New quick polls are sterile and not terribly thought-provoking, probably get more answers tho.
Old polls were witty as well as more fun to respond to. When I didn't like any of the choices or felt like explaining, I could come to the forum and vent, explain or comment on the wit of RS players & mods who come up with rotten or superb questions.
I could also look up previous polls to see how things came out if I hadn't checked polls in a while.
Please rescue us from rapid, cookie cutter-ness. I'd rather have crunchies, thank you.

My personal apologies if for some odd reason this is in the wrong location... but I was unable to find a better suited location for this.
I'm keeping my opinions to myself, but in the name of justice, the Wilderness/Free Trade poll MUST BE CHANGED.
There are so many things wrong with this poll, it's crazy!
First off, it's not obvious. Players who simply log onto the home page wont notice it, as it's on the third page of the News Scroll.
Second, there is no pass-protection for players. Radicals can, and already have, simply browsed the highscores for usernames, and entered them to vote.
Thirdly, there is just ONE VOTE OPTION! You can ONLY vote yes, or not vote. People can't vote against it, and so you end up comparing votes YES with people who didn't vote. Hand in hand with points one and two, this is NOT AN ACCURATE VIEW of what players want. Not only should there be a "NO" vote, but also alternative options, such as ONLY bringing back the wilderness, or ONLY bringing back free-trade... and what about the Exchange? What if some people don't want to lose this landmark?
Additionally, players can create unlimited amounts of new accounts simply to add more people to the voting roster. Hell, a majority of the people playing runescape shouldn't even have a say in this vote, as they weren't around in 2007!
Please, this is crazy. This is probably the single worst, unfair, unthoughtful thing ever to blemish Runescape. CHANGE THE POLL!!!!

I'd like to suggest to have the option to vote for either bring back the wilderness, free trade, or both. For obvious reasons I agree with free trade, but completely disagree with the wilderness.

I agree with the massive flaws in the poll, while protesting against the old wilderness my username has been taken and entered in the vote.
There are more suggestions available,
The free trade is an awesome idea because it allows players to offer excess price for an item desperately needed that other players wont sell on ge, Imagine you have died with 30m in your grave in a gwd throne room and need a item of the appropriat god to save it, it hard to get god items on the ge so offering a significantly higher price will save your goods.
The wilderness is a decent idea, but allow there to be some worlds that are left with the revved wlderness, just increase the number of revs to compensate. Designate these as CLUE WORLDS!
It would be no fun having your first decent reward from an elite / hard scroll and having it pked away as you journey to safety.
Alternatively have clue scrolls + chests give pk immunity to a player so they can get safely back to enjoy their reward.

Remake the vote to vote on each matter seperately, hold twin polls, one giving options on free trade, maybe a limit of 5 free trades a day etc.
The other can give wilderness options such as i have already discussed above.
If any mods read this then thank you for your time and I sincerely hope you will take these suggestions on board.
Yours,
Deva Jhai (formerly powello1)
P.S I have played this game for 7 years approx. I know exactly the detrimental effect that this update would have as it is currently suggested.
P.S.S It would make some quests that occur in the wilderness almost impossible to complete.

JAGEX - I SALUTE YOU FOR THE AWESOME GAME YOU HAVE PROVIDED TILL NOW!

Dear Jagex and the community, I would like to point your attention to (and sorry if it already is.. I didn't read many posts before me) the new 'Old Wilderness and Free Trade' scheme. I would think many many many many many many many many many many players (and especially long playing pkers) would enjoy this, though some players (like me) like it just the way it is now. Also as said by the CEO of Jagex, there will be alot of cheating, but that's beside the point. What I would like is there being 2-6 worlds containing the Old Wilderness and Free trade, and the the other's being normal. It would be good for everyone. Though you would have to make a large number of worlds because many people would be in them (which would also benefit other people when they're training, because the hill giants are packed). Jagex and their mods and community, listen to me please. I really don't want the New BH to be gone forever. Please Listen to me. Yours truly, Tank 666 (excuse the number if ur offended)
