and you look lame making a first post of that quality... remember its a game. its there for fun. if he enjoys lighting fires, then who are we to tell him otherwise? in your opinion, if firemaking sucks that much and is so repetitive, then wouldnt that give you more respect for a person who reached level 99 in said skill? personally, i think firemaking is a skill that has been abused by jagex. i found it fun to train it to level 60, just so i could have the personaly satisfaction of being able to burn yews. i respect those that have the patience to train fm to 99. and if you enjoy firemaking, then dont stop.
