It is interesting to consider the gloves vs chaotics dilemma. I'm not sure how balanced the time between getting gloves and chaos are. Certainly the quests or combat levels require you to RuneScape Gold have more skills than normal on a great team, you could reach chaos with only an excellent combat skill.

However, they do require an enormous amount of effort. It's possible that they've misbalanced this bit of content, though it's equally possible that 90+ weapons with even more demanding requirements are just right around the corner...though those would have been hyped in the HTML5 blog.

A chaotic is still one of the best weapons in the game, but not the most effective in game. If you're not involved in PvP/M circles, it's not as if you're to be 'go thought'. However, I think a lot chaotics do that. The process of getting those gloves isn't easy either, from what I've heard, though it's not as difficult as a skill.

Jagex is moving slowly towards implementing your intriguing suggestion of getting rid competition. The new hunter DnD moths were instanced per player, and once you did that, you could have private hunting areas. The bonfires removed competition and indeed encouraged players to train with other players. Runespan asks players to work together to find runespheres, which could be required because of its latest upgrade.

If I was the person in charge of the overall strategy for skill development, I would be working to implement a policy that would increase the frequency of Buy OSRS Fire Cape skill-based updates. This is skills that are more dependent on ability than time. Agility, for instance, will be redesigned so that the majority of courses would offer more than the default route. There would also be the possibility to run faster if you had the ability at the skill.
