I think the whole point of the beta is for players to complain so that Jagex understand strengths and weaknesses of the legacy update which is what you're also doing creating this post.
I've tried the Legacy beta for about 10 minutes and didn't like it and I think it's weird that there's two different combat systems going on at once but hey, there's only benefits because if I want to use special attacks or want to afk like the old days then now it's available to me.
My primary concern, Jerome, is not with the system itself, it is first and foremost a concern that those that Jagex are looking to appeal to are primarily those that are unsatisfiable. They never stop taking.
For example, for those that know their world history somewhat, remember what happened between Chamberlain and Hitler right before the invasion of Poland? Hitler agreed with Chamberlain that he could have what he had already claimed as his, as long as he didn't try and take over more stuff. Happy times, yes? Again, no. Hitler ignores his pact with Chamberlain and invades Poland, and continues on his merry way.
Now that the Nazi/EOC-hater metaphor is done, I do want to say that clearly the situation is not exactly the same, and Hitler is not the equivalent to the vocal minority of the community, but what Chamberlain tried to do is very much what I see Jagex doing. This is APPEASEMENT.
Once a lot of these people have Legacy, do you really think they'll stop there? Do you really think they'll learn to accept those that choose to pk with EOC mechanics?
I may very well be proven wrong, but previous experience would suggest that those that I refer to are not going to be happy until everthing is just the way they want it, which would in turn ruin the experience for those that either like the combat system, or don't really care about combat yet would prefer to have this valuable dev time being put forth to better the game and advance it, rather than dwell on trying to make everyone happy with combat.
