No support, summoning is one of the worst/grindiest skills in the game.

It's literally the only skill that has an untradeable/unique item as the primary way to level it.

as i saidin another thread i remember spending hours and hours grinding just to collect charms in RS3 and even with double xp i only ever hit 90 and that took forever...and if you tried putting that in OSRS? it'd take forever.

Not to mention summoning was basically created just to be a gold sink and with the creation of summoning they started reworking all the levels of monsters so it made it a lot harder to figure out what monsters you could kill at your level with summoning messing that up.

No support.

Edit: Also summoning was not "Objectively" the best skill in runescape, thats all just your personal opinion lol

like i said above:

a. charms are untradable, meaning you have to spend hundreds of hours in combat collecting them

b. spirit shards were quite literally just a money sink

c. it would basically overthrow the entire market place, making a bunch of useless items expensive and a bunch of expensive ones cheap

d. it changes your combat level and makes itharder to figure out what level creatures your suited to kill

e. the current monster system (including rs3) is still based off of the old school (monster attacks and waits x ticks) system... and adding summons would make monsters way easier to kill lowering the price of PVM drops

f. the skilling boosts given from some summoned creatures would make a whole bunch of harder quests meaningless or useless.

g. read all that and you'll see why summoning is not "objectively" the best skill lol

You're wrong and it's still the objectively best skill.

Not to mention some of your negatives are actually positive.



No, it is 100% your personal opinion that its best.

explain to me obejctively how summoning is the best skill and mention which of my negatives i listed are actually "positive" instead of just going "no, your wrong" because so far all im seeing is you trying to pass off your own opinion as fact.


Edit: Another one i forgot to mention on the list of negatives:
Adding summoning chards and the like to monsters drop lists drecreases the change of good/ non-charm drops from those monsters, potentially inflating the price of the items they drop because they become harder to obtain.

And i know a lot of people on this thread would hate to see summoning charms pop up as one of the item drops of a monster they killed instead of something off its normal drop table.



But yes....if you can as you put it..."Objectively" give me counter arguments to those 8 negatives i described instead of just going "no, your wrong" then maybe people might see it as a good idea.

Nope. It's objectively a shitty skill in most of our eyes. Just because you liked the concept doesn't mean we all do.
