It makes combat more interactive, allows more frequent use of special attacks (by completely removing the special attack bar), awards players who acquire items themselves (rather than buying), handles weapon-hopping abuse without preventing weapon-hopping and urr... I don't know.

Ok, so I'm reading through everything you've posted here and on the suggestion site (which took a while to find, by the way) and I've gotta say, that overall your system seems to work. (My only criticism being that you've forgotten to credit my part in its development
) But thats not a problem, because I plan on doing much more to gain credit. I'm really with you on this one.
Troubleshooting a few points
1. The idea of slots being lost when traded. It seems kinda punishing to me... I can see the positives; Its an incentive to train slayer and smithing and similar, re-adding value to these parts of the game. But it also seems to punish people who trade weapons. Also, can Runescape's coding handle that? I'm no expert... Perhaps you'd like to consider augments being untradable
2.i. Similar effects already present in-game. Poison first. Putting it in the triangle slot seems to me like it would turn poison into unused content - compared to some of your other triangle examples, it seems pretty weak. Plus that causes you to allow poisoning on shortswords. While that finds a use for them, doesn't it shift their uselessness straight onto daggers? Just have a separate augment slot for poison - surely that would make everyone's life easier.
ii. Noticed a remarkable similarity between possible add-ons to shields and the sigils which you attach to spirit shields? To preserve spirit shields as they are, I think you should make another unique slot (which isn't lost by trading) on blessed shields that can only be filled by these sigils, which would become part of the whole augment scheme

iii. The longbow sight from dungeoneering. That kinda screams ellipse augment at me... Doesn't really need any complex system to incorporate it into the system either - in fact, I like the idea that your system would allow it to be attached to any longbow. I thought it was stupid that it could only ever be used on maple and magic longbows anyway...
Those three points would make a good case for introducing this into Runescape, by the way. It makes the whole thing a lot harder to criticise when you can turn around and say "well something similar has been in Runescape here, here and here for a long time..."
3. The loss of control over what XP you get. Its hard enough training strength with a whip as it is
. Plus many weapons have been designed with having multiple attack styles in mind. All weapons need to retain their attack styles for this idea to be accepted by the community at large. I've had a look at the interface you've suggested and I think this could be done with a right click option on the bit that tells you your style (to the right of where it says "Staff of air" and "combat level 91"
. I really really don't like the idea of all weapons having a single default attack style. That actually takes a lot of strategy out of the game, which entirely goes against what we're trying to achieve, in my opinion
4. Weapons currently with no special. I may have overlooked you talking about this, but do you plan on adding this system to ALL weapons to some degree, or just weapons that currently have a special? Just want clarification on that one
5. Unique weapons that don't (or shouldn't) fit into your system of classification. I'm thinking barrows weapons, Korasi's sword and the barrelchest anchor to name a few. What do you plan on doing to them? Just go through case by case? Or fit them all into a catagory?
Other than that, I give this idea two thumbs up. I'd like to start thinking of augments, if thats ok with you?

Sorry for a third post in a row, but I actually do need all this space...
Having read through your post on the suggestion site right down to the bottom, it does seem a few of the things I've picked up on were also picked up on there - mainly the point on the loss of attack styles. This Dark guy is right though, keeping different attack styles is an absolute must
On an unrelated topic... Have you seen the graphics around the clan camp area??? O M G
Please tell me we're setting up there
Those trees looks so so so good - can't wait til they're all over Runescape. And the NPCS... They have fingers! And unique stances. Pretty pleased about what that promises for the future

Haha, Dark later said in our Facebook Group's chat that he agreed with the notion, but it would never go down well with the community as a whole.
Of course we'll set-up. I'll make sure to do it personally while all you Americans are shleeping.
Also, they've already updated the area? I thought that was coming on the 12th or 14th?
AMG! So pretty!
He says I need 5 friends to set up a clan, so I'm guessing we'll need to arrange something.
