Should of spoke up when 120 slayer was coming around, 120 all is inevitable now.
Agreed.
Yet we had all the combat skills in game for years before summoning so why wouldn't they go up first. Obviously because Jagex just want money and don't care about runescape so they don't listen when you speak up regardless.

So whats the point in arguing if you know jagex wont listen?
I would only agree to 120 summoning with a full rework, if not, there's literally no point if they just boost to 120 and add like 5-10 more things that are just slightly stronger than what we have currently.

A full rework would probably be best, but I don't agree with the mass grind. It's summoning that we're talking about. With the current XP rates, it is extremely fast (even with getting charm, which you get from slayer anyway) to get 200m and Lv120.
And with new pouches (which I am certain that will be added), it will only be faster.
Hopefully Jagex will introduce some nice item/gold sinks with this update and for once, do something with skilling and not everything with PvM in mind.
Agreed.
With getting charms summoning exp is not that good. I don't know why people always consider training as just running to the obelisk. There is an aspect of collecting money as well. All of it adds up.
Jagex already introduced an items sink in the form of invention. Now I can't get half the items from ge, because they are extremely low volume. Great to flip but awful to buy.
Hopefully what jagex does is realise that the skill is complete, do some balancing here and there. Release a few familiars between 1-99 and leave it alone. Because if they are gonna pour resources into making 120, we will be missing out on good content.
The reason people consider only training it as running to the obelisk is because you should be getting charms while doing other things, when you go hunting for charms, you're also training combat skills/getting money from killing monsters etc, you're not ONLY getting the charms. That being said it does take time still to collect them.

Because those other combat skills are F2P. Combat xp rates are WAY lower there, same goes for Prayer. If those skills were bumped to 120, paying members who spend the time to get those to 120(as well as those who already have done so) would have a statistical advantage in F2P PvP, as F2Pers, including pure F2P players(they do exist), would have an incredibly hard time cranking those skills up to 120. It's hard enough for them to get those skills to 99. If such skills were bumped to 120 without some sort of solution for F2Pers, goodbye F2P. Which is bad as F2P is important; without it, many of us wouldn't be here now. If Jagex were to raise the other combat skills to 120, they would need to implement a functional cap of 99 in F2P worlds, just to ensure fairness. Even for those pure F2P players who don't bother with PvP. It would be an insult to make their achievements worthless. They struggled to get those skills to 99.
One would assume combat would then be capped at 126 in f2p as it is now but I think that should be up to the f2p community. I know there are large numbers of f2p with very high combat xp.
Summoning definitely is a tricky one, I like the idea of 120 in it for sure, new familiars sound good to me.
But like the dude above me said, for those who do not have 120 already, the charms will take a while to rack up, I can imagine a lot of comp capers being upset about it.
120 slayer has not gotten me close to enough charms for 120 summoning either. Just my thoughts anyway, i don't mind either way.

Considering compers already have gotten enough charms for 120 and 200m as is, i dont see any reason for them to be upset.
