i am suprised by the results of this pole i thought a lot more people would choose summoning because it adds an unfair advantage to the game because there could be a level 100 with 80 summoning and then a lvl 100 with 1 summoning but with summoning the lvl 100 with sommong could be like a lvl 200 and the lvl 100 with summoning would obviuosly loose with this unfair advantage

The first one that comes to mind is firemaking. It could be of some use at the Shades of Mort'ton - especially at level 80 - or that minigame where You have to light all those torches or whatever, but outside of that it's a waste of time/logs.

I would have to say that Thieving is the most pointless skill in Runescape. All you people saying Firemaking is the most pointless aren't thinking about if there are no ranges around, you can't cook your food, if there are trees around, which there are, almost everywhere, you can make a fire with either a tinderbox or a bow and cook your food. Thieving has no real point. Most of the things you can steal aren't really worth it, along with fact that it isn't really used anywhere else in game. That is why I think Thieving is the most pointless skill.

Firemaking but thieving is a close second.

I actually lol'ed when I saw that the person who thought you had to alch at patches all day got banned.... would not suprise me if that was Shane's doing. Anyway, I say firemaking. The rest of them at least have a concept that distinguishes them from other skills.

I say Firemaking, it's a really nice skillcape and all, but it's just no use. The only useful thing is that you can get Inferno Adze after 92. Nothing more.

How does it give an unfair advantage when in risk PvP, your combat level is displayed as level without summoning? XD (138 is displayed like 126+12)

Anyways, thieving is supposed to be quite okay money thieving elves. Nothing amazing, but at least similar gp/hour to fishing monkfish. Although, I've never done it and haven't known anyone who has done it extensively without bug abusing, so I can't really comment. But it is definitely not boring.
(I also made like 5M+ from getting 99 thieving. Beat thaaaaaaat with agility)

Your poll combines boring with pointless, so it is hard to choose. Firemaking, whether pointless or not, is not really that boring; though, I do seem no motivation to use the rest of the logs for 99. (Oh, and I'm not sure if people are commenting on the uselessness of firemaking by saying it is only useful until the adze level, but you need lvl 92 for the adze... most skills do not even go that high? xd)

I voted agility on the list because of the boring aspect, combined with getting really high levels for shortcuts probably isn't worth the time compared to going around (I did get 70 a lonnnng time ago for blue dragons short cut, which I never even used). And there is not much else to agility beside those?

Most boring candidates for me not on the poll are runecraft, agility, mining, and slayer(/combat), in that order. Most pointless idk, I think all skills have their worth by just being a skill.

Firemaking by a landslide. No skill is as pointless as firemaking. There is no practical application. When do you ever have raw food in your inventory that you need cooked because you need health, and you also happen to have a tinderbox and some logs? Be honest..

Summoning is a bit pointless and definitely way boring. You should be able to use your familiar anywhere, not just multi-way combat.
Agility makes everything slightly easier by allowing you to run farther and also take some convenient shortcuts.
Herblore has many useful potions.
Farming is good for growing herbs.
Thieving can get a decent amount of cash with pyramid plunder, but other than that is pointless.

Firemaking is definately the most useless skill I would say. Even with the arguement of using logs to cook food, why not just use normal logs? What reason is there to train all the way to 99 (cept for the cape

)
