I looked at RS gold it from Rskingdom's blog

What it actually amounted to once I looked at RS gold it, performed with it and saw what was entailed... was that skill was nothing more than a"ability" put into place in order to give all the obsessive/compulsives some thing to do after they'd done everything else to perform under the RS sunlight. Can you say... degree 120 anybody?!? The fear at the time was that level 120 was likely to become the new norm for all skills but for those of us who were still sane and exercised common sense logic, we saw nothing more than the empty shell with a great paint job.

Let's face it... dumb clicking to level some abilities to 99 was already bad enough but if you wanted it all then that's what you did. Besides getting some items to show off like capes and the like... titles... yada-yada-yada... being on the top page of the hi-scores table... or about the respective skills tables meant you're"the top" and ought to be worshipped. Or be highly considered. Adults understood it was only hours of your actual life invested in a game clicking away ad nauseam. Anyone remember Zezima worship? A small army of followers a fall-fall-following him anyplace. OMG times three!! Get a lifetime nooblets!

The purpose is that in many ways a number of the abilities became worthless once you attained a certain degree though I will concede Jagex made some type of effort to change that over time with new content. The thought was to make them enjoyable again or for there to buy RuneScape gold be some point. Observation: a great deal of this content was also pointless or downright dumb! Oops! So much for change.
