Skilling > Combat

Today I'm going to talk about an extremely neglected part of Runescape by the majority of players. Most players Runescape related goals and dreams are very similar, obtaining a godsword, getting the best armour set, being able to "own" any other player in a fight, or even getting max combat to feel oh so powerful. It is really sad that a very slim percentage of Runescape players have dreams in any way related to "Skilling". In my opinion, Runescape shouldn't be about being able to own someone in a fight, because what is that worth when your total is that of a level 70's? I've seen far too many people in the 110-130 Combat levels and with a 1,200-1,500 Total level, I mean, is that even possible? These people have Cooking, Firemaking, or Woodcutting in the 60's, skills that are so easy to level and enjoyable too. I would love to see a Runescape were players balance out their skills and don't always concentrate on combat, killing things, "pwning", or thinking that they're the strongest and most powerful person on the planet. Skilling is so much fun and you can reap so many rewards, there's no reason to have 99 Attack, Defence, Strength, or Range when you have your Firemaking level in the 50's. Why do people always have a tendency to spend, spend, and spend all their money buying a weapon to impress others around them. Why not invert that money getting all those costly skills up a few levels, levels that will forever stay binded onto your character, unlike those weapons that you can lose, or lose money from their price drops. In conclusion, I'd really like to see a day where having a 1,800-2,000 Total level at around 100 Combat isn't extraordinary, but it is average. A day where your experience on Runescape isn't judged by your Combat level, or who you can or can't "own", but instead on your total level which is how I believe it should be in the first place. That concludes what I think about the whole Skilling/Combat relationship right now on Runescape, and you have full permission to think whatever you want on this topic, no need to listen to my troll on about this :P.

Also a great addition would be if Jagex could try to add the Total level of a person when you right click them. The same that happens with Combat level, but Total level instead :).

Furthermore, today on Runescape I did my Daily Stars and Evil Tree's. Passed 13.7m Woodcutting Exp thanks to an elder and got yet another Star tag today. I've gotten a Star tag for the past 5 days in a row, adds up to a nice chunk of exp :). Finally, I got Level 90 Fishing at Piscatoris, here's a screenshot of it:
