I enjoyed reading the article by Arceus about Runecrafting. He really addresses a major point, which is that Jagex is constantly trying to revisit ways to train skills, often at the expense of devaluing the skill. While I'm no skiller (level 80 Runecrafting is my 4th highest non-combat skill), I only ever enjoyed skills that weren't easy or that were social. Runecrafting was always something that had to be worked at. I think its important for Jagex to keep different skills at different levels of ease, and by evening the ease of training for all skills they are ruining a major portion of the game, prestige.
