Jagex didn't you learn anything. Making the game easier is what ruined it in the first place. All of these updates are just making getting exp easier. Go add stuff like that to rs3. This game is meant to be a challenge

Just because something is easier doesn't mean its quicker. Lets say a mining update passes:

It will probably take 2x longer to use that method to 99 mining than it is to power mine. No need to whine just because its not a combat update, which 99% of updates are. The reason most of the options are for mining is because its one of the most unrewarding skills, and its common knowledge that its not really the most fun skill to train.

Smithing has plenty of uses, construction has plenty of uses, runecrafting, farming... Everything that everyone is complaining about that wasn't an option. Firemaking doesn't have any real use, but campfires would become dead content if it passed. Why? No one wants to carry around a tinderbox and logs everywhere they go. Its easier to just use super energy potions. The fire arrows would just completely unbalance the combat triangle too.

Pretty sad when skilling gets its first update on OSRS and people throw a fit over it. If you don't like it, don't use it.

I do not by any means support the campfire run regen mechanic. This is an absolute slap in the face to people like me who have spent 250+ hours getting to 99 just to have a slight advantage during the rest of the game. If you want faster run regen, stop complaining and go level agility yourself. Don't make Firemaking useful by making Agility useless past 70. That is not how you solve the Firemaking problem.

Camp fires: If this idea is implemented, I'll never see my lovely rest option. The rewards sound pretty useless also. I'd rather it have been just like a bonfire.

Fire arrows: Should not freeze. Should only have a chance of extra damage. The requirements to make them are obnoxiously high also.

Construction shortcuts: This is my favorite idea. I like having shortcuts around the game. I hope more shortcuts are suggested like hidey holes for crossbow shortcuts.

The motherload mine:
1. Washing "dirt" to recieve your ore is stupid. You should get it as soon as you mine it.
2. I hate the smoking rock random and pickaxe flying off. If those had not been mentioned I would have liked this idea more.
3. It sounds like you would get less xp here than you would power mining iron. I also don't want to have to fix random stuff when I only want mining xp.
4. I don't care about the outfit.
5. I do like the concentrated ore idea, but that's about it.

Explosive mining:
1. Cool concept, except it seems like you would spend most of your time making the explosives. It also seems purely for profit. Mining sucks and I want faster, easier xp. Don't care about the gp.

The Quarry: Would have been a good idea if all the ores were concentrated. You should have a choice of getting the ores to keep or trading them in for bonus xp or rewards. I don't like the drill idea but the smithing part of this idea isn't too bad.

Potion Enhancer: Seems OP for PvM. I'd rather you suggest extremes, overloads, and super antis. Either way I don't do PvM so this idea is 100% useless to me. It you had allowed PvP (excluding wilderness) it would have been better.

Charcoal Mound: The rewards are pretty useless. 1/100 chance of extra bar when most of the logs are 15 seconds and less is pointless. You probably can't even smelt 5 bars in 15 seconds. #wasteoftime

My vote goes to construction shortcuts. I would vote yes on 2nd poll to it. I *might* vote yes to the quarry. All else would be no.
