So just because they're easy to train you don't even consider them real skills? What is wrong with you? These skills are a necessity in providing balance in runescape - if there were no firemakers, there would be an abundance of maple logs and probably not as many people would cut them, causing people to flock to willows or yews, driving the price down even further. If there were no fletchers there would be no market in yew logs, making woodcutting even more useless. If there were no smithers, aviansies would not be nearly as profitable as they are. If there were no herblorists, the already expensive super restore and prayer potions would be close to impossible to buy at crazy prices. If there were no theives, well, not much would happen. If there were no crafters green dragons wouldn't be as good profit. If there were no cooks fishing wouldn't be as profitable and everyone would probably just head to shilo since no one's buying their monks, lobsters or sharks. This would in turn make the fish harder to buy and would affect combat-oriented people as well. If there were no rangers (chinners), there would be no incentive for hunters to hunt chins, so they would just grind salamanders for no profit to get 99 - meaning less people would even bother trying. If there were no constructors, armored zombies wouldn't be as profitable (not that big of a deal though) and people that train magic using plank-make wouldn't be able to sell their products, and it would end up being yet another useless spell. You also left out prayer, another one you can train insanely quickly if you have the money. Again, no prayer-ers(?), and there would be no reason for people to kill green dragons. You've become so brainwashed by the skill capes that all you think about in a skill is how you grind to 99. You don't think of all of the people who get the skill because they love the skill, or because of how useful the skill is. That's just pathetic.
