How easy is the new Runescape, and is it still enjoyable?
Go and try it out yourself, I quit cause I don't think they care about the players and stuff
Actually this game is among the most player-directed. I am pretty sure you quit because you didn't want big changes like EoC, you had no motivation to learn new basics or something. Before (and shortly after) EoC, it was meleescape. You could kill a mage with a scimitar in few hits. EoC was the easiest way to rebalance the combat and prepare the game for the upcoming updates, often centered on bosses. Bots were soon dealt with (now they're coming back, I can only hope for Bot Nuke #2).
Combat now is a little bit easier, but it all depends on the monster and your stats. players with 85+ stats shouldn't have problems defeating most of the bosses, but you won't stand a chance against, let's say, graardor with 60ish stats, the same as before EoC.
Skills are more or less the same, exception being the city of Priffdinas, which is a high-level city offering many benefits and skill alternatives.
Yeah, benefits, perks, advantages. I don't like that the game is becoming easier. Do you know who causes it? The players, of course. Many players wish for this one benefit, that one benefit step by step without realizing how easy the game has become compared to 2-3 years ago. And Jagex listens do them, because they have to maintain the crowd in order to keep earning money. RS3 is partially a dead game.
Another thing (this time Jagex's doing) are microtransactions, which begin to be slowly annoying due to significance of the benefits received. In most hardcore scenarios, one could buy half of a non-buyable skill (it would require a lot of rl money tho).
However, the game still has many things to offer like quests with somehow interesting lore, new bosses, events that change the whole game (e.g. the God Bandos has been slain) and this content is usually aimed at high-level players. So if you're a mid-lvl player, I think you could enjoy a lot of this game.
Final score, 7/10 (8/10) with RL money
