My suggestions:

Allow weapons to have multiple attack styles again. this was a HUGE flaw from the start because 99% of melee weapons capable of multi-styles have been handicapped. Especially spears, swords, and axes.
Make diffrent melee attack styles STILL MATTER against pvp. Crush should be better against platemails, and stab against chains. This should not have changed.
Give protection prayers 100% block against monsters again, with exceptions to special one. Prayers in general, and potions shouldbe un-nerfed.
BUFF 2h abilities. Especially staffs.

Thanks.
Many of these things address exactly what I didn't like about the beta.
Being a lazy guy who often fights well under his level the removal of the xp limitation and the increase of auto attack both sound great.
Also good to hear that you are looking into the issue of health points when you first put on Armour.

i really hate this update. The reason i dont play world of warcraft is because because of the ability bar and this is why i really like runescape because it was what i wanted and now there becoming a wannabe remake of world of warcraft unlike most people sad to say this is one of the worst updates runescape has ever had and when beta is released im out.

^ Obviously you didn't read the part where they are making auto attacks more potent.
People need to stop moaning about the beta. They complained that Jagex wouldn't listen. Now they are complaining that they are. EVERYTHING HAPPENS OVER TIME PEOPLE. Everything is not going to be fixed in 1 day. The changes are going to be gradual be patient ffs.

Autoattacks vs. Abilities & XP Rates I'm very happy about!!!@!@!!
My suggestion is to add right click option to Enchanted excalibur to heal players which will have a cooldown timer (timer would be how long it takes to get 0-100% spec bar).
Its healing special was one of players most useful achievement diary rewards. Social media:

i hate the new stats armour gives and weapons give. go back to old bonuses list like current rs where it has str bonus, mage range and melle absorb, slash crush stab magic range bonuses ect. it's just easier to understand this way.
also a lot of quest items are useless now, why use barrows gloves u worked hard for when torva and bandos gloves are so much better and u need no work to wield them.
also the godswords remain an issue. i don't like cosmetic godswords. give them abilities CUSTOM TO EACH SWORD
like bandos has a chance of lowering defence
sara can heal u everyonce in a while like guthans,
armadyl is just stronger
zammy can stun on occasion
keep up the great work guys King Cain Jr

I have read the previous comments and they are all about combat itself, So i would like to put a spin on things and talk about the Graphical side of the beta.
1. The players look far to fake, the heads look very alien and 'unreal' the hands also look very fake, and the stance is very strange, in saying this i do honestly prefer the current Graphics as many other players would agree with me. KEEP CURRENT GRAPHICS!
2: The Abilities are very confusing to use and due to the abilities this has resulted in Dragon Claws being absolutely useless.. And I'm very disheartened because of this.
3: The magic spell book has been put into the ability slot on the tab bar, WE DO NOT NEED A SQUEAL OF FORTUNE TAB!!!! I would consider removing it from the abilities and placing it back into the tab bar As in the ability slot its very confusing and difficult to find which spell your trying to use or to find a teleport if you are fighting and using abilities. Also, The layout of the ability slot is somewhat very cramped and difficult for some players to read and also use, I'm sure this can be laid out much better.
The thing that annoys me most is that Rune Scape is already loved by many and is already a well known game, So i ask, WHY do you need to Copy world of Warcraft so much?! Rune scape is known for being diverse and different from any other game out there! there's no need to copy a game to advance! Your trying to be too much like WoW and Everyone i know, hates that, if we wanted Rune scape to be like Wow, Don't you think we would be playing WoW by now?
