Alright guys. Time to sit down.

Why do the skills SmeltIron and SmeltGold exist if they;
0) Is useless to vanilla clients with no mods. (Counter argument: We have superheat for that.)
1) Can not be bound to items. (Seriously, WTF.)
2) Can not be *fully* used by macromods without being BANNED for using a skill?!?? (Okay, still WTF.)

From a player-perspective these skills are nearly useless because you have to literally type them out if you don't use mods. So, I have a few suggestions for you.

1) Allow us to legally smeltiron or smeltgold every 16 seconds (perfect amount to drain mana/stop mana gain) automatically with macromods.. as long as we're not AFK all night for hours. (maybe an auto-kick somehow?) Also to note: this still won't help vanilla clients.

2) Make them a passively enabled or passively disabled skill that stops mana gain but auto-smelts any iron ore, or gold ore in your inventory automagically. The reason: Because we can't be bothered to smelt 1,600 times when we are forced to type it out or press X key button 1600 times on rotation while trying to do other stuff, including idunno... THINK?

3) Make the skill WORTH TYPING OUT EVERY FRIGGEN 16 SECONDS. Use 100% mana if you want, I don't care nor give 2 dangs how you configure it, as long as it is VIABLE.. Make it smelt a crapload at a time and have it check each ingot for a chance to proc properly so people don't feel screwed out of double chance procs when you actually do smelt an entire stack with such a skill.

4) Remove the skill, and make it so miners passively have a scaling chance to double ironore and goldore when its mined, not bought. Yes, I know this would ruin the economy of buying and selling goldore, but let's be honest. Only people like firebus make goldore shops to buy each at 10.5c per, and gank ppl that try to use his shop ...by stabbing them. A lot.

5) Remove the skill. Add "SmeltChest". Use 100% mana. 20-hour cooldown. Smelt's all ORE in the chest and any double/chance procs are put into your inventory or dropped at your feet. (As long as you can't exploit this, it should be fine.) That way all max miners can just smelt a chest at a time each day until they've used their massive amounts of materials up so they can convert them into ingots and eventually blocks to save space.
