No GE? This is like having to wilderness and we all know how much people LOVED bounty hunter.
Pay to vote? Seriously Jagex? You expect me to pay to vote for something that was already suggested prior to EoC enforcing, guess what ignored "OH YOU GET TO VOTE ON IT NOW!" meanwhile many things that were said as well as done didn't fix or solve the issue at all. Weapons still don't have their specials as in the previous things, combat is still pretty shallow compared to other MMO's it's currently trying to compete against as well as prior to this it still was and is to this day competing against them. What do other Pay to play, hell even F2P mmo's offer a better combat experience than this prior to EoC as well as after EoC's release it still can't deliver a semi decent/entertaining combat experience. Once you hit a certain level you can't get a single new skill at all. On the other MMO's there's loads of skills to be learned as well as improving them, your gear, and skill being able to do other things on top of that.
By far the only thing it had to offer then and now the fact that you didn't have to specialize into one combat skill (aka class restrictions) as well as actual skilling restrictions as well.
When EoC came out I thought to myself that it was going to be good, tried it out, eh this thing is still in beta it'll improve. (But by far the only thing that still irritates me to hell is the RNG, and make matters worse you decided to add CRIT?! Yes, an already RNG focused combat system, got a skill set of a modern MMO, as well as "crits" making damage even MORE unpredictable.) With that aside the combat didn't feel as improved as expected. Even so I had gotten tired of Runescape before all this happened, I figured that EoC would bring me back in and all but it didn't, in fact it brought me closer to the other MMO's that my PC can handle. Heck I even played some of the newer MMO's and still went back to runescape for some odd reason.
