I have always played Runescape as a skiller first. I love woodcutting specifically so Forestry was what really pulled me back into OSRS. I have been an advocate for the skills and saw how PvM basically reduced skilling to a quest requirement because it tanks the value of all skilling supplies, to a far bigger extent than bossing. I knew this from looking at loot tables though as I never really dabbled into bossing myself much.
Now with leagues, granted with overpowered relics which makes killing bosses easier – though I am shit enough that a good PvMer probably gets close to my average clears – I saw how many supplies a lot of these bosses print. When I needed something I would go on the wiki, realised a boss dropped stupid amounts of it and just go kill that boss instead of chopping logs for hours.
I feel like loot tables need to change drastically to even have a chance to revive skilling as a viable alternative to PvM, as the game as is seems very much set up as a funnel into PvM and then never looking back at the humble times of chopping willows.
