I think the update to the smithing is a good update. The update for the Life Points just seems pointless and useless. Why fix what isn't broken? It's another WoWification of RS.

Actually, if you actually read why they did it you would see it increases accuracy. Say for example the attack in Jagexs databases or w/e calculates to be 0.43, 0.65, 0.32, 0.43, 1.14 the attacks would be 0, 1, 0, 0, 1. Now they would be 4, 7, 3, 4, 14. This increases accuracy and also prevents boredom when constantly hitting 0s when you start the game which is a turn off for so many people. It also links to a new quest.

 It's all the same really, the only benefit  in concern of the constitution update I can see is that you can now use the constitution skill as a requirement, as well as use potions that boost the skill rather than heal.
