Summoning offers nothing more than longer gameplay for the ones that seek for it.
Don't like summoning past 99? Don't do it. That simple

If you like summoning past 99 nobody is stopping you from doing it. However if you put 120 req on comp, players will be forced to do it. I don’t think you will see the difference, but that’s ok.

Also, here is a list of familiars that are not used on a regular basis (by your definition “a few”):
Spirit Woolf
[...]

Or about 60%

At 99 there is no point in using the following too:
Iron Titan
[...]

So additional 20%.

So overall we use about 1/5 of all familiars. With 120 that ratio won’t change knowing Jagex, and may likely get lower by making pack yak, steel Titan, nihils or skill boosting familiars obsolete.

There's been a lot of threads... Why do people not get it? Comp is optional, nobody is forcing you, ... stats are the only issue but that is being looked at right now by Jagex, please don't use this as argument, lol.

Most familiars you've mentioned, especially "At 99 there is no point in using the following too:" are still used. A lot of these familiars produce items (sometimes overtime) which is useful for ironman or starting players. Hence the low level requirement. (Red spider eggs, Cockatrice eggs, papaya's, ... ). And this game isn't focused for being 99 in a skill. Well do'h. If you're level 99 summoning, ofcourse you're not going to use a terrorbird anymore, why would you? I am not going to equip mithril armour either when I can wear malevolent.

Shows that you don’t read posts considering I didn’t mention spirit spiders or fruit bat. Essentially you then concede that majority of familiars are not used and there is no point in releasing more until you fix the current state of summoning.


I said ", ...". Please re-read.

To name a few:

- Giant ents have a 50% chance to double yield when harvesting fruit from fruit trees, belladonna, and cacti. As such, it is effectively a 50% yield boost

- Pigs are still used and are really good for low levels

- Demon brawlers are used for new people at Solak. Why? Because of the AoE aggro, I don't blame you for not knowing this, because you're not even a member

- Spirit cobra for eggs

- Inferno for minigame

- Mantis for PvP (Specially with the mace) !

- Thorny snail for BoB along with my message:

Also comp is a more valid argument than “the skill is easy to train”, “you should have 120 by now”, “if you don’t like it don’t do it”, “120 skills give the possiblility to release new content in the future”. If I forgot any of your other failed argument, let me know.
