Please update the core metal armours bronze to rune to the updated, reforged model. It looks significantly better, would require minimal dev time and provides aesthetically appealing, timeless models that we all know and recognise from our childhoods, with superior visual fidelity.

Yeah the left option not only looks much better but is far more true to the roots of the game and would be much more recognizable/nostalgic for returning players and for certain game parity especially with regards to f2p between RS3 and OSRS. It's an iconic look and to anyone that's ever played or seen anything of RuneScape, you could show them the left one and they'd immediately recognize it, something that can not be said for current models.
The first one also matches much better with the general look of by now most of the open game world.
Honestly super free points for Jagex to claim here with the pbases

They look awesome. I do wish they had a more noticeable look of progression too tho. That is one of the things I like about the current armor. Also if they could please make it not look as plasticky. Might be just too, but the mith and addy might have too much hue imo, I do prefer the more subtle blue and green colors from the current armors, it makes them look more metallic.

They'll get a pass on this one from me since it is in accordance with their legacies, although I think the plastic-y look or as many other say kind of clay-y look that the game has taken on is fine which I think a lot of people don't. Then again, I'm very much minimalistic in general..
I think it looks beautiful in its own way and I would be fine if it is the art identity RS3 takes on across the board. It honestly feels to me as though after like a decade of trying different styles, they've found the style to which everything should be updated to align with.
I do think the current gear looks a bit overtly complex, too much going on etc... and rune straight up looks like a downgrade from adamant when going by a thread of the more complexity = the better the gear..

Them adopting the plasticky look as the standarddddddd, oh geez I hope not, if that's what you mean. I think it just makes things look too cartoony or fake, like it's supposed to be metal, strong, and durable.
For the current gear, I agree and I bet most would also agree that addy has a better design that looks like an improvement in style and protection than rune. Why they opted to not have the plume in the regular rune full helm but have it for all the other special rune helms like the gilded, trimmed, and god ones is beyond me.
Of all the current ones, I must say addy is my fave simply because it resembles the old style the most. But yeah, the current armors could def use an update.
