The updates haven't been released yet and still the vast majority of truly runescapers agree with the fact that nothing will be the same again as in the past. And I fully agree with them because indeed lately a lot of things changed, especially those that were common used, popular and talked about. E.g 'merchanting, Duel Arena (Staking in this case), the economy in general and we can keep going on like this, if you ask me (as 'PFJ' has stated in his post). But still we can't judge things, which we don't have experience. And 'yes' I am aware of the fact that we all can think of several possible consequences, which are negative for the future of RS in my opinion. Still it might be different once these updates are released although I doubt it will be positive. And 'yes' indeed I hope Jagex will release in the near future that they haven't thought about it well.
