I suggest that players either take damage or get banned for something like 4-12 hours if they choose to stand on the never-ending fire at the fishing spot outside of barbarian village/edgeville. I see dozens of players/bots standing on the fire each day, making it harder for everyone else to cook. A lot of this game nowadays is about efficiency and forcing players to have to click an extra time or 2, every single time they want to cook definitely adds up eventually wasting a significant amount of one's time.
If I simply ask these players/assholes to stop standing on the fire, generally they either try to start an argument with me and/or, more players join them in the fire standing display of "dominance". I don't know why players find it so hard to simply click on the side of the fire...never once has the pathing lead me to stand directly on the fire, the only way my character ends up standing on it is if I actively direct him to do so.
It's just a simple common courtesy to not make things more difficult/time-consuming for others and I think my suggestion would be a good way to motivate players to be more courteous and respectful to each other, at least in this specific area. I remember in the old days of Runescape, players went out of their way to HELP each other not the other way around like it is today.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
