If changing the ticket rates kills cw than that would be an indication of a bigger underlying issue - it isn't fun. If getting the set is reason to quit playing, then they were never playing because they actually liked the minigame. Something that nobody likes playing should be scrapped or improved. Those people who are serious about this killing cw should consider seeing the minigame removed entirely.

For you as a team to even suggest such a nerf to the castle wars community in favour of people who don't even care about the minigame and just want to have an item they didn't work for is complete and utter ludicrous.

This is the exact parralell to offering x10 xp in any skill that is 'grindy'. If people don't want to play for the reward at the given rate, then it's simple: don't play and don't get the reward. That is the basic principle of how rs is governed: those who play and put in the effort, reap the rewards of their hard work.

The game has been out for many years now, and people like myself have dedicated closer to 1000 hours with the minigame. I have collected approximately 5k tickets in that time, all legit. If you were to basically take every reward that used to take at least 100 games and make it obtained in 12, I would have to take a moment and reconsider what is Jagex's new agenda.

Simple nonsense on part of the OSRS team to even suggest this 5, 15, and 25, ticket poll.

Just shut the hell up seriously, using any new armour/weapons beyond rune has not resulted in a x10 increase in xp/hr. They are literally taking the maximum tickets gained/hour and multiplying it by 10, taking the amount gained in ties and multiplying it by 15, and taking the amount gained for losing and multiplying it by 5.. you have to be kidding me if you even relate this to armour/power creeps beyond rune, just shows you are beyond help, and I pray you find your way back to the light.

Most poll questions are decent and minor tweaks imo (the skillcape bonuses are pretty cool and all, but I already feel like this is getting sort of out of hand in its own way).

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.

Great alternative suggestion (!) that keeps the status symbol of the higher tier items intact but makes the minigame more interesting for the casual players in my opinion.

But... Shouldn't the poll for the map be voted on BEFORE substantial development time be spent on it? I thought that was the whole idea of the polls, so that dev time isn't wasted on something that does not get voted in?

Strongly agreed, I'm not against the update, but this makes the polls kind of obsolete and unobjective. I'd almost feel so sorry for Mod Jenesis that I would vote yes even if I was slightly against the update.

Lastly I would like to add that the dev team is doing great on trying to implement new things to keep the game interesting for both casual and higher tier players that are (near) maxed out, but I do feel that the distance from the actual 2007 is increasing everytime a poll passes. I'm not against updates in general, but I feel pre-EOC scape creeping closer if you know what I mean, which I find a shame.

Nah.. I meet the requirements jagex has set in order to post in forums, so I'll post my own opinion and not what you want me to post.. thanks anyway.. and just because you didn't understand what I said, doesn't mean I should quit posting.. maybe you should quit reading posts that upset you?

Question: Should the amount of Castle Wars tickets which are rewarded after completing a game be changed to 5, 15 and 25 for a loss, draw and win respectively?

Yes! I love this. Attractive way to bring new players.

Please poll the question and let the whole community decide and not the castle wars clan on the forums otherwise for any dev blogs a small number of people can change the outcome for thousands of people.

They will poll it and the community will be who decides it.. not the few in forums. =)

This is true.. and unless and until it ends up fun.. people aren't going to do more than get any rewards they might want.. and honestly, if there were die-hard CW's fans.. I don't get why they'd want people there that don't want to play it. "Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" -Martin Luther King Jr.

For the Rune Pouches:
Instead of making them Shift-Clickable, why not just make them left clickable to empty? Is that a possibility? Because right now, a Full rune pouch has the left click option to "Fill" which, logically speaking, doesn't make any sense. (The Partially filled rune pouches can still have the left click "Fill" option.)

Among all the CW related posts, this guy is the MVP.

I'd like to remind everyone that double deaths would cause low-ish levels to earn less money, as it would drop the death rune price, and as such, make single death runecrafting and barrows a lot worse.

Law runes wouldn't suffer much, since most people can't be bothered to go to entrana, and nature runes are already worth more.
