Besides, how does people killing monsters for drops hurt you in anyway? They want what the monster drops, good for them. It's a game, so they do what they want without breaking rules. =========================== the drops are starting to detract from skills, smithing is practically dead at high levels due to the fact that rune is pretty obsolete now, and the only way to get the better armour is through drops. given this why would people bother raising smithing other than for the presitige? skills are what keeps this game afloat, if the game gets to the point where skill are useless and the game effectively becomes combat only then RS is going to die as the combat system is mind numbingly basic and everyone will just go to guild wars WoW etc
