All those dang extra bonus's to range and mage attack/defence is complete bull imo.

Its going to be such a disadvantage for us melee users in a pvp situation.

With pvp being the largest activity in oldschool is there any thought of giving some bonuses to melee attack/strength?

I.E. Superior arrows/and some of the armors you can craft with this new skill will make range/mage completely out weigh melee in a pvp situation thus making it unfair!

I can understand the complains and I personally think this still needs much improvements...
How I see it should be:

1st: Make this work with all skilling skills (mining, firemaking, hunter, construction...). Make us the ability reroll tasks with artisan points. But not to remove tasks of the skill completely if you are 99, or else people with many 99s will block the slower ones (eg. runecrafting) and then get tasks in fast skills (e.g. woodcutting, firemaking). The rewards should be "craftable" with a certain level in artisan. Also make it possible to make normal clothing to our character, just as Thessalia in Varrock. :D

2nd: Make some areas that you need artisan level to get into where you can find resources, like oak trees and fly fishing (low artisan level), yew trees and mithril ores (higher artisan level).

3rd: Make
quests
for us that need a level in artisan and we get xp in it from. Skills without quests are like they shouldn't actually be there.

4th: Don't make this skill benefit combat too much. Make those items to Slayer. Instead, give boosts to skilling skills, like double xp seeds to farming, or an item you have in your bag, giving 1.5x xp in firemaking for eg. 10 minutes, and so on.

5th: In eg. Runecrafting is quite low xp, could we get more xp in artisan, like 1.5-2x? Artisan shouldn't be too slow to do, or should it?

6th: Don't make it possible to buy items like this:
* Task: Mine 100 coal.
* What you do: buy 100 coal.
* You claim your reward.
This is not how it is meant to be!

Sorry for my English

Reply to Damien 1, saying this same thing:
I think ranged and mage is already better than melee in lower levels. Why add something even better?

P E A C E, would you agree with the skill working the way i explained on page 52 and 53? IMO the idols SHOULD be summoning monsters vs damage % boosters. That goes for anyone else who thinks this skill is lame the way it is. I hate letting a great idea go to waste.

The following poem I just wrote for the 07-Jagex team to see about the new skill topic is called:

Why...

A new skill is not needed, there are more important things,
a new skill is not wanted... and I have a huge want-list.

A lot of disagreeing may be coming... that's what I feel,
I like the so far progress but this I couldn't believe...

It's not even what you think, it's just a a bad mix of skills,
just discard the idea, that would be our relief.

Please no. this sounds like a really bad idea.. PLEASE GIVE THE OPTION TO vote whether or not we want the new skill in the game, you gave us an option to vote on which skill but you never gave us an option to vote whether or not we wanted a new skill.. Please MOD MAT K dont do this to us :( please stop putting so much work/money into this new idea and just give us a poll. PLEASE

It's not that i "hate" the Artisan skill, i just see it pointless in which i would much rather something like summoning which makes pvm more fun...
No affence but the Artisan skill has no interest in me at all >****;
