I can tell by reading through this that I definitely will not be training "artisan" if it does pass. My thoughts after reading through this were mostly just; "why am I hearing about this again before the Corporeal Beast?".
I could be alone here but I for sure do not play this game to go skilling, and that isn't going to change because of another silly added skill. IMO dungeoneering had NO place in RS back in the day, and I was against hunter and farming also when they were being implemented. But, then again, I didn't play RS to skill back then either.
I try to take on the hardest possible foes... that is what makes me log on and check my FL periodically. See who's online to go kill what boss or else i just head to PK on my own. Why not try dropping a few of bosses (or at least the corp!) or try implementing BH before trying to add (or talk about) a new skill? I bet if you brought corp into the game + some other extremely hard boss and/or also make the wilderness relevant again, that you would see the return of older player just the same. Also if I wanted to see PKers come back... why would I vote for a skill that has nothing to do with combat?
I think I'll be voting no, sorry.
