Agility
you can jump over hurdles and obstacles any human would say "no" to in a heartbeat.
You also cannot jump over broken walls, obviously, you can knock out a few teeth jumping over broken walls, that's horrible, but nothings wrong with jumping over blades that can slice you faster than an industrial sized woodchipper.
Construction
a hammer, some wood, a few nails, and a saw can make the most fabulous chair in existence.
You can turn some drab white bolts of cloth into some vibrant red curtains without any dye.
Cooking
there's nothing wrong with kneeling into a roaring fire as you cook, no gloves are necessary either.
You cant bake a cake till your level 30, but my niece can bake one, and she's what, 4?
Crafting
gems can be chopped up with a chisel and the back of your hand, yet only 3 types can be busted or ruined, I suppose if you can chop a darned diamond with the palm of your hand on the back of a wooden stick with sharp metal on the other side, you wouldn't even want to do anything to it with a hammer.
Farming
you cant plant certain seeds till your level 30 something, hmmm, I must be level 99 in real life.
Firemaking
you can make fires inside of shops, with no repercussions, and can stand in the middle of them, again, with no repercussions.
The basic fire can be made of any logs, whether they've been near the water for a long time, or dry as a bone.
Fishing
it takes and average of 3 seconds per fish when using any kind of implement at level 99 fishing.
You cant catch bass until level 42 fishing, but I can attempt to in real life now.
Dunking a pot for lobsters in and out of the water will get you some consistently, they love the cramped spaces of a lobster cage and the sound of their cousins screaming on the range, apparently.
Fletching
you can turn a piece of otherwise crappy wood into a work of art at level 5.
Your capable of cutting 5 perfectly straight arrow pieces per 3 logs, what a waste.
Herblore
it takes you till level 3 to make a stupid attack potion, all it is is stuffing some leaf into a jar or bottle and adding some other possibly foul ingredient.
And since your mixing simple ingredients inside a beaker, shouldn't you be able to us magic with it and make something that explodes?
Hunter
you need to be level 3 to hunt anything other than a red, dumb, parrot like bird that sits on the trap all the time.
Isn't it funny how the bird simply plucks its own feathers and de-bones itself?
Magic
you need to be level 20 minimum to teleport, dang, David blain must be level 99…
you can turn bones into peaches or bananas, if I could do that, two things would be different, I wouldn't have scurvy, and my basement wouldn't look like a crypt (joking).
Melee-
hmmm, I can lift a sword of any metallic origin, why must I be level 60 to wield something that's made of dragon? Shouldn't that be lighter? Same goes for the thing about armor...
if it is actually heavier, logic would dictate that id need STRENGTH, not ATTACK, attack is something I can do to someone…
Mining
did you know that if the head of my pick-axe flew off in real life, I could sue the manufacturer for faulty products? So why can't I sue the little dwarf?
What could be easier than hitting a rock? A lot of things, the new mining emote not only makes it look more real, but it also gives the woozy look most miners have after 12 hours underground smelling their own armpits and breath.
Prayer
I'm slightly religious, but I can rib myself and others now and again.
Somehow, in real life, I don't think killing someone or something, then burying the bones will make you have better prayer.
And, wtf? If its true, why the heck cant I raise my defense by 5 percent in the middle of a fight? I go to church some Sundays to refill my prayer, but nothing happens…
Ranged
a real person cant fire and reload a crossbow with 1 hand…
if there are so many fletching skill-capes all around, where the heck are the rangers that use the level 99 fletchers creations?????
Runecrafting
carrying a bunch of magical stones on your back would look off to say the least, not to mention it would be really uncomfortable…
in real life, those little religious posts would have little bird turds all over them due to rampant pigeon population explosions.
Slayer-
if I wanted to stand around and kill some dang bugs or some square jellyfish with my bare hands I would, but I don't, so why the heck do you make a skill about it?
Smithing
Apparently its possible to smack metal with a hammer to produce a fine sword, and you can make the molecules stick together without fire.
If you can make a sweet sword in all of 3 hits, more power to you!
You have to stick your unprotected hands INTO a furnace to melt things, not bad, but on top of that, you need to stick them BACK IN to get the same piece out, then you put the lump of steel in your pocket…
Thieving
what can be more controversial to third world countries than to teach their kids to steal from stalls?
How awkward is it that in real life, if I killed a guard that was guarding a stall, id have massive jail time plus a fine to pay for the irreparable damage to the family.
Again, what if the guard saw me steal and came up and hit me with a mace, that'd be police brutality.
The only repercussion besides the guards attacking you is the fact that you COULD get some jail time, and that ONLY ends when you PICK A LOCK AND ESCAPE. What the heck is wrong with these fine British game makers these days?
Woodcutting
heck, I can get perfect logs times 3 every two hits, in real life, that'd be a lumberjacks dream.
Forget about moderation, shoot, cut down as many trees as you want, they all grow back in what? 30 seconds max?
Well, that's all folks, this was my opinion on Runescape, I hope you enjoyed it, see you at my next publication thing =P
