Just like to congratulate the graphics team on a fantastic job they done with the rework.
Now onto my Rants:
1. Bring back old armour, weapon and ammo statistics, how do I exploit a monsters weakness when I don't even know my weapons stats.
2. Whats the point in using items such as proselyte, monk robes, soul wars or a fire cape when they have nothing such as prayer bonus and strength bonus.
3. Life point system needs work, when I Equip a shield, eat to full health, unequip the shield, then re-equip it, I lose life points. Wheres the logic.
4. The ability book is so confusing and slow to navigate, when I want to use a teleport, I have to click through so many tabs (isn't that what you were trying to fix in the first place?)
5. Food - What you have done to food is just wrong, because sharks are the best food for me, but I can't afford to buy sharks for skills like slayer on a regualar basis. If a level 3 wants to use rocktails, let them, thats up to them, your restricting our choices to food.
6. Why do I have to always click the chat box to type to other players, can't there be a button to activate/de-activate that? It is really annoying.
7. Certain Weapons don't have indviduality any more and lost there spot as top dog. What im talking about is weapons like the godsword's, Why spend 20m+ on an AGS when a 4m BGS does the same thing.
8. If Player combat levels are being increased, then so should the monsters we battle, reason being because you have altered xp rates of monsters much less level then us.
9. Protection prayers - If I activate a protection prayer, I expect it to protect me and monsters not hitting through it.
This Update has the potential to be the best ever, but In my opinion, the update so far has made the game restricting on players in important areas of combat with my reasons stated above. I believe incorporating the new system with the old combat system would be the best way to go, just to get the best of both worlds in combat

I don't like the new update! You ruined the game! Pking is gone, now everyone can come in wilderness without items because of abilities!!Why to kill them if they will drop nothing? I read all the comments, many are saying to convert this beta into RS3 and leave the real game like this only. This is a very good suggestion, otherwise "MANY" players gonna quit runescape now.

This is not really a hate comment. I'm just expressing my opinions.
Runescape has always had a unique combat/pvp system. Put in this update, and you make it no better than many many other games, such as WoW.
The current runescape combat system may not be very appealing to the outside world, but to the Runescape community it is the reason we play this game, as apposed to playing WoW. Please take my opinion into consideration, I do not like the Beta.

Just reading through these comments I see many great point of concern. I believe If they don't take into account for what these people are saying this game is going to end up the wrong way. Staffs need to be 1 handed! Specials need to come back. The abilities are just bothersome. I mean abilities you almost have to just spam them, auto attacking yields very little damage so you have to use the abilities. Just so much is going wrong with all these things is just upsetting me. I'm cancelling my membership until I see so major changes in the direction it should be going. So until I see them you now have one less member. Any others reading this should also join in cancelling membership that way they will get the hint and listen to us. Just think of this as a Boycott for the rights of the players

I like how the new beta works with the new powers and new effects.Its just awesome.
To those who are crying because this will make pking noobs harder boohoo.
Go learn some new strategy and stop picking on low levels.
Some problems thou
Why they heck do spiders shoot magic isn't bad enough they are poisonous.
Also demons and moss giants use magic.This make noob training on the demon in the wiz tower redundant. It sucks to just throw on magic on hard hitting melee creatures when your armor is going to put you at a disadvantage.
Also runescape is a resource gathering game.we need all kinds of crap to train skills.
Some are not easy to get.A high lvl will still need kill a lot low lvl creatures just to get needed items like spider carcass, dragon pickaxe, horns, etc etc that only those creatures drop.Think about this when your cutting exp gained.I did not get my lvl in combat hacking away for hours at some creature I don't need to kill. I got it trying to gather resource train other skill.
Oh and you need to do something about the fight cave creatures combat lvls.They are so though and take ages to kill but with the exp gained calculation They are not good exp for those who are 150 up.

You should also think about adding same more bank space in the game with the new items being added, as we are packed already.Add it to the loyalty shop even.I would definitely spend loyalty points for some more bank space.As long as its worth it like 1000 points for 100 bank space or more even.
Prayer is less useful now this was said already.
I noticed that I was getting way lower exp when I use arrows to kill compare to melee.As if arrow was not hard enough to train? unbalancing the exp gained would suck.
To me melee is still the better skill.Although you have to train 3 different skill just to be any good at it.I do not think you should make it any harder Just to balance it with arrow or magic you only need to train One skill for them,they are far range so training them is safer.

i forgot to mention this in my first comment, but something is concerning me:
some monsters that had 0 effect on me (hit me 0's most of the times) can damage me easily now,, i feel like levels have less effect now and that most monster can damage me no matter how much higher my combat level or stats are. so i think that needs to be fixed.
i used to kill demons easily and not lose much HP, now i kill 5 and my Hp is way down. and i have to eat before i can kill the 6th one..
and i am thinking.. if nooby monsters can hit me now, what will happen if im fighting a boss? especially when prayer (which is what most player rely on when fighting bosses) has less effect in the new combat system...and quest bosses will be way too hard.
so i think those need to be fixed..and prayer should be just as effective it was in old combat system!

one more thing, armour stats, i dont understand them.. all it shows me is their total armour and life bonus,, where's the old melee, ranged and magic stats display?
and if we could get easily killed without Armour..how are we going to survive in dungeoneering? we'll just get killed in a matter of seconds!

thank you so much for your efforts, the new combat system is good but it still needs a LOT of fixing so please bear in mind our feedback!
