You don't have to specialise in RuneScape from Megaomgchen's blog

Likewise, despite the action bar being a big portion of RuneScape in the future, we are not forcing anyone to interact with it. If you want to keep interacting with RuneScape because you did before, you can, and you will not be penalised or handicapped by doing so -- indeed, it'll be possible to OSRS gold reevaluate the action bar if you want to maintain your UI clean.

We've also stuck into our roots of freedom of choice. We're proud of how you don't need to specialise in RuneScape, and we never aim to make a class system that locks out gameplay dependent on the choices you made when you created your account. I can't say too much just yet, but we are making a bunch of really cool changes to make sure that, however you develop your character, you will get a range of viable combat options available to you. Stay tuned for more info in a future Og Blog!

Simplify balancing and code. The RuneScape code base has over a decade of development layered onto it, and can be a tricky spot for developers to work. Starting fresh with a centralised system means that we can spend less time sifting through our code heritage and more time making awesome content that you enjoy. It's also the perfect time to rebalance lots of the items which are poorly represented in the current game (such as adding more benefit to 2h equipment throughout melee and ranged, and restructuring'weakening' spells), and reconsider the things we believe to become overly strong. It follows that every single piece of gear will have strategic choices connected with it, through its own stats, associated NPC weaknesses, and abilities available while using it. As I've mentioned previously, the association between DPS and healing right now makes incorporating higher levelled equipment very tough, so we're rebalancing all of that also, giving gamers the ability to get tons more life points by sporting more armour. This, in turn, will give us the freedom to discharge larger and better gear in the future that is for more suited to our elite players (people who have one or more combat-related levels at 90+).

As with many things in life, the effect of change is often unpredictable. Therefore it's a dangerous time to be trading or speculating about how things might rise or fall in value. We're extremely likely to be changing stats, effects, special skills etc throughout the beta, so the purchase price of buy RuneScape gold things in the live match will probably vary greatly and erratically.
