Saving is a somewhat controversial topic, although anyone with any power or influence is strongly on the "Lolno" side of things.

The ten minute save is certainly very primitive (tools, stored things, boats, and most valuable backpack items are all lost), although it's better than nothing (which is what I and many other veterans had to put up with when we started playing).

A permanent skill save would defy the point of skills, as their main purpose was to stop people from heading straight to the mithril mine on entry and making a full set of mithril tools instantly, which a skill save would allow.
