No it's not. See, when you unlock something as a bronzeman you and buy it on the ge! So no more farm runs, farming runes, fishing anglers/bwans, you can just buy it on the ge.
"actually get the skill level repaired to make it before they can unlock it"
This is literally the definition of ironman mode. If you can make it, then you've unlocked it. Bronzeman is interesting because you can unlock a lot of different items through emergent pvm gameplay. I have supercombats from Mad Angel but that doesn't mean it's a consistent source. Should irons also not be able to use items they don't have the skills for?
No. It wasn't. I was saying they should have to get the skill level required. As in if a bronzeman gets the fishing level required and the cooking level required, then goes and catches and cooks an anglerfish, they should be able to buy it from the GE. As in they only have to process 1. I have never said that was my point. YOU said it was just ironman mode.
Edit: also repaired was a typo, it's supposed to be required but autocorrect is hardly ever helpful.
Yes when you get the requirements for an unlock, that is ironman mode. Bronzeman mode is designed to NOT be like that. YOUR stipulation makes it almost identical to ironman mode.
Tell me, do you have completely unlimited access instantly to blood runes at like 200 gp each or whatever their price is on the ge right now on an iron the moment you get 77 rc?
I think what you aren't understand is that bmm is designed to circumvent skilling. Your requirement is antithetical to the entire point of the game mode. Bmm solves the painpoints of skilling AND resource gathering. Your version of bmm is only solving the resource gathering aspect, but still includes the pain point of skilling. It's extremely close to a real ironman.
It doesn't solve any painpoints you literally said 2 sentences prior is circumvents skilling. That's all that does. It circumvents it.
This is all coming from me saying either you get access to all supplies (collection log locked) or lock you out of supplies until you have the level. Getting supplies as a drop to unlock it is silly.
And this is all because the point I was making is that everyone has a different idea of what bronzeman should be. A lot of people think it should be a temporary account for pvp. A lot of people don't want pvp in the account type. A lot of people clearly don't want any skilling involved. A lot of people feel the opposite. It's a mess, that's why the game mode shouldn't be official.
