To those saying Artisan is just a task system - what does that make slayer?

Also a task system is your answer. Although, Slayer is not quite as bad as Artisan. Artisan forces you to train certain skills whereas with Slayer at least you want to be doing combat. Both Slayer and Artisan are bad in my opinion. Artisan slightly worse though.

The same way you don't do slayer if you don't like combat, you don't do Artisan if you don't like skilling....

These skills look boring and worthless.... If of these get released, I will not train any of em. So dumb....
-Artisan: why do i need a skill to tell me what to train on?
-Forestry is just another farming skill. I already hate maintaining farms, I don't wanna maintain forests too..
-Astronomy would just be annoying. nuff said
-Geomancy doesnt sound horrible but I would have liked a skill that was more fun and useful.
-Herding: seriously? herding will reduce the amount of activity in the world of rs. You will see less people active because people will be busy herding. We already have construction to take away from social activities.
Astronomy sounds annoying.

So disappointed.

It's irrelevant whether or not you like or don't like skilling, Artisan is still bland. It's a glorified task system which works even less well than Slayer does for combat.

Why are so many people being negative about these new skills? They are just ideas for now, no need to hate on the players that created the skill it was their idea. Give credit to the OSRS team for actually giving us a chance to create the new skill and make it our game still. Mod Mat even said there will be a chance to vote "no new skill" on June 18th. I think they are all great ideas for new skills, obviously they are not perfect but why repeat Runescape by adding Summoning or Dungeoneering? I think a new skill would be fun and would give everyone a chance to have that "new skill" feeling again.
~~HAPPY SCAPING~~

I'm sure people would be more positive about it if they liked the ideas. It seems as though most people don't find these potential skills appealing. It's great that people have put in time and effort to submit their ideas and also that we get a chance to vote whether we want them or not. :) But still, people don't have to like or want them. :)

Artisan is a task system, go burn 50 maple logs "Duh ok" congrats here's some artisan exp. "Yaaay" <---- the entire skill, they didint think of adding anything else.

The other 3 skills i wont even mention because there idea's are just off shoots of other designed skill ideas. But aren't the worst.

The only one that comes close to a true skill is FORESTRY though yes it is similar to a minigame in some peoples opinion, but in reality its more like construction. I mean think of that; Being able to tend, create, and make your OWN area of runescape. Now that my friend is groundbreaking. sure you can call it farming 2, but be honest its more intune with runescape then nearly any skill you've ever heard of.

Runescape is built around the sense of adventure, and when even you yourself could make new area's to adventure in, this forestry skill get's the immediate 5 stars

There is nothing funner then you yourself being able to write the story of the game in your own little land; its what made construction so good.

Next up we have the problem with the task syste- i mean artisan skill; it is incredibly bottable; it is being set to do tasks that are as fun as- You have fun fleaching to gain exp?-. its not fun, or adding anything to the game at all content wise. ITS A SKILL ABOUT SKILLING you cant be serious? who the hell had the idea for this? i seriously cant believe someone thought this was an OK thing to do?

Worse yet; my god half of you idiots i wonder if you even read the skills; artisan is winning by a soild 30% over the other's; true 2 of them are terrible but salvageable, 1 is strange, but workable into a skill (herding), and one is actually Awesome for a skill, and could be done very well, and its not even second place.

If artisan wins, fine, but please dont pull a dungeoneering, it is not a skill. just call it the task system please dont make it a skill, and make me half to waste another 2 months of my life to get a 99 that is useless like firemaking.

I'm all for new content and I was annoyed at the people who said they would be voting no for any new skill ideas. Now I'm in the position where I'm not really fond of any of these ideas. =/ They are all extremely well thought through so props to all the submissions, they just don't appeal to me I guess.
