Hello Wrathanet, Thanks again for the comments and opinions.
Sorry I haven't had the chance to reply.
In a game as diverse as this there are undoubtedly going to be very strong opinions about just about everything. When putting out an idea for a new skill I expected no less. It's an idea that may lead to some change in the game in a direction that I believe the game could use. Whether it becomes a skill or not really isn't that important to me, actually I mostly like the debate and interacting with those with intelligent and constructive thoughts, such as yourself.
I do understand it would be most similar to fletching, kinda like fletching meat. And unlike many I happen to like fletching. But then, unlike many, I really like mining too.
I would enjoy buying up amounts of carcasses and butchering them in the field or in a butchery shop, using the smithing skill to make better and better butcher knives and saws, and making a new room in my poh with butchery blocks, saw tables, and even a marble topped cutting table.
As far as the programming involved I can't help to think it would be a large undertaking to add a new drop to every creature involved. I certainly may be wrong.
I'd love to hear from Jagex just how hard this would be, regardless of whether they consider doing it as a skill or not.
