@dyvinity says you have only been a member since jul 2011 not 6 years buddy...
But anyways, I would like to say what I like and don't like so far about the beta.
LIKES:
1.New Graphics
2.New stances
3.New armor and wep requirements gives more balance between levels
4.New prayers icons
5. The whole action bar
6. Dualwielding
7.All actionbar abilities
DISLIKES:
1. OFF HAND CHAOTICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<<<<<<< BIG NO JAGEX JUST NO
2.The entire new magic book so hard to use.
3. The fact people can maintain max rage or whatever u guys are calling it to ultimate at the beginning of every boss kill and get the kill. The abilities outside of combat that can be used shouldn't give anything towards using ultimate.
4. Combat triangle still not balanced. Melee still is way overpowered compared to magic and ranged.
5. Torva has no shield or off hand unlike pernix and virtus.
6.Cant run when in combat you move very very slow. This can be troublesome when pking because you cant run from enemies if low on potions or food.

Other than that I do like the beta very much my biggest dislike though is the off hand chaotics. Chaotics are already powerful as it is. Dont let people who don't do dungeoneering be at a big disadvantage because we cant compete with 2 chaotic rapiers in pve or pvp.
I wanted a clever signature but Jagex had no time for my shenanigans, because it was just a bunch of hax.

Seriously??? Jagex is trying to make this game more and more like WoW (World of Warcraft). We dont want to play WoW. If we did, we would either play WoW or 1 of the other 100 games like it. I personaly think this is a waste of time for everyone. Keep the combat how it is and stop trying to be like WoW. Ive been playing since 2002 and havent agreed with alot of the updates but some have come in handy. But i am putting my foot down on this one. This is a failure for Runescape. If you really want to improve the game, spend more time banning bots and make it more safe from hackers. So in conclusion Jagex, stop this nonsence and stop trying to be like other games. This is RuneScape and we want RuneScape, not some WoW wanna be.

I need to specify on my original post (Page 39.) What irks me is that it FEELS like no consideration was really taken for the paying members who have to work long, horrible hours and weekends for places who could care less about them and use RS as a way to help unwind are being punished for it by having an extremely limited window of time in which they'd be able to access the open beta worlds, or maybe it was and Jagex just can't do it. Either way, I would at least like to know WHY open beta isn't going to have full accessibility every day. That much would be appreciated. I'm not saying no consideration was taken, it just feels like it because no explanation was given as to why open beta is going to be restricted to weekends only.
Additionally, I've noticed quite a lot of flaming and spam and just want to say that this is a BETA TESTING for a reason, Jagex has stated several times that what you see now is most likely NOT going to be the final product, yet I see pages and pages of posts where people are acting like this is all set in stone. BETA TESTING IS CALLED TESTING BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT IT IS, A TEST. The point of it is to work out the kinks and bugs so that the final product WILL be good. Just saying 'I hate this update,' isn't going to do a thing if you don't give the details. Explain WHY you don't like it. What specific points of the new system get your goat? Also explain why you don't like it and give suggestions to make it better. If you can't even do that much then the beta tester spot was wasted on you and that's a shame because I was aiming for a spot in the initial closed beta, because I AM looking forward to being a part this game's future, because I do want to give my input in a proper and constructive manner to be used in improving the game and most of what I'm seeing on the thread is just sad and immature.
Feel free to attack my post if you want, you'll be wasting your time. I'm only paying attention to the Jagex and Forum Mod posts now.

It's really annoying, been member for 12 months but not in a straight line...
What the hell jagex wants from the players, guys with low combat?
Really, 50k "players", mostly them just alt. accounts for those mains with bills.
Getting really kicked around here.

Oh, by the way. Everyone who is posting on this thread saying Runescape is turning into WoW because of abilities bar, you might as well call it World of Abilitiescraft. Just because they add an abilities/adrenaline bar and abilities into the game DOES NOT make Runescape WoW. In fact, you might as well call any game with an abilities bar WoW now. Good effort there.
