Which is what rs ain't, rs is a simple combat system but that's what makes it so enjoyable, if I wanted to play wow, id play wow, I play rs for what it is tbh.

It's a game, you aren't supposed to be able to afk. If you were playing super mario and went to the toilet, came back and he had rescued princess peach without you then you'd feel a little bit obsolete wouldn't you?!?! A lot is still mildly afkable though anyway
It's not going to ruin anything you've mentioned though.
1) is just lolable
2) they will release new bosses and old bosses will possibly be updated
This update just gives them so much more potential for other things in the future.
And please don't generalise, a lot of people like this beta... In fact, as a skiller I love it because it makes skilling so much easier. Plus the combat is just so much more fun.
And yes, actually it is still simple. Once you've spent 20-30 minutes reading through and testing the abilities you can figure out what works best for your set up and click at will... JUST LIKE A SPECIAL ATTACK. Entirely optional, just as before.
This is the turning point for Jagex. Without this, it would be a dying game (that's a fact, there are simply not enough new players coming in). They're trying to improve and people like you who refuse to accept change are just making it harder because all the "OMG IS SUX" spam is in the way of actual, good feedback.
think people are forgetting this is only a BETA, nothing is set in stone.
Quite hard to do when evidently other than from the cry babies who wanted this in the first place as everyone knows this is what really happened , tehre is no good feedback to give other than that pknig is now ruined which is better for everyone as its **** anyway.
LOL I give up with you. You seem to lack the ability to acknowledge other people's opinions and for some reason think your opinion is shared by the entire Runescape community (BTW, it isn't).
If you really do feel so strongly against it, you better just quit the game now so we don't have to read your incoherent whining. Everyone wins!
Except as I've discussed with so many people , if peoplle who dislike it move on, jagex loses far more members than they will gain from this. As everyone says, this is what we play for currently, and do not want world of runescape or runetima online or some rubbish like that. And if you really think noone shares my opinions pls direct urself to the forums. There may be the normal nimbys but there are tons of other people who are actually outraged and know that a move like this is rip jagex. There is simply nothing ztoppping them making rs3, it'll get these new people but also retain all the old members.
I love runescape as it is at the moment but the update is long overdue. Jan I don't believe if Jagex made rs3 many people would stick around with rs2, it'd be just a waste of their money. Unfortunately if you don't like it you're just going to have to put up with it or quit, you're one person out of 200 million. I know a good few members don't want the update to happen but it's always the same, heck i even used to be one of those people but now I try to open my mind and look at things in general positively. Jagex need to move forward. People simply don't like change and once a change is made they get used to it and actually enjoy it.
Well quite simply said imo they really should after a month of live beta to everyone just do another poll on it like wildy/free trade tbh, as it does seem fair. Only problem with that would be the amount of time being put into it being wasted, but then again that sort of thing should be thougt through with such massive chandelier anyway.
I agree to an extent with rich but imo it was never due as we are effectively unique and shouldn't try to be like the others, as its our uniqueness that makes rs so popular tbh.
I never once said that. You seem to think no one but "people who were crying for this" (which... no one actually was) like the beta, which is in fact untrue. I'm in a clan of 500 people and it seems fairly split, opinion-wise. I'm also part of the youtube community which also has a mixture of opinions. Not everyone is "outraged" (as you're implying in every post) and most of them can find formulate an opinion which involves actual thought, not just "it fails" or "it's awesome"
It's hard to discuss a topic with someone who refuses accept (even if they don't agree with) a differing opinion so we'll have to agree to disagree.
Yep agreed we will just have to agree to disagree on that, but Ye I do accept that there is likely split among players.
Not what you were saying earlier :p
I think rather than just bashing it constantly saying 'oh everyone hates it' 'it'll ruin rs' 'rip jagex' you need to give it a chance. Its been out for only 2 weeks ish... There are many good sides to it and the not so good sides will no doubt be changed. This update HAD to happen. As @Kyle; said, you should not be able to AFK a game to the extent that you can at times now.
Also I've looked on the forums and although there are the moaners (who are always about) a lot of people do seem to like the update.
And not to mention that it is a Beta afterall. Changes will be made throughout the beta to try and improve on the combat update based on feedback.
TEAM PIP #1
Anyways lol im waiting for it to go public untill i play again
In the words of a great man I know;
LESS QQ MORE PEWPEW!
I'm all for the combat update, if games never evolved it's likely you wouldn't be playing them at this very moment. They have to keep improving to stay alive, everyone moans at first but they get over it, like Habbo's chat. ahhh everyone hates it! HATE IT blah blah, then they all freaking use it no complaining now and it's better
