multiple unlimited teleports to the crafting guild (the best bank teleport), the fishing guild, a player owned house or portal, warriors guild, legends guild, and Falo the bard. you can even double your health regen or have a permanent ring of life.

These are all pretty fair I'd say, considering getting a cape of accomplishment is not easy to get, but why would anyone want those smithing bonuses? The coal bag extension is only convenient if you are at a normal furnace or superheat item which aren't that common at all for people doing smithing (let alone, at 99). Then there is a boost to smithing experience with the goldsmith gauntlets, which is only useful for people who are going for 200m xp or trying to climb the global rank which is also very uncommon. Why not give a boost that is worth working for? It doesn't even have to be as good as the ones listed above, but it could at least do something valuable.

it could be searched for a hammer and bucket of water. It could allow you to get a daily discount on ores sold in the blast furnace (similar to the Varrock diaries with battle staves). It could give you teleports to Thurgo. 1/2 as much coal used and guaranteed iron bars at any furnace or while superheating. Daily Teleports to Lovakengj. It could allow you to use the blast furnace for free. Unlimited OR limited teleports to smithing locations like anvils, furnaces, the blast furnace, or Keldagrim. Works as Ice gloves at the blast furnace. Broken Blast furnace does not affect your smelting. Get 1 more cannonball per bar while smithing.

Some of these might be op but the point is there is more to smithing than gold bars and the coal bag. Getting 99 smithing allows you to make rune platebodies which is already pretty underwhelming. It would be nice if it had at least some useful benefit for getting 99 smithing.

The diary perks are great, but the diary cape perk is essentially useless. Adding more teleports makes it no more desirable. Even if you changed them to be infinite, I still wouldn't use it. I can't think of many, if any, situations where it is especially useful. Putting all perks on the cape is too op, but there has to be something better considering how much time it takes to get.

Castle Wars is an extremely tedious game to play, with 25 minutes of playtime you are only playing for cosmetic upgrades. The highest might I add is just a cosmetic rune set, which serves zero purpose other than looking fancy. The fact that this set currently takes hundreds of hours to achieve is insane.

The players who think the new ticketing system is too generous are just out of their mind. 5, 15, & 25 is fine. This makes the easier, lower tier gear achievable with real-life statistics. As someone who's working 40+ hours per week, I have zero time to try to get these cosmetic items.

If this fails a poll, it's insane. You're voting no to cosmetics, not some major update that changes the game. Just because you spent hundreds of hours getting these items doesn't mean the next person should have to. You've endured it, so you know how time consuming & ridiculous it is.

"devalues" this word is thrown around at every possible aspect of RuneScape. we're talking about cosmetic upgrades, not you're freaking Runecrafting skill that is boosted an additional 5k xp/hour.

Am I the only one with a gripe about the double Law and Death runes? If you make that update, both will crash. You'd essentially be taking away one of the few good remaining money makers for lower level runecrafters/skillers.

If you don't think that is bad, when a combat consumable is made cheaper, you essentially provide the people that use it with more cash. More cash for PVMers causes inflation for all buyables and high level combat gear. It's basically a big wealth transfer from low/mid level runecrafters/skillers to PVMers and people with a high runecrafting level.

What's up with the hundred updates a month? This is the beginning of RS3 all over again. Constant updates. Devaluing achievements. Alienating skillers. Why u do dis?
