I agree with most of the opinions expressed in the 2 articles. However, like a few others, I also do not think Summoning shards tradeback at 70% to be a very bad thing. On the way to 99 Summoning players still waste over 40million GP, and that generally is a good amount. However, EP farming, the culprit, is just making that amount seem less significant, like many items. With the Herblore article, I also agree on bringing potions back to combat minigames, A bonus to having 90+ herblore in PVP worlds is like while you fight, you are also smacking your equal-combat-leveled opponent in the face with an invisible glove, and that wouldn't seem fair to a lot of non-skillers. I'm simply speculating here, since I do not PVP or have ever gained any EP, ever.
