Why should we have a fishing skill when no one fishes. Years ago, you could go to any fishing spot and find dozens of fishermen. Now your lucky to see a couple bots. When you get 10 times the fish in less time doing combat, why would anyone waste time. The market for fish are dying because they are dropping as often as they are, so the supply is way out strippinging the demand.

Why have woodcutting skill, when no one cuts wood any more. You get way faster logs with combat, so they is no market for anyone cutting logs.

Other than herbs, there is no need for farming. Plant a few trees and you can farm all the herbs you want.

Years ago, you would have to fight for a spot to mine anywhere in the world. Now outside of mlm and perhaps blast furnace, you hardly see anyone and those are not very full. Most of those there seem to be bots. The demands for it has fallen so there is little value in the ores.

Why do we need a runecrafting skill when we can just do the minigame for all the runes we need.

For that matter, do we really need cooking, since all the food is just dropped in huge amounts from mobs?

IF herb is just buying the pots from a grand market, we would not need farming for herbs or herblore.

Firemaking could just be the minigame.

Since jagex has made it plain they only support combat skills, why do we need the other skills?

how would you say Jagex only supports combat skills when they have released multiple skilling mini games that took many hours of work to do, as you stated some in your comment itself. Getting rid of skills doesn't work when there is still low level player base, how is one suppose to get the stats needed for beginner quests or even to do the mini games without those skills?

I'm sure your comment will be well they could just lower the requirement level but then is there a need for most of the rewards from those very same mini games?

or how about the player base that does not enjoy the mini games?

can you name me the monsters that drop every log in the game needed for quests or other things like construction?

would there be any point of playing the game past 126 combat if this were the case?

there are many people that play this game as mostly skillers still to this day. the way they have changed combat to almost needing to learn how to tick manipulate to even complete high level bosses not everyone can do, or want to spend the hours learning.

not to mention ironmen and how it would effect that game play.

I'm sure this comment is a troll as you are probably just bored of the game or burnt out but there are plenty of reasons why the skills have existed since the day the game was released. there are also reasons new skills will come into the game as long as there continues to be a steady player base logging in daily.

Correct me if i'm reading you wrong but I think your main gripe is that skilling is fairly inconsequential in terms of money making and there's other faster ways to gather these resources.

If so that is true because primarily boss drop tables are far too generous in terms of skilling resources and thus making skilling somewhat unviable in many aspects.

In saying that I don't think the solution to any problem is holding a flamethrower at the problem and eliminating the entire structure but by simply addressing the issue itself :)

IF jagex cared about skillers, it would not require 100+ hours of boring skills to earn a bond for 2 weeks.

According to jagex they are not generous enough. Since combat players are the only ones that matter, they are the only ones that should have money according to jagex.

Also, when someone suggest they not get resources, but instead get some way of buying the resources, no one supports the idea, skiller or combat player. No one wants to remove the huge rewards for ignoring 90% of the game.

lol no this is a bizarre suggestion

it really doesnt make any sense at all.


how would this be good for the game? As far as jagex is concerned the game is all about pvp and pvm. It once was about skilling, but that was more than a decade ago. As jagex sees it, if it is good for pvm, it is good for the game. If it is not just for pvmer or pvp, then it is not good for the game. Skilling is not good for either.
