Personally, i enjoy the EoC but i also miss a lot of the basic elements from pre-EoC.
I also think that the combat system was working pretty good and did not need an update at all.
The reason why it got so much hatred is that Jagex sudennly presented the Beta. They did not even ask us if we wanted an update. They came up with the Beta and it was clear that there was no way back. The EoC was almost finished and nobody would just trash such a huge project. Jagex only asked us about the small things, such as "Do you think the armors are balanced?". That is, for me, the only mistake they've done.
I'm not hating on Jagex or the EoC but Jagex always claims that they listen to our feedback (I'm not saying they dont listen to us) but apparently they completely ignored their customers opinion in one of their biggest decision. We decided on the fate of the free trade and the wildy. We were not able to decide wether we want a new combat system or not. It was too different. It completely destroyed some of the basics in Runescape. It just wasn't the old Runescape. There are still a lot of weird stuff such as pre-EoC lvl30-40 spiders are now lvl130-140 whereas bluedragons are only lvl 111, but things start to get better and more runescapish.
Anyways i think the EoC is great and to be honest, I also don't think that Runescape would have as much players in the future without an update.
