Again, never seizes to amaze me, the slippery slopes you guys provide. First things first, the thing that made Runescape unique was that there was never really a "class". In fact, you could use all three styles how you deemed fit. Second, if you read the mod post a couple pages back, they said it doesn't have to be EXACTLY as it is now which means they could add mage/range items to properly balance within the triangle.
An example would be instead of adding 4 godswords, they could split it into different weapons like an Armadyl Bow, Zamorak & Saradomin Staff, or a Bandos Mace (need something to crush mithril dragons pl0x). All bosses would have the chance at dropping a plain hilt (Godsword Hilt), with the sword shards, to make the weapon. Make up a special attack that deals 150% more damage (anchor does 100% more damage and decreases stats by 1% of what is dealt - 50% drain), increase the stat requirements needed to wield, and there you go.
HERE is a suggestion that they could go about instead of throwing what if situations like 1/4 of the population usually does. What's funny is people claim that Jagex ruined the game, but in reality, it's the community. Maybe instead of jumping the gun and assuming the worst, you guys should think about it at a neutral perspective first.
