I'm curious how the OSRS community feels like with the addition of the new skill Sailing. I personally think it's amazing to have a own ship etc but I'm kinda worried about the viable ways of training and how the OSRS team will deal with keeping the sailing skill fun to go through and please let it not be another mindless grind.

What do you guys think about the sailing skill?

LOL

Is this something they are seriously going to do? I may as well quit now.

Its announced officially.

im confused... is all of runescape not a mindless grind?
Not excited about it tbh but oh well....

Yes and no, in general yes rs has alot of mindlessness to it. But the addition of certain minigame style things and bosses definitely made the choice of a more engaging way to lvl up. Now I'm not saying it isn't for the majority still mindless but I would like to see more of this active gameplay

Mobile game for a skill. Worthless. But gotta 99 it now

Doesn't want a mindless grind when basically everything besides Slayer is a mindless grind lol

I was quite adamant(ly) against it (pun intended), but as they've released information, it's clear they've taken player concerns into account to a very high degree; especially the concern about it being basically a minigame (dungeoneering or ports pt2 from rs3). From the "ideas" they've put out so far, including the **vast** systems (even going so far as to consider a sailing raid, for example) for the future - I think they've done a stellar job.
So I'd say, I'm currently quite excited - and that's a huge 180 from my extremely pessimistic past attitude about it.
