1. EoC was one of the best updates that have happened to RuneScape. It brought a completely fresh combat system which was needed in the game, because with the old combat system, Jagex could not add or make any new changes to it, add new things to it and the system would of been the same for years to come, they had to make such a change, now they can make hundreds of new attachments to current system, and make it better, rememeber, this is just the start of the new system, they wil be adding various changed to it.

2. SoF and SGS were made for Jagex to get an income from players which would help them develop the game for years to come, during their livestream on YouTube (if you haven't watched it I recommend you go and watch it) they've dedicated that livestream talking purely about SoF and SGS, and they've said that with the money that they've gained from these mico payments, they are able to develop big things on RuneScape, and one of them is coming this year - RS3. I know that most of us, players, don't like these micro payment additions, but they are needed for the game to develop, Mark mentioned that if these 2 updates would of not been brought into the game and would of not brought them the money to evolve the game so much, the game would off been gone by this day.

Here is a tip for anyone person that wants to make a difference in the game and community.

Make a good forums post using the collective in-game players thoughts on the issue that the community wants to address.
This of course also means you have to try and get the same players to help with posting support on the thread that relates to this change wanted.
Only a well thought out and detailed thread will really make a large mark on any issue. This has to be real info not just a single player thinking it is wanted.

I have done this already on a couple small topics. It is not to hard to use the clan system to join a clan as a Guest and get permission to ask the group what they think. Most clans do allow guest to enter , but not all.

Also, if you have only a little time, then make sure you support threads that already focus on the topic/issue.

If I only had time..I would do this. irl > rsl

Everytime i see an update in the main page, i know it's a step forward to getting worse. Those updates are terrible, Runescape is just growing into World of Runecraft.. I play now only because it USED to be fun, not because it IS... It shouldn't be that hard to notice that RuneScape is loosing players pretty fast. Back in 2008 or 2006, there was twice more f2p worlds than there are now, and they were two times more full than they are now. So, i see your progress of loosing players only. I'm playing for like three weeks since i came back from a ~1 year break, i got used to the new system already which i don't like at all. I'm not talking about the anti-bot systems, those ar needed and bots should be out of the game, but because of those graphical, combat and all other kind of updates: I'm thinking of quiting again. Also, all my friends that used to play RuneScape already quitted, why? Because of those updates. I suggest you guys ask for a job at World of Warcraft or either bring the OLD, FUN RuneScape BACK!!

Also, a vote about when it was more fun; back in 2008 or now(2013) would do the trick. Try it, you'll see about your progress ;)

The question only remains....what is it that you do not like about the Eoc

This is the info that Jagex needs to improve it.

Button mashing...not really since I can beat the Fight Kiln with only clicking on the abilities.

Slayer = long task ....use momentum almost = to pre-Eoc

Pkin use to be about a players skill in combating...this has not changed
pkin change...only the u*balanced would win or the op-ed specials, now this is more balanced to be about a players skill / set up and timing.
Only issue I have seen that made a good point is more hidden combat lvls does equal a hidden and seemingly unbalanced fight.

The more Info Jagex has on where the true issues with Eoc is at , the more they can improve the system....soooo ..post detailed information to help.

I'm afraid I'm with Rs innit (page 7), in wishing the EoC would go away. I just don't understand it, so it's like being cut off from a whole aspect of the game. I've had to become a skiller without specifically wanting to.

Apologies as I know loads of people love it, but that's my contribution.

Hello Mark Gerhard, I've come back on RS to check a few things out (since my leave ofc).

Firstly I wanted to check the status of EOC (I'm still disappointed).

Secondly I wanted to check the player count (still reflects a huge amount of players not playing since shortly after the EOC update).

I wanted to see what was in the pipelines, as I don't just take a first glance at things and dismiss with simple assumptions... that is how I came to this post.

I read it entirely, though not all of it really matters to me.

It is good to see the communication statements and a few other things I noted. I see these as good steps forwards.

A closer look at the communication left me quite disappointed though Mark Gerhard.

Firstly, I know and read the feedback about EOC during before, during beta and after the update. It was increasingly negative and players felt that it was a very one sided decision. The numbers of active players have yet to come back to 60% from what I was used to playing with/seeing online.

I'm disappointed directly in what you said addressing these things Mark Gerhard, as it is the same attitude towards the situation.

There might not be many people complaining about EOC anymore, because most of them left... but I think it is a great lacking in communication or assessing, to have come to the conclusion that it was the transition that lead to the player leave count and unhappiness.

I was on the forums and on the game for several hours a day during the weeks shortly after, and I did not find that it was a transitional problem... but directly pointed out by the longer term players.... that it was mainly the concepts behind it.
The further I read into what you said, the more I realized you, Mark Gerhard, Have not communicated with these players over a Large period of time and then at best over road their voices with a misconception that is still proven in the stats.

[Edit]
Note: The Majority left is Still the Minority of RS players prior to EOC.

Well I'm not quite that age group (42), but I'm in no way techy either. If I get a chance to log on tonight after work I'll add you & see if you're online. Thanks for the offer.
