Well considering how poorly Farming has been recieved do you really think Carpentry (and even POH's) would be recieved any better? Jagex are really beginning to loose sight of their "mission statement". They have already prooved that their "Customer Service" is very lacking, and even rude and abusive at times. Now for a game, that is really centred around combat, how can something like carpentry add to that? All the other skills are there to support the combat element of the game. The Slayer Skill was a great example of this, in making a reson for assisting combat. The other skills, such as mining and smithing - to make armour and weapons; woodcutting and fletching - bows and arrows; crafting - armour and (magic) jewlery; fishing, cooking (and even firemaking) - food to heal; runecrafting - to make the runes for magic; Thieving and Agility do not really add much to combat, but do at times help you to get to hard to reach places. Farming to a lesser extent helps with food, but REALLY? how can carpentry help? I just think it would be a waste of time and effort, and how can it really improve the game in any way? Jagex would be much better off to spend their time in extending the world, creating new quests, extend our current skill lists, and maybe even come up with something more powerful that dragon for us all :-)

I am beginning to think that Jagex have lost the plot. It seems to me that they are becoming money hungry (like a few other MMORPG's out there) and are loosing touch with the individual. They seem to have NO Customer Service Relations what so ever. Most of the time you write to them you get this standard message: Note that the response is almost a full week after I sent the message, and I have still yet to recieve a response from them, concerning the original message I sent them. And if you do get a response what ever they have "posing" as a Customer Support ( and I directly refer to Mod Mark L, in particular), is rude, arrogant and dosn't even care about their customers. In fact recent events from Jagex have almost lost me as a customer. If it wasn't for the great community of players out there, they would have. Which just itterates the point I am trying to make here. It is the community of people out there, who make these great site like Tip.It, that make the game what it is today! If Jagex are wanting to continue to grow, they need to learn to respect the people playing their game (their customer - with-out whom Jagex wouldn't exist today), and the people who put countless hours of effort, with little or no reward for their efforts. As I said before, if it wasn't for these fan sites, and the community of dedicated players, I wouldn't be playing runescape still...I would have moved onto another MMORPG, like Everpatch, or World of Warhack. So for Jagex to "request" (read - demand) that the fan sites to their game "do their bidding" is almost "cutting of their nose to spite their face"! In summery::: JAGEX - wake up and take a good look at yourself and realise that your customers are you most important assett (and the customer is always right), and do you best to support them as possible. Sites like Tip.It are almost required to ensure the continuity of the game, so all those who support and make submissions to these fan-sites need to be acknowlegde and strong encouraged to keep up their great work! OK, I'll stop acting like a bitter old man, and get off my soap box now. Thank-you for your time, Andrew Connor AKA connor1970 - feel free to PM me in game.
