Actually, I'm like you; my first day as a member was in May last year. Currently at 86% completed.
Actually, my first day as a member was back in 2009.
But I've had gaps in there, due to financial difficulties that meant I had lapses in membership. (And it was so frustrating because I lost my membership bank spaces and like an idiot withdrew all my gc at once (got in the habit) and couldn't bank it again, so I had to carry it around with me - which meant no combat/dangerous areas for me until I could subscribe again! I did a few quests here and there but didn't really get into quests until this year.

My bad, I meant mid -level monsters. I tend to use a mindspike as a weapon (call me a cheapskate), and it annoys me to no end when I miss 17 out of 20 Wind Waves on a level 60 monster. This wouldn't have happened pre-EoC.
Ok I was wondering! lol I'll have to try that....are you using the abilities with it?

...Rune Mysteries/Memories broke the lore by assuming that runecrafting was already a known skill.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the prior lore already state that runecrafting was discovered in the 4th age, and prior to that the only runes that existed were given out by Guthix? And that a large part of the God Wars surrounded control of the (rare) runes?

In any case, I don't pay to wait. I resubbed in late February for The World Wakes and anticipated more quests. I don't have time to play Runescape anymore, I flew into Melbourne a few days ago and my university semester starts later this month. I honestly regret subscribing these few months, there was nothing for me to enjoy.
But there's so much more than quests! We've had several new dungeons - including the Order of Ascension.
I do play a lot, though. I go to university as well but since developing problems with my knees I'm on the laptop a LOT, lol. Runescape keeps me from going stircrazy.
My motto is to be nice if I can, but also to not suffer trolls.

(cont) What I can't find at the moment, however, is the founding date of the wizard's guild. I will continue to look.

Bossing is not my thing. My idea of fun is to charge through storylines and rescue the fairies/the Dorgeshuun/whatever from the Fairy Godfather/Mother Mallum/whatever villain there is. I get no pleasure from killing bosses.
Fair enough. But , you can't say that just because an update to the game is about something you don't enjoy doing that it's an inconsequential update.

The key word is inconsequential .
Charm Sprite rework, God Statues, Sinkholes - these were decent, but they're D&Ds and are merely an addition to the already large variety of things available for you to do in-game. Inconsequential.
Charm Sprites, like bonfires, give players an alternative to combat for acquiring charms for summoning, which is huge. Looking at the historical wiki pages again, it looks like before the update, the most commonly received were green/gold, and least common were blue/crimson, which was switched in the update, making this method more on par with combat drops. (Since it can take a little longer to acquire charms through sprites, it makes the acquisition rate more equal, especially as with pvm you get some monsters that have a higher crimson/blue drop rate.) Also the Yaktwee Stick was updated so that, after 1,000 sprite captures, you get a 5% hunter xp boost for future sprite captures. And the mystical slice was introduced as well, which also is a huge help for finishing charms. Not inconsequential IMO.
God statues offer a free method to gain construction and prayer exp, two of the most expensive skills to train in the game. Sure it's only once per month, but if you do nothing but statues, you can go up one level each time, especially at lower levels. That's huge. Not to mention the prayer xp and adding 4 recharge altars. My motto is to be nice if I can, but also to not suffer trolls.

Sinkholes are not inconsequential, either - it adds an alternative way to train dungeoneering
and
gain dungeoneering tokens/rewards, plus at least one cosmetic outfit. It's possible to obtain as much xp/tokens as a medium dungeon at floor 40 or above, in seven minutes or less. That's pretty good IMO.

Instanced God Wars - good idea for a money sink, but it's basically adding on existing content. Inconsequential. (except maybe for the economy, I don't boss so I don't know)
I don't boss either, but looking at the info on the 4 bosses available for instancing (Nex isn't instanceable), and the fact that GWD is multicombat, it's logical to expect instancing to increase the loot acquired on an individual basis because you don't have other players you don't even know getting a share of your team's kill for just a few hits/little participation. This is big considering they drop some of the highest value loot in the game.

Castle Wars - I read that thread in RGU about "stacking". Looks like it only made things worse. I still reckon, up till now, that it's a bad idea for it to be a trimmed comp requirement.
I don't play cw, so I don't know about the stacking, but it seems to me that an easy answer to CW problems would be to allow instancing of castle wars. That way people can actually play without domination from an fc/few mean-spirited players or leechers.

Toolbelt upgrade, lodestone expansion - They make the game mindlessly easier and encourage new players to ignore more game content. Bad update, and horrible implementation.
And here's where we really disagree. I support both because to me, having to walk/run is what makes the game mindless and boring (I'd rather get to the action), and some of the lodestones actually encourage players to visit those places. (cont) My motto is to be nice if I can, but also to not suffer trolls.
