I think it has something to do with you as a person if you have people who mess up your firemaking exp. Never ever has it happened to me. + i could probably think of 15 different places to train firemaking so "we no longer have w2" reason is just bullshit.
Plenty of locations to inefficiently train firemaking, only really one where you can access a bank right at the end of your line. It happens to me almost every time I train.
"group skilling" isn't becoming a thing either because if i understand correctly then everyone can simply have their own bonfire anywhere..
Fair enough. Could have the exp increase based on the amount of people throwing logs onto the fire. That's how rs does it anyways. Of course this would have a cap and not scale too high. Could also limit it to certain locations where there's already a fire to throw your logs onto, rs has a few of these as well.
Firemaking rn is already one of the quickest skills to get 99, i don't think it needs to be more afkable..
It's about 5m an hour burning magic logs, while it's certainly not the slowest there are skills that'll give you more exp/h and are more afkable. If you're referring to the early levels, yeah those are pretty fast.
Woodcutting is not tedious at all, specially after magic trees were added to barbarian..
Trees being at barb doesn't make much of a difference, they're about as close to a bank as the ones in rimmington.
What i wouldn't mind seeing is bonfires becoming available to players after reaching 99 firemaking and wearing a forester cape. You could get your exp and i wouldn't have to bitch about skilling becoming too fast
A higher req could work, wouldn't say 99 but it could be something like log level + 5/10/15. I wouldn't mind item or processing requirements for it either.
