Kids just need big numbers. Dumbest update in the history of runescape. Soul wars is the new pest contol. Its faster than pest contol since they nerfed it. Teams are stacked though so pest control is still the better game. Stealing creation is good too because of the rewards. Dungeoneering is the newest skill, its combat based so it may be fun for you. It will unlock the best weapons in the game for you so its very useful. Summoning is a money sink that caters to skilling and frankly its just something to do. Its rewards are dubious if you consider the time/gp investment to get them. Banking with a yak is about the pinnacle of summoning. Quests, there are always new quests upon new quests. Shoot for the grandmaster ones they generally have big payouts. Caters to skilling for summoning? Are we playing the game... Bunyip, beast of burdens, titans and other fighting familers have altered how people fight things. Don't see how you say it caters to skilling, there are some skilling familers, but quite honestly they don't even come close to the benefit of the combat orriented ones. And beast of burdens fall under both catagories really. On another note best bet to get back into the game is just start making your dailies task list. Plan a daily farming run, buy and sell runes, battlestaffs, etc. for some money, and definitly make sure you are doing Manage Thy Kingdom.
