Legacy Mode: The Who

The more I've read this topic the more I find myself leaning towards what Dave has been saying.

From my own perspective I can never see away from the fact that the basis behind your post is all about the people that play RS / used to play RS and the "community". I've been playing RS myself longer than you (2002) and over that time the changes and way I've played the game has been so different. Do I regret any of the changes? No, I just adapt to them into how I play the game. Have any changes ever effected my RS experience for the worse? No, thats pretty self obvious in that I'm still here actively playing.

Over the years I've gone from being a quester / skiller until in 2006 and I hit 126 cmb I ventured into the side (you seem to dislike and say they're bad) of the pking world. Yeah, there were people that would give the "complainers" a bad reputation. It doesn't mean that everyone was like that. My best pking clan experience was in 08/09 and when the leaders decided to close the clan when we were near the top of the pking world I was furious as I loved the community we had in the clan and it was going. The leaders had said it was down to the pking world changing & at the time I couldn't see that. Looking back I see now they made the right decision and the pking world changed. It still didn't stop me from enjoying my RS time.

When 07scape came out last year I went and played that more actively than EOC as I was one of those that wasn't an amazing fan of EOC and it took me back, yet never replaced, my experiences from 2007 the first time around. I came back to EOC just before Div was released as I knew that should I return I'd need it at 99 for my comp cape.

I enjoy EOC now as much as I enjoyed classic back in 2003 and then RS2 when that came out. Things change and people adapt. It only effects you if you let it. You don't have to speak to these "bad people" that you say are gonna be returning because of Legacy. Legacy is just another change in RS like many that have gone on before. I've not yet tried the beta, I'll just see what happens, but I know that it certainly won't change me as a person or the network of friends that I have and the friendships that I've made over the years. As far as I see it you only let people effect you yourself. There's an ignore button to use on them if you need to or you can just chose to be mature and not let their complaining and whining get to you. Something that sadly appears to be doing here with yourself.

The world is never gonna be one big happy place of love and happiness, its just how you chose yourself to let it effect you as to how you deal with it. And to get so serious over a thing like a combat update on a game in which you're part of a skilling clan, I (sorry to be frank) see it as pretty pointless.
