How can people be saying "looks horrible, definitively voting no" and the such when there has been so little information about the skill released? This is the groundwork of the skill. The theory crafting, the sketch of a soon to be painting. Why are you looking at this dev blog as the end all of what this skill could potentially be?
I get it, you want Dungeoneering. However, going a different route than what RS3 went would be better for OSRS. Sailing seems to be incredibly similar (from what we have read so far) to Dungeoneering. The difference is, instead of being forced in 1 single spot, you get to explore vast oceans of randomly generated content.
When I read this dev blog, the first thing I thought of was a mix between Minecrafts randomly generatedness, and Zelda; Wind Wakers sailing. Of course the graphics will be nothing like Wind Waker, but the sense of exploration when I first played Wind Waker should still be attached to this skill.
Bottom line. Don't say yes or no to this skill until we get more information. You really look ignorant if you immediately dismiss this skill and all its potential based on a single dev blog.
