MatK said there will not be a skill in OSRS gold
Here is the issue though, so everything they proposed could have been executed as a non-skill. Sailing could have been released at a similar way to Player-owned Ports (REEE RS3). Warding might have been a crafting/magic expansion, it’d have a lot of content which could have made it a skill but players REEE’d at most of it so it had to be chucked. Artisan could have been an expansion to every skill potential, since it was basically slayer v2, just for skilling. Pet Ranching Is essentially player owned farms out of RS3 again, does have potential though.
Most skills we DO have may have been executed as a non-skill. No reason farming had to be a skill rather than a distractions and diversions kind content. No reason mining/woodcutting/fishing needs to be an ability, it could just be a minigame with various factions that you dump points into like Barb Assault. No reason construction needs to be an ability, why can’t it be according to our crafting level? Just because you can imagine some random non-skill implementation of it does not mean it’s a poor idea for a skill.
Honestly, I believe that that is a small misconception. It reminds me how players thought Hunter would be like Buy Rs gold Slayer because the names imply similar things. The single aspect Ports would talk about with the proposed Sailing is that you could customize a ship.
