Skilling is oversaturated? Consider counting how many bosses there are

I might be reaching, but he might be saying there are too many very strong afk methods nowadays. Back in the day, woodcutting yews was afk and the trees would randomly fall. Regular fishing was afk and it wasn't that long that you could actually afk. There was no afk mining or runecraft. Etc. etc.

Nowadays we have 30 minute afk (for really bad xp I know) salvaging, 7 minutes redwood 7 to like 3 minute afk bwans, afk mining methods, zeah rc... stuff like that.

I personally love afk skilling, but I can understand where he's coming from and he might be saying that skilling is becoming very afk

All afk methods are strictly worse than playing actively. Anyone doing them is being inefficient and hurting their own progress.

With that in mind, if someone want to do them, they are the one and only content in the game they have absolutely 0 reason to do.

Right, but when methods are as afk as they are, people don't talk nearly as much. Makes the game a little less social which is sad. That's the only bit I don't like.

I will say however, that the conversations in modern day rs are weird as hell most of the time.

CCs are always popping off I find.

I just swapped ccs the other day. The new cc pops off way harder than the old one.

However, I don't have clogs to get afk skilling and I'm maxed. Nobody gzs me on my fishing bro :(

skilling sure. Combat on the other hand, was ruined by being able to go to sleep and train for 6 hours in NMZ, as well as things like splashing on a rat for 6 hours. People got 99 all combat stats effortlessly.

My comment only pertains to afk skilling methods, the topic of conversation

Imagine not understanding the concept of an analogy

u/Ocarious Jul 28 '26

He said skilling is oversaturated. Im not talking about skilling. And bossing is a stupid comparison. There are very few bosses that feel anything alike, where every single afk method feels the exact same because it is by definition click and walk away.

u/PracticalLychee180 Jul 28 '26

The analogy is to something else oversaturated, not to something else afk. Jesus, im sorry your reading comprehension is lackluster but I was able to understand his analogy perfectly fine

u/Ocarious Jul 28 '26

Yeahhh, did you read my full comment? I also replied to his analogy since my original reply displeased you. Bossing isnt oversaturated.

u/PracticalLychee180 Jul 28 '26

So you failed to understand the analogy, then replied to me, not OP, to their analogy, by missing the point of the analogy. Cool. Bossing can be oversaturated without feeling like afk, so your comment misses the point by pretending that it isnt oversaturated BECAUSE its not like afk activities

u/Ocarious Jul 28 '26

I deadass dont know if you understand English. Read my reply. My point is bossing does not in any way feel oversaturated. Afk skilling, to me, feels like there is an option for every skill, which is too much.

u/PracticalLychee180 Jul 28 '26

I dont even buy that you believe this nonsense. Whats an actual afk method for Runecraft?

1

u/Iron_Aez 2376 Jul 28 '26

Silly pedantry but sure

Afk skilling is oversaturated? Consider counting how many bosses there are

u/Ocarious Jul 28 '26

Bosses are for the most part different experiences which doesnt make it feel overcrowded, afk skilling is all the exact same click and walk away

u/Iron_Aez 2376 Jul 28 '26

lol. lmao even.

2

u/Ocarious Jul 28 '26

You think we have too many bosses?

u/Sleazehound Jul 28 '26

There used to be a few afk skills, now most of the em do. What does that have to do with bossing lmao

2

u/Iron_Aez 2376 Jul 28 '26

God forbid the sandbox has options.

At least until you get to endgame and there's nothing except oversaturation of bossing.

1

u/Sleazehound Jul 28 '26

The thing is the game wasn’t supposed to be sandbox with 30 minute afk for most skills. In the next few years we can guarantee that’ll be all skills.

God forbid some people have the preference for the game to remain somewhat true to its roots

Whats your obsession with bossing lmao thats two in a row youve brought it up unrelated hahaha smhmh

1

u/Iron_Aez 2376 Jul 28 '26

hahaha smhmh if you talk about afk being "oversaturated" (literally impossible btw) then ofc the actual oversaturated content deserves being bought up.

1

u/Sleazehound Jul 28 '26

Okay so in the same breath you say CONTENT A (skilling) cannot be oversaturated but LOOK, CONTENT B (bossing) is!!!!!!111!!!

So which one dawg? You can see content CAN be oversaturated, but your preference is the one that is while the content others say is oevrsaturated simply can't be?

You realise how stupid your angle is right

1

u/Iron_Aez 2376 Jul 28 '26

afking cannot be oversaturated because it is completely optional, it is objectively and fully disadvantageous to progression to spend any time on it compared to active alternatives (which there ALWAYS are).

There are no real alternatives to bossing in the endgame, just vast ever-ballooning grind. Hence: oversaturated.

2

u/Sleazehound Jul 28 '26

Are you genuinely saying remote desktopping stars for 7 mins at a time is fully disadvantageous to the alternative of powermining when you get at home? If every skills has one or more new afk methods that havent existed in the prior decade ofcourse the game will become bloated with these giga low effort, medium yield activities....

Choosing to afk is ofcourse optional but levelling isn't... it's definitely something you MUST engage with if you want to do higher end quests, diaries, etc, whereas there's absolutely zero obligation to do any bosses at any particular time, especially if you're a main. There's people who don't even boss or raid or even do combat, how are you saying it's mandatory?

Explain to me how the game could have 30 different bosses and be oversaturated, but having 30 afkable skills isn't? You don't get to arbitrarily determine what is what HAAHAAH
