Filthy NOD propaganda, find that bald and goatee wearing bastard.

My first gekoloniseerd on lemmy… i am humbled sir. Lets test your metal: Friet > Patat

Yeah I do agree that often the skills tend to be a stepping stone to the actual part of the content you want to get to.

Having said that I think it also depends on what you want to get out of the game. For most it’s doing X quest, having X gear or killing X monster. Its more rare for people to want to be able to chop redwood for example as a goal, because reaching it is very “boring” to most and it doesn’t amount to as much considering it’s “prestige/bragging rights, value, score”

Maybe that is part of why those skills are stepping stones. The end is much more hollow and boring compared to the learning curve of a combat skill which has this high skill ceiling facilitated by the bosses for example.

Tbh I think although they won’t be making a push for that right now on /r/2007scape, we can slowly improve and grow this community here which in time will entice people to switch.
