I think the way smithing and metal Armour is created should be changed to improve the game for all and give it a bit more realism.
I think buying metal armours on the exchange and shops should be stopped and trading of them should be removed.
This would then force players to build there levels to craft their own as it should be instead of just buying them as soon as possible.
This would then also lead to my next suggestion the long awaited update to smiting as these metal armours can no longer be sold on the grand exchange or traded the option to "Refine" these at the "Refinery" should be added to turn the items into "Powder" and "slag"
This could then lead to maybe a "Refinery" workshop at level 99 smiting with added levels to be able to refine different metal items. The higher your level after 99 determines the amount of ore "powder" you are returned compared to "slag".
This powder should stack and then be used to create a "pure bar" of the given ore. One "pure bar" should count as 2 normal bars or maybe be used to create future weapons upgrades ??
I would also suggest a "master refiners" outfit be added to be gained from continuing to train in the smiting skill in the "Refinery"
