I like mining/smithing because when I first started playing RS, it was because a few of my friends irl told me about how cool it was, and they all had high woodcutting/firemaking levels, because that's all they really trained. I decided, maybe if I do a lot of mining/smithing, I'll be so much better than them; my friends all quit rs later that year , but I stayed and continued to like mining and smithing.
