I love how every butt-hurt player leeches every opportunity to whine and cry about runescape. As said above, you are a consumer not an investor. Jagex is doing what they think is best. In my opinion they're doing great.
Get over yourselves, seriously.
back to the topic at hand:
I AM PUMPED FOR THIS QUEST :)
The armor is sick and I rather enjoy the story line.
Excellent work Jagex, keep it up :)

Right....I would like to say Jagex, ty for implementing the use of action bars and introducing EoC. However, I merely like to strongly give caution to a certain aspect that I noticed with EoC ,especially within this quest.

The final boss as the player before me mentioned is completely broken for "lowbies" or anyone that does not have strong 90+99 combat.

The gauntlet versions were well done, but the boss has one major flaw especially during the final phase when he tries to go heal himself. Yes I am aware you have to "Stun" him before he goes in to get healed but wait...I hit stun and he isn't stun, I tried a second stun it doesn't work and before i notice the boss is on a hot floor and already healed to max.

So what is the problem? I am missing my stuns for being a lowbie and even while wearing melee equipment even though the quest does not say i need 99 combat skills other than warning me the creature's level.

If your trying to bring more low level players to enjoy this system (which i do) you have to make certain specific changes to help those players succeed at this quest. Otherwise say you need higher combat skills of at least 90+. For example, you could recreate some of the armor to have "hit" ratings. Why is this important, well instead of chancing my stuns on pure DUMB luck, the hit rating if done correctly will help low level players succeed in getting that stun off. A player's skill is matched by memorizing the patterns of the boss and taking it down without pure dumb luck.

Nomad before EoC (since i never tried Nomad EoC) is a perfect example of a good boss to which you memorize a pattern of his attacks to beat him. The only DUMB luck is the final stage when he wails on you. This quest boss involves more luck than skill for a low level. If your stun does not go off, the boss runs onto hot floors so your chancing yourself to get killed while stunning or risk him healing back to full. And say you do stun him...than ya run back waiting to stun again
