Salvage was probably a mistake but it’s to late remove it now

Discussion

I know everyone is loving salvaging (I’m doing it too) but there’s no denying it basically makes all the other methods irrelevant,(besides trials if you want to put in 100% attention for best xp, but let’s be honest most of us are parked at salvages). It’s just basically fishing but on a boat at this point lol, we are barely ever “sailing”. I sat at mercenaries from 73-80 without moving my boat at all, then 80-87 at fremennik again without moving, and now I’m going to be sitting at merchants from 87-99. It probably shouldn’t have been part of sailing, or at least been way worse xp, but obviously they can’t take it away after they already let us get used to it (as we have seen over the past couple of days), there’s no putting the genie back in the bottle at this point. I guess they just spent 90% of those 3 years of development trying to make the boats move lol, because I don’t know how they thought nearly 100k an hour afking was appropriate, when basically all the other afk skill variants are half that, unless they never really tested it.

This will probably get downvoted into oblivion but again I want to reiterate, I am salvaging also, I’m not saying they should nerf or remove it (it’s too late) but it shouldn’t have launched so OP to begin with, we are basically training fishing but on a boat, with better xp rates
