Ever since half a year before Construction or so it has been like this with every skill. Before Construction came out everyone was like "OMG carpentry!!!!", "Carpentry will never come out...", etc Before Hunter came out everyone was like "OMG hunter!!!!, "Hunter will never come out...", etc. Before Summoning came out (or was announced in the diaries) everyone was like "OMG summoning!!!!", "Summoning will never come out...", etc. And now it's the same thing with sailing :P During the carpentry times I didn't really know what to think, and I didn't really care much, either it did or it didn't. But it sounded appealing anyways. During the hunter times I thought the people's claims were a bit far fetched, I mean they based their claims on that there were new squirrels north of Falador... But I still didn't say "Hunting will never come out..." because I saw what had happened with Carpentry. During the Summoning times I was pretty into Summoning coming out :D there was so much overwhelming evidence and the skill right next to it in that 2004 promise had already come out, so I was 90% sure that it would come out. And still, even though there was a lot of evidence for it coming out (teasers in Tarn's Diary etc.) people said "Summoning will never come out...". Now during these sailing times I personally laugh at the people who say "Sailing is never coming out...", because I've already seen the same thing happen in the past 3 times now, and I really can't ignore that :P But I don't really know what I think of sailing myself, I'm not into sailing, thinking it will come out or anything, but I'm not into being all anti-sailing either. I prefer being open minded.
