Very rarely do i post, but i find myself at a place where i can no longer remain silent. When Jagex evolved the combat system i quit, i chose not to play with the new system. i'm old, i don't play many games and the ones i do i have played for a very long time.
Old school brought me back to a game i loved, and other than the necessity of starting over after 7 years of work, i enjoy the game still. I understand the desire to keep old school "pure". but... please!
Clear back when i started playing there were people screaming about new content, how it was going to ruin the game, "if you add this im quitting", and a lot more BS. Change is inevitable or the game stagnates. the new skill proposed is fine, its merely a slayer for skillers. It adds new content and creates something to rejuvinate the skillers desire to play.
Bonds? not so sure about those, there are far too many people who are driven to acquire items rather than play the game. And the community is showing that mindset. But whether they add bonds or not, the game will go on, and people will still play, and those who are so set against change will continue to complain.
However, by adding bonds, Jagex at least gains a small bit more control over rwt, and that money everyone is so willing to throw into their success, winds up back in our game.
