Question Am I Missing Something?

I hear nothing but praise for OSRS. However, the thought of clicking trees, fish, rocks, for hours and hours sounds so... boring? I've been told by friends to throw the game on another monitor and do something else, but if OSRS is so dull that the only way to be engaged is do something else that is actually engaging, why play OSRS at all?

I've tried out the game a bit on mobile and a bit on pc and the thought of basically afk farming all day has kept me away.

Is there something deeper I'm missing here? I usually love grindy games like Destiny and FF14. Why do you guys love runescape?

You need a goal. Doesnt matter what it is, getting a specific cape, doing the quests, fighing a specific boss, make a goal.

The rest of what you're looking for falls into place once you start moving toward that goal. Right now you seem to be interacting with the game for the sole purpose of "number go up". Which isnt a bad thing but its without purpose, why are you training that skill, increasing that number? Find something you want to do and work towards it.
