Its gonna be a hate post, so buckle up and be calm :O.

Dont get me started on this sailing mechanic that plays like a game in 2005 in free website gaming, no one would play it in 2025....... And i rather just sail in sailing games where its way better then osrs.

The methods are so bad, other then Barracuda trail, and Barracuda trail is so boring after 4-5 times, and there were way more diffrent races in a 2004 sailing games. the box shipping is so weird, so clunky and not fun.... Clicking on the flag on inventory to sail a bit faster and get xp, honestly the most boring mechanic out there.

How do people think its good? I feel like its the same people who just vote yes for everything :(

Well finished my rage ;), what about good things about sailing? I guess content.....

It's top notch. Those who just want to be smol beans chilling with their chonkerinos and insist their hecking nostalgiarinos be pure as m'lady herself can go tip their fedoras on over to a private server. Make sure not to come back.

If you thought Summoning 2 or The Other One were going to be better skills, you do not know ball. It is a bona-fide Old-School skill, and the only thing incongruous about it is that it's fun.

This is a slow and boring game and that's part of the appeal. If you think the core gameplay loop of Sailing is boring, try doing some Fletching or Smithing without any other stimulation but the game music. If you think it's too much like a minigame, go do some Farming, the literal Herblore minigame that was made solely to be a dailyscape chore that would increase login counts. It fits Old School better than some aspects of Old School do.

tl;dr fits OSRS like a glove, landlubbers maldin

Truuuue, slow basic skills is perfect for osrs! I think an "idle" skill would be game award winner
