1. It will fuck with skillers
2. There are people with dozens of thousand is logs and probably even plank already. It would be extremely unfair for people who haven't collected any yet or have yet to join this game, implying Emps even gains new players.
3. Why do you keep thinking that construction is any special from any other skill? With your logic, every runite rock should have at least 1000 squares between them because otherwise smithing would be too easy. If the same logic was applied to woodcutting, firemaking and fletching, we wouldn't have any forests in this game.
The logs cannot be used as themselves. They require effort from the players to be turned into planks which also costs money. Sure there is plank make but in RS one casts means one plank, and that actually means less planks per hour than simply running to the sawmill and it takes runes in addition to money. This can of course be changed by making each cast of plank make turn multiple logs into planks but it will still take effort to make a large number of planks.
4. I'm sure planks and logs will be added to the drop tables of new monsters in the future, but that will actually make gathering planks easier unlike you said on SB. From OSRS we can definitely see that Zulrah crashed the prices of a lot of supplies. We should avoid making mistakes like that instead of trying to replicate them knowing that they will result into a shitty outcome. Imagine of people begun to kill Kree'arra in Emps purely for bowstrings and crushed nests. Armadyl pieces and the rest of the drops would become worthless (oh wait they already are).
5. ''Hurrdurr emps should be hard cuz rs is hard too''
RS is an extremely easy game in terms of gathering supplies. Making planks in both versions of the game is profitable because of the over-supply of the logs there is. The trees are extremely close to a bank and Zulrah drops a lot while also being the most popular and one of the easiest bosses in the game once you memorize the rotations. In RS3 the logs are a common drop from a buttload of slayers monsters. In addition to that teak and mahogany planks are some of the more common RDT drops that can be dropped by any monster. There are also portable sawmills which let you make planks at a bank without having to move a square and that shit is over 4M money/hour.
Also, clicking on your screen multiple times for a long time isn't hard unless you're mentally challenged. It's boring as fuck.
6. If you think that people criticizing your ideas is ''dramatic'' in some way, shape or form, you should seriously stop suggesting things. The same applies if you don't want to receive critique from a specific person or a specific group of people. That makes you appear extremely weak and pathetic to the rest of the community.
So no. The logs shouldn't be hard to get, because getting the logs isn't the actual skill we are about to get. If you want THE SKILL to be harder then you should probably just suggest the XP rates to not be made too ridiculously fast.
