I've cut removing strips of cloths from the city quest suggestion at page 35 as they're now tradeable and significantly more reasonable to make

Sharp. Why were they untradeable in the first place, I wonder.

I like your BA recommendations except for the making 1-9 less bxp as I hate doing kings because its time based. As someone who can consistently do 13/14 minute 1-9s (which is extremely above average) to be forced into doing kings which you have to wait 5 minutes no matter what for the king to spawn plus the possibility of someone dying which means you start over. These reasons are why I don't do kings for fun. But you are right that kings are dead content and most people only want a king kill for trim req and after that they quit ba forever. Also with the release of lotd, it made the collector insignia worthless. The penance king and queen pet is something a friend of mine have been wanting forever. He posted many times on reddit hoping to catch jagex's attention as they do not really look at the forums. If OSRS has them, why can't we? Also thank you for putting my idea on your page :) Lieutenant of Ba Teams

Thanks! The reason for the xp suggestion is that Wave 10 is substantially more difficult than the other waves and one should get the best rewards by completing the full thing, not stopping prematurely. Also the fight with the King is really fun. :D

That said, I just looked over the suggestion and realised I've forgotten to add "Allow the team leader to spawn the King sooner.", something I'd wanted to add a few weeks ago and which would also solve your problem. :)

I agree the recent change where they added a shop with universal reward points has only made the problem worse. I've had a quick read through your suggestions, namely for FoG and GOP, and definitely agree with your suggestions on those. I miss playing those mini games, and I don't think I can get back into the game without being able to play them.

All that each mini game needs is a leader board on the hi scores and fresh exclusive rewards or other incentives such as a competitive XP/h rate, for example with your idea of making the essence stackable in GOP and the robes giving bonus XP within the mini game.

QoL changes that you've suggested for both GOP and FoG wouldn't go amiss, but aren't as necessary as better exclusive rewards.

Thanks for your support! Though personally I'm inclined to lay the stress on gameplay tweaks.

After all, in theory, players will play a great minigame in spite of terrible rewards and avoid a boring/bad minigame despite great rewards. But I fear the stupid I-want-xp mentality may have turned that around... I blame completionist capes and MTX.
