I remember the old days...Yes, those were the good times...
But the G.E. is one of the best improvements ever made in RS, making trade nice and fair.
And there are enough alternatives to the Wilderness...
The only thing that bothers me are the merch clans.
These are the scammers of today which manipulate G.E. prices by the use of others.
In the real world, price manipulating by buying or selling products in an organized way with other people is illegal too for the same reasons.
The trade limit should be bigger (at least 5x) or even removed, but only for people who've been friends for more than 2 months or so.
Also, enabling free trade and bringing back the wildy would bring RS back to the stone age in terms of social agreements.
This would result in a mass use of bots, many scam reports and many more accounts stolen.
This is my opinion, deal with it.

Hmm let's review this spectacular voting system!
-You can vote as many times as you want!
-There's no log-in, so you can use your friends' accounts to vote!
-You can easily create a bunch of accounts just to vote for this!
-There is not even a "no" button!
Great job Jagex!

"I am NathanT
Your point is invalid. People could still have done that - they didn't remove the ability to fight others in the wilderness. "
The point is not invalid. Yes it *could* still be said. But it wasn't. I'm only obviously basing this off my own obsesrvations, but in the past three years, there was an almost complete removal of this. You used to not be able to walk into Edgeville bank without seeing this.
I can't remember a time in the last two years I've seen this at all.
So while it *could* happen, the atmostphere of the game had changed (and in my opinion for the better) and it *didn't* happen near as much.

Jagex, i've been playing runescape since '08, and ive hear multiple, no, hundreds or stories of scams and hackers and mods. in the time i've been playing, you have made many awesome updates, and i've loved practically all of them. But honestly, this'll kill the game. it'll render many activities useless, and as i said in an earlier post, it'll take the fun out of working for your items. Plus the voting system is totally screwed up! anyone could just stay up all night putting in votes, and anyone could just put a random username on. come on, if you're gonna have a poll, make it were people couldnt cheat!

I voted yes. However there is a problem I outlined in the feedback section :( I hope this isn't considered advertising, just want opinions, thank you.)
Check out my thread here and lets see what you think:
