)Personally, my three things in no particular order:
1. I would change the way membership is run. Instead of having anyone with a level 3 character being able to sign up, make it so that they've played long enough to get a firm grasp on the game, so maybe around 750 Skill Total and/or 40 Combat with one melee stat at or above 55.
WHY would I do this? Simply put, most level 3 files are autoers. Most low-level files only stay on the freeplay side of the members map. Most mid-level files don't know how to make money fast enough to really be effecient on the members side. It would probably do them a lot more good to learn how to play the game before they bought it before they wind up unhappy customers.
2. I would change the way the RuneScape forums are run. Since only members can post, that's okay but it doesn't give everyone a voice. Irrespective of whether or not we members pay for the game, sometimes a suggestion or two for something really good can come on the freeplay side of the game. Instead, make it so that any member account with 1100 Skill Total or freeplay account with 1250 total could post there. This would cut down on A LOT of moronic posts and general discontent with the forums.
WHY would I do this? Well, if you've ever been to the offical forums for more than seven minutes, you'd know what I mean. Some of the people there are downright IDIOTS. The Forum Moderators are overworked, underappreciated, and underpaid for what they do on a constant basis. Sometimes, it seems unjust that they'd have to go through and do what they do when it could be easily avoided, in my opinion.
3. I would change the way Player Moderation was run. Moderators ingame are an awesome commodity, and believe me, with the ever-expanding population, we'll have to get more. Yet, sometimes, it seems that they are being picked incorrectly, or they let their silver chat-crown go straight to their head. I'm told that Jagex deals with these troublemakers immediately, but what about those that have actually SOLD ITEMS ON E-BAY with a Player Moderator account? What about those that AUTO with a Player Moderator account? Account share? Drop trade? And so forth...
WHY would I do this? I'd do this for the simple reason that the system needs to have more checks and balances in authority. Giving some totally random and seemingly trustworthy player priority reports and muting power seems a bit one-sided since people would abuse this power in a heartbeat. Furthermore, it's not just about the fact that "all power corrupts", but also the Player Moderators get badgered on a constant basis. Sometimes, it may not be even worth what they're actually doing.
-------------------------------------
That's my two cents on what needs to be improved on. What about you? Remember, I want DETAIL. No one or two line posts in this thread, since they will be swiftly removed. Thanks.

1. Level based worlds, worlds that only level 3-20 can be in unitl they reach 21 they can leave the world and go into the regular runescape. hmm, would stop alot of scammers and noobs. especially in f2p, also the auto woodcutters,fishers,miners etc. would all be stuck in one world.
2. better moderation and player moderation in game, im tire dof seeing a billion autoers everywhere. they need to make more and hire more people
3. finally, i would probably change the sign up sheet, so that you must verify when you were born, in dates and not ages. because it would be harder for younger people to tell a real date 13+ because dates are harder to leanr then a scroll dwon menu of your age. i guess if that mde sense. Also use an email signup, with a verification code, that ctivates the account?
all of these would limit the amounts of autoers and newbies in the game. jsut some thoughts. hmm.
cya around,
Kat

---------------------------------------
I would put a limit on the ammount of chat replies you can do to maybe 20-30 replies a minute for public chat and 15-20 for private
I would do this because (in free worlds mainly, but it happens in member worlds also) traning certian skills where you stand in 1 spot for hours on end(fishing, woodcutting etc) 1 person will start "1961205606120856105486..." and "@@@@@@@..." then others will soon follow, then all of a sudden your chat is filled with numbers and "@'s", now you might say, why not just turn your chat to friends or even off, well if im talking to some 1 not on my list, i dont want to not be able to talk to him becuase of other spammer. now i could add him to my firends list...well what if the list is full? then i cant add him
------------------------------------------
thats is my suggestion, if there are spelling mistakes, sorry

Here's what I would change:
1. Fix the flawed anti-autoer stuff. First of all, pure essence. Either get rid of it, or give honest free-players at least some way to get it (i.e. a 50% chance at 50 mining, or agressive monsters in the mining area to deter autoers). I know that they were trying to fix the autoer problem, but it makes no sense to hurt everyone else. Mining pure essence should also give more exp than mining regular essence. In addition, do something about random events. The new ones especially are getting to be real pains. I'm sick of constantly having to take 5-10 minutes out of my training to help the twin sisters or Evil Bob or the gravedigger or whatnot. More than half the time the rewards are completely useless anyway; almost all of the clothes and emotes they give you are garbage. Besides, the good autoers can script around them anyway.
2. Quit it with the pointless updates, especially the new minigames that no one ever uses after the first day. It's a waste of Jagex's time when they could spend more energy working on stuff people actually want. Therefore, instead of updating every week, they should decrease that to every two weeks. They'd still be updating regularly, but the quality would go way up.
3. They should actually take the time to answer some of our queries. I hate it when I ask for a clarification on the rules or something and I get an auto-reply telling me to read the rules.

I would eliminate all of the cook-x, make-x, etc. options. So many people are focused on instant gratification and JAGeX has made it incredibly easy for people to level up super fast. I'm from the old school in that I still like classic since it does not lend itself to easy levels. Make people work for their levels instead of making it easier for them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. The way that they update, sure they update once a week or so, but some are crappy updates, and some aren't even updates. You get an update or two that are like oooo we just made grass, or oooo look at the tree in edgeville, but these updates aren't really updates that we can use. we need to have more major system updates, with new items and such. I find that this keeps the game more interesting.
2. I think that the moderators need to be changed as well, the same general idea as makoto.
3. And lastly i would try to eliminate autoers. i dont know how exactally but they have the tech's and such they can figure it out. its not fair that they can get stuff without the work that we put in to get things.
anywho theres my opinion(s) cya later

im kind of blanking on suggestions at the moment, but for makotos suggestion about restricting membership to a certain level, that would take down jagex's profits greatly. The one thing jagex wants is money... I dont think they would consider it. But i like all ur other suggestions
Not the way I see it. You see, if you have less people invading the game at a lower level, this improves many qualities of members (since it's geared towards those that are mid-level anyway). Quality goes up, popularity goes up, more people sign up eventually.

Same general idea? I wanted more detail from you. What would you change? Keep in mind, my idea may have been general, but I know for a fact that it's not the fix-all solution. Elaborate, my good fellow.

Not a joke, know it won't happen but that's seriously what I would change. Everyone gets a fresh start, but higher lvls who had worked hard still have their skill bonuses.

Personally I'd like them to wipe all items from the game ie stuff in banks and inventories etc. and remove the rc'ing skill.

Understand the item wipe, why remove rcing? To have less nats to alch? Nats aren't that hard to get, people would just start mass thieving them again =\

1. Fishing needs to actually be more realistic. Catching swordfish off the coast of land? lol. They should have a boat you can take out for free or pay-fare to fishing out in the sea.
2. Saradomin Strike, Claws of Guthix, Flames of Zamorak; 1 blood not 2. It's practically a waste to have to use 2 bloods along with other runes. Ancient Magicks are different. Their more powerful, I don't object to their costs.
3. Alter the multi area's in the wild. Some of the spots are completely random. Others I can see why, but I don't like it for training on greaters or anything like that.

I'm not too sure what i would change, but as for Makotos idea with Moderators, i never realized how much some could abuse their power. I think the best way to stop this would be for the already current moderators too nominate a player that they find is trustworthy, and stuff, and for jagex to then watch over that person for the next week, without the person whose nomiated knowing. then they would make the decision.
I would open runescape classic, but it would be controlled my a group of volunteers that jagex hired, seeming that jagex just doesn't have enough time for rs2 and rsc. These volunteers could add updates and moderate everything just like rs2. If a volunteer is making stupid updates however jagex will just fire them.
The pure essence thing i think is really stupid, If jagex just added some aggressive monsters that could kill lvl 3-10 poeple that had some type of way of recording the amount of times people keep going back and forth to the essence, and if it seems like they went an inhumanly amount of times, they would attack them.
An Item wipe would be good also, it will get rid of the stupid rares, and make skills the primary source of money for people again other then merchanting.

The one that bugs me is the one with the graves. I've had the rotating shape stay in the horizontal plane for as much as 45 seconds before which makes it impossible to tell what it is. Just stop with the fancy rotation.
Ultimately, I would like to see all random events eliminated. Surely there is a more efficient way for JAGeX to stop macroers without annoying the hell out of the rest of us.

The 2nd thing I would change would be the random events that show you things that are rotating. They made the cube from the mysterious old man just shades of gray which actually made it more difficult for many people who are not color blind. I can't count the number of people who have said that it now takes them longer to pick the right shape.
its not only for color blind people, but auto programs can't tell how to figure out the cube anymore since they got rid of the colors
