What it really amounted to once I looked at it, performed with it and saw exactly what was entailed... was that ability was nothing greater than a"skill" put into place so as to give all the obsessive/compulsives some thing to do after they'd completed everything else to perform under the OSRS buy gold sun. Can you say... level 120 anybody?!? I knew you could! The fear at the time was the amount 120 was going to become the new norm for all abilities but for those people who were still sane and exercised common sense logic, we saw nothing more than an empty shell with a great paint job.
Let's face it... mindless clicking to level some skills to 99 was bad enough but if you wanted it all then that's what you did. Besides getting some items to show off like capes and the like... names... yada-yada-yada... being on the top page of this hi-scores dining table... or on the respective skills tables meant you're"the best" and ought to be worshipped. Or at least be highly considered.
Adults understood it was only hours of your real life invested in a game clicking away ad nauseam. Anyone recall Zezima worship? I sure as hell do and I still hate that man's name after all these years! I saw him in a lender ONE SINGLE TIME back around 2006 and it was pathetic! A small army of followers a fall-fall-following him everywhere. OMG times three!! Receive a life nooblets!
The point is that in many ways some of the skills became useless once you reached a certain degree though I shall concede Jagex made some type of attempt cheap RS gold to change that over the years with fresh content. The thought was to make them enjoyable or at least for there to be some point. Tracking: a great deal of that content was pointless or downright dumb! Oops! So much for change. In any case, just because there's new content doesn't mean it will be fun or worthwhile in a small measure.
