I don't understand the line of reasoning of the naysayers.
Many of them don't even provide reasons for why they wish to keep things the way they are. It's just a caps-lock spamfest of "NOOOOO JAGEX DONT DO IT ITS GUNNA BE BADDD!!!!!!!1!!!!1111!!!"
Forgive me, but I like a game that actively involves ME in it. As in, I don't click and then go semi-AFK to watch YouTube videos. I -like- being able to push buttons to do more damage.
Do you know why this game will never be like WOW or any of the other "mainstream MMOs" that all copy WoW?
It's because Jagex takes their time when they implement something. They watch, they observe, and they study what works and what doesn't work.
In addition, Runescape quests -far- surpass quests in most other MMORPGs. Why? Because they actually mean something when you complete them. Instead of being just another way to grind experience to get to "end game," quests in Runescape offer incentive and are long and complex. They have rewards that make them worth doing!
And, of course, let's not overlook the fact this game does not have a healing class. This is, I feel, probably a good thing in the long run, because the moment you introduce "healers" into a game is the moment all balance goes out the window, because EVERYTHING in the game must be balanced around healers. Thus, Runescape is the only MMORPG with an intact PvM and PvP combat system that is "balanced." Why? Because it doesn't have healers.
So this game will be fine. This is a step in the right direction.

Here's a suggestion for the 'safe spot' for rapid healing after putting on armor: banks. Banks are a great place as 'safe spots' because that is generally where people change armors. Banks are also a good place because they aren't near bosses or high level monsters which make abuse pointless. Banks also aren't in PvP areas. Just an idea.

In all the update hoopla and being happy about Beta, I completely overlooked something. You guys removed the miasmic spells from the Ancient magick spell book. What gives? How can you claim to want to balance the triangle and then turn around and remove the best offensive spell mages have?
Also is it true that the chaotic cross bow is the only bow strong enough to shoot diamond, dragon, or onyx bolts? If that's true, then we have a SERIOUS problem.

I believe to have found the solution to the "armor hit point" problem. You see, to have your armor fill your Life Points without cheating would simply result in adding the % of Life Points you have now to the % after you equip the armor. For example, a player with 720 Life Points has his Life full, so he has 100% of his life points. Now he equips a dragon plate body, which gives "x" amount of extra Life Points. So now, he has 720+x amount of Life Points remaining as he had 100% to begin with. Now let's say that he had only 20% of his hit points. So now out of fear he equips the dragon plate body (which honestly, should save him, instead of leaving him at the same LP) now, he can have (720+x)/0.20 which should effectively give 20% of his life to his total, boosting his hit points up a bit without giving him an unfair hp gain. Now, to make this simpler, you should add a category in the stats section of the armor for LP gain, so that you can take that total, add it to the player's life points and divide it by the percentage of life points remaining.

Anyway, I hope the Jagex crew will read this and give me some feedback on it. Mind not copying my ideas anyone? I worked hard on this and wouldn't want someone to abuse the superpowers of the "copy/paste" button.
Godspeed and Party on,
Aries Corvus.

Hey jagex! I think it's really great that you're listenin to your players!!! However, runescape multicombat wilderness is currently literally empty, and considering how stubborn rs players are, single-combat worlds will be packed, while the multi ones will be left empty. Just what i think will happen, anyway, i don't like the weakness thing for monsters very much, for example, if you're a ranger and like to range most monsters, you're usually going to hit really bad, as most things are weak to a mage spell, attack styles etc.
Also, i LOVE that you can make familars give you the exp you want! This will make some familars more used! :)

make the extra armor health a separate defense bar that needs to be repaired when it is taken down / that way it rids the problem of having the abuse by removing and adding armor to refill health but you still get the added health you want with the armor
