It is a sad day when a fun game turns into a different one, way to basically take WoW's combat system and make it yours, honestly I hope you get sued so you can't put this piece of crap you call an update in, it's going to ruin runescape and you are going to lose a lot of players. Ever since that American company took over this game has really began to suck.

All of you people that keep saying that RS is turning into WoW, and that RS is dead, if you don't like it, stop playing. It's not turning into WoW, or any other game for that matter, and frankly, it's an old and pointless argument to keep saying that it is. RuneScape will always be RuneScape, no matter what changes are made to it. Jagex is taking their game to a new level of game play, and it is a much needed update to an old, outdated combat system. They may have copied some aspects of it from WoW, and added their own twists to it, so what! WoW copied it from someone else, who copied it from someone else, who copied it from someone else. The EoC is the future of RS, like it or not. Learn to accept that all things in life will change, because if they don't, they won't survive!

Putting on Armour
I think I might have a decent idea for this. So instead of having a heal point, when a player puts on armor, he/she gains health proportional to their maximum health. So for example a player had 500/700 without armor and he puts on armor that makes his max hp 3500, that player would have a total of 2500/3500hp.

I'm a proud owner of a quest cape and am very disappointed that I will no longer keep it once the Beta is released. I tried the beta over the weekend and as I am not a 'clicky' player, it was very difficult for me to fight in Castle Wars. All I resorted to was clicking on a player and hoping what I was doing was going to actually hit them. The new spells were confusing and I had no idea what the skills interface was as there were attack styles there that I did not recognize.
Changing how we attack would be fine if it didn't mean a change of all of the spells, prayers, attack styles on the interface. Oh, and that bar on the bottom that you can customize... what the heck is that? I finally was able to figure out how to move it out of my gameplay screen, thank goodness!
I normally love the updates and have played faithfully for over six years now, enjoying my gameplay each day. However, I fear that this new change will discourage me from continuing my membership. I enjoyed quests so much and was very happy whenever a new one came out. But if I am unable to fight due to having to be a 'clicky' player, I will lose something that I worked very hard on.
Thank you for reading my post and for the updates on where the Beta stands.

Most people suit up in a bank or at the ge. How about making all banking areas the safe zones? When you apply the armour at a bank, you can rapidly gain the life points. No combat is performed in a banking area so nobody could use it unfairly.

This probably has already been said but the new spell book is cool but needs to be avalible in a grid or a different pattern where more information can be viewed at one time. Also catagorize spells and abilitys so it doesn't take 3 mins to find the spell I want to autocast.

:@ I have only played the beta for one day, last weekend to say, and I hate it. I have been playing since 2006, and I like how the combat is already, I don't want it changed at ALL. I do not like where the abilities are, under magic section... I would like a special attack bar placed back into the combat section (area where you choose attack style). I do for one like the dual wielding and the life bonus from armour. I just do not like the fighting at all, I don't PvP, just PvM, which is why I don't want it to be more complicated... Can there atleast be an option to choose through the old way of combat and new way when it is released? :|
