this whole area needs to have portables blocked, there are plenty of skilling areas around the way it is. yet with soo many people placing portables it makes it annoying to try to make your own stuff from the area. this is just crazy too on how much it abuses the "slight" xp buff for skilling in the area. PLEASE remove being able to place portable skilling stations here!!!
The xp buff is there for a reason. It is intended for the encouragement of social activities. Fort Forinthry is for a communal content with skilling, combat and quests.
When skilling in fort you get 1 resting point per minute. 1point every 3 minutes anywhere else.
I'd say that's an incentive to skill in fort. Also lots worlds where fort is empty, go there if you want to be alone
I think, Forts could become, private citadels, of sorts,
weekly task, could be required,
Like: Zombie invaders, need to be killed -- ( maybe a level set ?)
if you fail to kill all the zombies, your buildings, could be lowered in tier
The group by the well. could act as Grand Exchange
