I can't wait for Guild wars 2 either, what with the recent lack of decent updates and the SoF updates EVERY week I can't see myself playing this much longer.
Also in regards to this news post its just JaGeX trying to get their PR up since the sof destoryed it all, so expect to see lots more dev time wasted on stupid visits like this.
I still don't understand why you won't give us a referendum, if your so positive that people want the BETA combat that you have nothing to lose do you? It would be fine if there wasn't such stupid life point boosts and the spell-book was the same as the old one.
You have killed F2P clanning with this, will be incredibly difficult for mages to bind the person being piled, and will be incredibly easy for people to tank/drag.
Ever since the US company took over Jagex, its been more about raking in the money then the welfare of the players.
