Okay. Here's where I think you've missed the point.
Quote:
-The Construction Skill- Thank you Jagex, just what we all wanted!! A skill giving us the ability to make a home with a bedroom. Because all of our characters can sleep and all.
Have you not even acknowledged all the other perks there are to construction? Making teleport portals, making prayer so much easier to train. Sure, it's expensive but it's worth it.
Quote:
-The Dark Bow- With this wonderful weapon, we can kill our opponents with blistering speeds.
The majority of people used the Dark Bow for it's special, not it's speed.
Quote:
-Dragon Boots- Thanks, For making the Extremely rich slayer professionals of our community poorer.
350k for a pair of boots with a +4 Strength bonus and good defence stats. Did you notice that Rune boots were around 200k before Dragon Boots came out?

-The Grand Exchange- Its Wonderful! not only did it make merchanting Easier, it almost turned it into a skill of its own! I LOVE paying MORE money for a HALF pie, than the whole pie! jeez, im not too hungry, i think i'll pay more for less...(Thank you Skiddles Ftw For the idea )
I sure loved surfing the official forums for an item I wanted to buy and waiting for someone to log in after 20 odd minutes. Especially since I was muted.
I really like the Grand Exchange, I mainly buy items for max price because I know most of the time I'd get some money back.

-The 3k Max Staking Limit!!- Very Very Fun, i love spending 4m on my veracs, and then making 3k with it!!
Quote:
-The 3k Max Trade Limit- I know this hasn't happened yet... But i am soo excited, it will make merchanting even easier!! now i can make... hmm around 15k an hour!! wow!
Desperate times called for desperate measures. Rules were being broken and Jagex had to resort to extreme lengths to prevent them from being broken. Find another way of making money.
Quote:
-Revenants- Making all of my lvl 3 wilderness clues even easier! now, instead of a level 100 player, i can worry about a level 126 Ghost, that can attack me with Range, Magic, AND Melee!
So they removed pking. They added these guys to make sure that the wilderness was still a place to be feared. A **** good job they did, as well.
Quote:
-The Party Room- Not only do us paying members, love seeing one of the coolest rooms in RuneScape (which we had to pay for) be moved to F2P locations. Then, if we thought it wouldn't get ANY better, it did! now all the NPC's can SPAM
Two words. Members Items.
Sure F2P can have drop partys, but nothing worth going to.

---Charms...
-VERY hard to obtain, and not enjoyable to obtain...
-Guards drop the same amount as hell hounds... Very balanced...(NOT)
---Exp.
-We get xp from making the freaking pouches, i didn't know this was RuneCrafting...
Not hard to obtain. A lot of monsters drop them, only a small amount but they're very common. I must have got around 30-40 more whilst typing this up.
Although... Main experience from making pouches, I don't get that either.
That's my two cents.
