It is not impossible to do the ardougne tasks. All you need is 2 other people to help you start the game timer. Once the game starts the others can leave. From there all you have to do is capture the flag once and use the catapult.

Highly recommended to do this off of 24, as the people who run it will purposely try and stop you from completing the task as much as they can.

I still enjoy Runescape after coming back but it is now a solo game. The community feel of fun that I enjoyed back in 2007 is lost.

Mainly minigames are being killed off because people see them as "XP waste" ahead of training. Moving them to one hub won't solve this.

-SO HOW DO WE FIX THIS? PEOPLE WANT XP ABOVE EVERYTHING! SO GIVE IT TO THEM; IN THE MINIGAMES! INTRODUCE XP REWARDS (LAMPS AFTER END ROUND) DEPENDENT ON ACTIVELY PLAYING THE GAME, AND NOT JUAT AFKING FOR TRIM COMP EXAMPLES:

-The more people you kill in castle wars the more combat XP reward
-More repaired in Pest Control the higher XP crafting/construction XP
-More flags captured in CW equals more agility XP
-The higher winning health margin in duel arena more XP you gain
-So on and so forth with other minigames/mechanics of their play taking up XP rewards dependent on active involvement.

WHAT IS MORE THESE XP REWARDS COULD ALSO BE SCALED TO YOUR CHARACTER'S LEVEL IN THAT SKILL; MEANING THAT NO MATTER WHAT LEVEL YOU ARE MINIGAMES ARE ALWAYS A VIABLE ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF GETTING XP GAINS.

On the whole I think Runescape needs to look seriously at what kind of game it is. It claims to be a massively multiplayer online and yet its focus almost seems designed to reduce those interactive aspects of the game or change foundation it's built on:

I can log in right now and play for hours straight skilling with little or no interaction with others. This isn't what RuneScape was built on. If it is like a solo game then I may as well play one elsewhere.

I hope some ideas like this, to bring back the community feel, are implemented or thought of soon.

Nobody cares about minigames, nor nobody ever did except in era when there was not much to do on rs in the early years. The only reason why minigames used to played is because rewards, which are outdated now. just like minigames are as concept anyway. Spotlight offers better rewards, so people play the same minigame every 3 days, then it cycles to another one, so consider this dead content already revived and nothing else should be done about it, these rewards are already op enough to get people to play. If you want that 2007 feel just go back to playing OSRS which is stuck exactly there outdated by 10+ years.

If you need to do a task just wait until the required minigame is on the spotlight, then you will have no problem getting it.

list of minigames that are needed for tasks
Ardougne Tasks: Castle wars - 3 tasks: play a game, win a game and use the catapult
Ardougne Tasks: Fishing trawler - loot a manta ray - can be soloed.
Canifis tasks: The great orb project - get enough credits to make a blood tablet and use it

Just do all of these even if not currently completing a certain task set, this will save you trouble in future.

Oh and soulwars was shit, the only reason why the minigame was so busy in 2011 is because all of the bots, nobody else really enjoyed that minigame (or any other) to play it for many hours every day, this is why as soon as bots were dealt with on rs3 playerbase took major impact and so did minigames, there was like 25 players instead 800 and soon after soulwars died.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but introduction and popularity of ironman modes on both rs3 and the 10 year outdated one, proves that this is not what rs was built on.
