The problem is Pest Control, this levels up any combat skill at an unfairly fast rate. I think jagex did this to convert f2p to p2p. Free players t\realize they will never be the next zezima in accordance to combat unless they can spend hours at pc. Prayer however, I think is good for melee protect at a low lv of 43, since it is the hardest skill to bring up. 50 prayer is better than 65 attack.
