As much as I love to be skeptical, irritable and sarcastic, I'm genuinely glad to see some official acknowledgement of the general misery and dissatisfaction on the part of a lot of players. I personally couldn't care less about the SoF and SGS, I feel that the amount of money people would need to spend to get a genuine advantage over other non-paying players is so much that they're effectively financing updates for me to enjoy, so it cancels out.

Regarding EoC, I think you did a fine job, although I'm still unsure how some things went under the radar despite the amount of testing that went on. For example, the combat triangle is weighted too heavily on defence -- I was dungeoneering yesterday (95 attack, 99 strength) and it took me 3 deaths to kill a level 198 lesser demon (now magic type) simply because I could not hit, at all. I never die dungeoneering so this to me indicates a real need to rebalance defence's place in the PvM combat triangle, although I do appreciate what has been done to make defence a viable skill to train in comparison to what it was before.

Finally, bots. These are appalling and everyone knows they ruin the game. I'm heartened to see some decent statistics, but the lack of Mod presence in heavily bot-populated areas is concerning. I recall one bot I reported tens of times over a month or two to no avail. Everyone and their grandmother could see the guy in a D Med with an adamant shield and granite top was a bot, except apparently the botting software or whoever it was that reviewed the reports. This is demoralising for an actual player who has to bear the consequences of a bot-dominated economy, when you have to watch your work be cancelled out by the unreal inflation caused by having a team of literally thousands of bots pumping items into the game.

This is the area that begs improvement. I wish you luck in the "parallel measures" (court cases?) but in the mean time I beseech you, have Mods do their job.

Thanks,
J

WoW ,.,mmg this post makes you seem very naive.

Have you ever truly listened to the players? Because i think your too busy counting all the money from sof/sgs.

Responding to the " Evolution of Combat " segment in ur post.

Are you really that stupid to believe players JUST DON'T LIKE new things????????

I love new things AND find the Eoc boring and lack of challenge.I think you really need to logg in to your personal account and go try the EoC in pvp in minigames/Wildly....BECAUSE NOONE pvp-pks ANYMORE.It not because ppl hate change, Its because the Eoc is bad and very boring(poor game design).

I could tell you wats wrong with EoC, but clearly you wouldn't care.


AnD Beware MMG reading these ALL these posts on this thread because most of them have little to no game time played IN RUNESCAPE(they don't understand what a "Multiplayer game" is about(Its about pvp duh) and clearly you/mod mark don't either-).,You can suck all the $$$ from addicted players with micro-trans but this has no future if NOONE WANTS TO PVP.


This game needed a change but the Eoc is 100xtimes more glitched and boring then the old system...I'd say remove it but clearly you believe ppl will adapt(u and mod mark are DEAD WRONG)2013 will be the year you offer non-stop emotes/pets and more fake virtual items for $$$ instead of making fun and interactive gameplay.., :|

6W2 no worries, always here to help, and even if they did make a server..they will not get that many users... just look at classic, only 20 or so max on a server. its not the fact that people quit because runescape got updated, they quit for other reasons.

To be quite honest, I wouldn't mind free trade going away. With the grand exchange, we don't really need it. I thought it would be amazing having it return, but after leaving the game for a while, and then returning, having free trade back has changed the economy a lot, and not in a good way.

Removing free trade again will help with RWT, gambling, scamming, poor economy...the list goes on. I would fully support this.

Seems like a lot of promises going on here and I hope you're not just getting our hopes up.

Will the first of the new skills be released or announced soon?

Master
Nathan Here
I must say I always love to hear from 10 year veterans but when they say things and want me to listen to them since they are a 10 year vet I must laugh when they do it on a account that say 2012
BTW I do agree that there will be no non eoc worlds but I don't claim to be more than I am and do so on a 2012 account it tends to make people think that you really don't have 10 years or know what you are saying about the history of this game
In my 7 years on this account I have seen lots of changes many I have liked many not so much but I have realized jagex does what they want
