-Communication

This is the biggest step in helping the game grow. As your players, we will immediately recognize when something does not work or when an update changes something that we do not like, thus players will express severe dislike. When you shut us out of content or when you force content without us knowing, it’s really a 50/50 whether it will be a hit or not.

-Soloman’s/Squeal

All I ask is that we tone down the focus on these two, as they should never take precedence over main game updates. I would like to see more weekend deals coupled with some community events, rather than just straight-up deals. Also, keep the updates to about 1-2 every couple of months. Due to Soloman’s Store, the Loyalty Programme has been pushed to the backburner. Introduce more rewards for the Loyalty Programme as well as general updates to the game.

The Soloman hairstyles? Could be either general updates or quest rewards/minigame rewards rather than paid content. Same with the costumes and other cosmetics. The different forms of skill gathering could be related to a minigame as well. You can also migrate some of the Soloman items to the Loyalty Programme, such as the bank boosters. Try to leave out content that seems pay-to-win such as the pets that actually help in combat.

-Promotions

We don’t really need more promotions, but we could definitely use more organized events in-game to get the sense of community back into the game.

-Bots

Those darn programs that have plagued most of our Runescape careers and made most lives miserable. Number 1 focus next to reworking the EOC. I’m sure by now you know the player’s opinion, so I won’t dwell on it as I share most of the same views.

-Game updates

I would actually prefer less in-my-face updates every week if it meant we got one really good quest every month or so. It may seem slow for some, but I believe most would like to actually finish a quest before a new one is introduced. For WoW, it usually takes months between content patches so that everyone has time to try the new content. And as I stated earlier, include us in some of the decisions. Guaranteed content polls were amazing because I could feel like I was putting something into the game for others to see.

-EOC

Finally I reach the biggest update to ever grace the world of Gielinor, the Evolution of Combat. This was much more than just a combat rework, it was in truth a rework of Runescape. It affected much more than just combat, in good ways and bad. My opinion is that it should be removed temporarily and re-implemented in stages. When EOC was first announced, I fully supported the idea and saw the potential for it.

When beta came out, it was really different then what I imagined. For many players, it was too much of a shock and they simply quit. I also believe it was too much to roll out at once. Taken in increments and with player interaction, the devastation could have been reduced. I understand that this was your first real try at a beta, but content needs to take time and not be rushed. When I logged onto Runescape after the release of EOC, I took a look around, noticed a lot had changed, and quickly logged out. Runescape had become something I no longer knew, and it was frightening.

The EOC has great potential, but until that potential is fully realized and integrated in a near-flawless way, most players will not take a second look after they walked away.

To Players

Everyone has an opinion and they all matter. We all love this game for very same and very different reasons. I don’t believe any of us really want this game to die, and for many of us it seems that way right now. The game has seen a steady decline in the past couple of years, and it seems all hope is lost in this final stretch. However, there is always hope. We all need to work together to make this game the best it can be.

-----

In Closing

We all have a long and bumpy road ahead of us. I truly believe Mark and the rest of the Mods need our support now more than ever. We need to be that beloved community from the good ol’ days when we were all newbies. Thank you all for your patience in reading this, and keep on ‘Scaping!

Please REFINE the EOC by removing it completly, Your 4 month data pole is full of bad data, Thousands and Thousands of players never got to say that they dont! want~! IT

"We have a team of developers dedicated to listening to your feedback and making the on-going improvements required."

There are online petitions, and too many posts to count on the fourms begging for the Removal of the EOC.

If you can't remove it Please give us 2004-2007 servers!

The Players are screaming for you to listen. ARE YOU? Report the WBM'S - Do not try to pretend to be a Forum moderator only posts with a green border on them are those of a Forum Moderator and itll be very obvious if you do!"It's against the forum rules. Simple as that.

Back in 2009 when I first laid out my plans for the game and the company, I pledged that we would start talking to you guys, and keep you in the loop after a decade of secrecy. For the first time ever, we started talking about some of the projects we were working on and the type of stuff we wanted to do for the community. Looking back over the past four years, I think we can say we have made a ton of progress in our communications. Recent initiatives like the live streams have been really well received and - from your feedback - it sounds like you'd like to see more of these happen. Nevertheless, I know that we can be far clearer and more consistent in how we talk to you, and this is going to be a big focus in 2013.

On the 26/01/2013 i sent email to jagex asking them about the bots at Brutal green dragons and the grotworm bots and as of yet i have received no reply, Numerous forum posts from members still you stay silent, numerous reporting of these bots in game, nothing. Oh yeah thanks for talking to us guys.
