Thanks for reading through my (and others') ideas
My reasoning for the runecrafting and swordfish (I don't think I mentioned the swordfish ones though) gloves is that other ways of training are way easier. Now, the runecrafting gloves cost 75 tokens, which means about 3-15 wins, depending on the score and your total level (about 10 "average" wins with total level 1200+). Let's say that you can win about half your games, and that every game takes 6 minutes (which isn't true, games take much longer - about 8 minutes if you are lucky - because of lack of people and because of afkers). You need to play for 18ish*6 minutes = 108 minutes (I cut it down to 18 because of 1 token per loss - should have cut it to 19 instead).
The gloves grant you twice the xp for the next 1000 runes you craft, giving you only 5-10k xp (and a bit more if you craft every single one of these runes in GOP, I think). Not very attractive when we have RuneSpan around...
For the swordfish gloves, an average player has to spend 2.6 times more time in FoG - over 250 minutes, which is more than 4 hours, and they get 100k fishing xp from that. With the current f2p fishing speed, you get well over 50k fishing xp per hour at the level needed for using the gloves (not via swordfish, but since you don't get any items while using the swordfish gloves, I believe I can safely compare that).
Edit: For some reason rc/swordfish gloves both cost 80 thaler.
About GOP:
If the activity bar depleted quicker, afkers could still attract one orb for the whole time spent at an altar, so, sadly, this isn't a solution to afking.
Oh, and from the GOP ideas I posted... none of them is originally mine, so please don't praise me for them
Edit: This isn't a widely known fact, but f2p can use their accumulated bonus xp during the bonus xp weekends, so we actually can use this Cabbage Facepunch Bonanza reward, though most of us don't do it. Play for fun!
