hi! just a few thoughts on the EOC from a dedicated player of many years.Mark, in the transcript you were comparing players threatening to quit over the EOC, to players who quit over the friends list smileys being removed. With all due respect sir, the two issues are hardly comparable! a slight tweak to the friends list , versus what amounts to an ENTIRE game change? The issue for those of us logging time in the Beta servers is not a LACK of understanding the system, Its the system ITSELF. It appears as though the Runscape map has been applied to a completely different game.My focus today was on god wars bosses, and having spent MORE time there found the usual irritation that make the EOC unplayable. Still have to spam the abilities to do more than tickle a monster. folks if thats what this community was looking for, we would be playing WOW, not RS!The live game AT THE MOMENT differentiates itself from games such as World of War Craft , or even Dragon Age (all games in which the focus is on ability bars). The issue boils down to this for me, (and a significant amount of my friends list) While the EOC might be an "OK" game, it is not worth paying for if combat is your focus. After playing the Beta for several days in July and being thoroughly disappointed, I quit RS only to return a few weeks ago upon being informed by a friend that the EOC was delayed. After logging more time on the Beta servers this week my opinion unfortunately remains the same. However I am NOT completely writing off the game yet. Many of us look forward to seeing some MASSIVE changes to the EOC before delivering our final verdict. Appreciate your time and consideration

OK I have two questions/comments. Please read all the way through!!
1. My friend and I decided to have a range duel using the exact same equipment (pernix and a zaryte bow). My levels are: 99 ranged, 95 hp, and 85 def. His levels are 80 ranged, 86 hp, and 80 def. The rules were simple...only use auto attacks. After about 5 duels I was left absolutely befuddled. My friend had defeated me all five times! Sadly enough, this was not the first time that this had happened to me. After dueling many people I had found that I was defeated by many lower level players and I had defeated many higher level players. It just seems to me that the system is a little unfair. I can understand if I just suck at using abilities, but the auto attack duel situation made no sense to me. I think that the eoc combat is a little too ability based. Someone who is 50 levels lower than me should not be able to defeat me when he is just a little bit better than me at using his abilities. Don't get me wrong I'm not a sore loser, it's just a bit ridiculous how big of a difference abilities make in a fight.
2. In regards to your comment about adding more bosses, thank you! My only request is that you consider adding some more bosses that are soloable for people who are not maxed combat and are still profitable. Not all of us have a full friends list of people who are eager to go bossing all the time!
Also, thank you for your hard work in trying to make this work. I think the eoc has a lot of potential. Please take your time in perfecting it because if you ***** it up some of your most loyal players may end up unhappy. Thank you
