Good points. Would certainly liven up Shades of Mort'ton a bit, as Caches are already very popular and give lots of xp. A Memorial perk and/or Morytania legs could increase the odds, perhaps.

Some minor xp for motivation sounds nice but xp for assists sounds hard to implement. I do think the essence TGOP reward is intended for xp, though, but its not being notable is rather annoying.

I'll fix the formatting, thanks. Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

Perhaps you're half right; perhaps we can't win. But we can fight.

Would it?
Make it so that the last 2 or 3 people who interacted with an orb get the xp.
The orb must actually move for it to count as a "interaction".

Also, I have a idea for burning Vyrewatch too. Remove the trimmed Rune Sets from the loot table, and replace them with
Golden Barrows Ornament Kits
which can be used to turn Barrows armour into their gold variant.

Seeing Jagex made almost all GOP rewards available via runespan I would suggest they simply should unify both currencies and allow players to earn all rewards on both ways (GOP should be faster (break even or slightly improved on a loss, noticeable on a draw, significant for winning), span more afk-able)

Taking on Mike Lts idea I would say you should be awarded a few rc (b)xp (and currency) for every point your team scored in a certain round - currency simply for the reason as losing with a great performance shouldn't be rated worse than winning with a bad one - and an additional incentive to get players to trying as hard as they can to reach high scores

Taking on your idea with stackable essence - instead of removing it after a game ends it should simply be sent to your bank for normal use. Maybe players could even toggle if they wish to receive regular essence or this new unstable one (in lower quantities) Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Sounds good. I'm quite angry about the new update though, it further devalues the minigame in favour of afk'able training. I'll make sure to complain about it.

Golden Barrows kits sound great! They could also go to Shades of Mort'ton I'd say (three sets to one, three to the other?), into gold chests. :P Bizarre Boron Fusswell, scryer extraordinaire. OSRS: POH ideas & RS3 minigames & achievement ideas !

I think a nerf for the effort needed to obtain the RC set was in order - it simply was unfeasible to go for it if you just wanted to achieve skill mastery - but I wish the rates for someone at level 99 in the span would have been achieved by playing GOP for each piece. And the current GOP rates for the span

Albeit it probably will be more than just a few hours for someone starting RC from scratch now and wanting to benefit from the set.

The real issue is that the GOP practically has nothing interesting to offer besides the teleport focus for the morytania task and this massively overpriced set - and jagex has missed chances at least twice now: The wicked pouch and yesterdays additions - but at least the latter could be fixed with a unified currency and improved rates compared to the span.

Maybe also as a QoL thing talismans could be noted upon purchasing them - it currently is somewhat annoying to buy bigger numbers Improvements: Tooltip / (F2P) QoL v2

Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza:
- Remove players who die from the game with their current score instead of turning them into gorillas; sabotaging and killing players is pointless as it does not increase the score for anyone
- Remove abilities that help with sabotage and replace them with support ones
- Prevent F2P from buying bonus xp, or let them use it
- The instancing is flawed: players who enter may appear towards the end of a round, unable to make it in time, and not even start on round one. Fix this.




I'll number the responses from 1 - 4 in regards to the position of the suggestions.

1) No. As a mater of fact, if a player is killed by a gorilla, all players who have been transformed into gorillas get points.
2) No. There are no sabatoge abilities, the abilities are support abilities for whichever side you choose to play as, Marimbo, or Brassica Prime.
3) Don't have any issues with doing something about this, but for what it's worth, f2p can use the bonus xp, though only on Double XP Weekends.
4) They should definitely do something about this. Leader of The Enemy ||

1) That's true, but players still get more points from surviving a round in the last three or so rounds. It's generally agreed that the players who become gorillas don't add a fun competitive element to the game. I guess it's a bit like Trouble Brewing sabotaging; well-intended but it doesn't really work.

2) That's just a different perspective on the same thing. :P

3) I.e. four days a year, so practically never, heh.
