I can respect your opinion. But I'm pretty sure slayer is one of the most popular skills. I sure love it, anyway, and it'd be nice if new life were given to the non-combat skills, because it doesn't feel like they get enough love. Artisan is a way that new things can be introduced in the game while also giving the old more purpose.

Making a skill which forces you to do other skills does not breathe life into them. It makes them even more of a chore or a roadblock. It would be better as a minigame.

I agree they are all more mini games then skills . ohh wait artisans is a mini game in south fally below mining guild in evolution of crap. and I will only train one type of new skill and that is summoning. I am quitting if one of these mini games gets put in as a skill.

they should have another option on vote none of the above. another forced approval for unwanted crap.

I think that if OSRS is to release a new skill it should be a skill that sounds SOOO awesome and so far-fetched that it will have RS3 players saying... "Hey, that new skill they have sounds pretty damn cool, I might have to check that out." I'm sorry, but "Divination" (RS3's newest skill) blows all of these skills out of the water in terms of public appeal. Even the skill name, itself, sounds cool! I'm not saying OSRS needs Divination, I'm only saying.... if we go through with this and really, truly decide to open up these ancient gates to a new skill in OSRS, it should be one that brings Old School Runescape back with a BANG! A skill that represents Old School Runescape and the traditional mentality that its players have. No offense, but herding isn't a skill that is going to have players lining up at JagEx's door trying to get an OSRS membership. On that note, NONE of these potential skills would have people signing up for OSRS. I feel like these skills were chosen for their simplicity and the ease at which these skills would be able to be written into OSRS's pre-existing script. We want tradition. We want complexity. We want some freakin' ZEST and some FLARE. Jagex, I urge you.... IF you decide to bring a new skill to OSRS.... make it the coolest god damn skill RS has ever seen. Don't just make a skill to make a skill. Let us develop a skill that will have people begging for more OSRS membership, begging for more content. WE CAN DO IT.
I totally agree. Couldn't have said it any better!

I feel artisan is a great new skill, if you don't like the grind tbh your probably playing the wrong sort of game. Its going to be a great way to chat to some people all around Runescape, I would love to cut 1k yew logs but I don't ever feel like it. If the skill says hey cut 480 yew logs I would totally be happy to do so...

Over time the bank will build up a nice bunch of resources not only that but you train some of your other non combat skills while your at it. I feel its a perfect new skill to add it doesn't seem like it would be super hard to add so hopefully we wouldn't have to wait to long to see it added.

i agree with lobster tail . we need a skill that stands alone on its merrits.
like summoning, dungeoneering, and sailing - that has been a rumor of happening
for about a year now. in my opinion all 3 skills and diaries and a legit trading
depot should all be put in.
