Im sure if the free trade/wildy comes back. ALOT of old players will.
This is a good thing. and the main reason runescape is fun is for pking.

NOW - Bring back proper staking in the duel arena!
P.S i will probably come back too x

I am positive I pk on a regular basis. The rune cross bow can load up to rune and hits higher more consistently then the zaniks bow. Zaniks cross bow is garbage for pking. It is obvious you don't pk if you think Zaniks cross bow is good for pking.

There is much more to learn about a proper PKing weapon than it's special attack.
Zanik's crossbow may have a special attack but it can't use enchanted bolts.
Also Zanik lowers prayer. ;)

Lord Spartah are you using Eagle Eye prayer and a ranging pot?
and are you taking om mages or people in armour?
remeber because the bow is only 72 the accuracy is lower than a rune cbow so focus on mages because there amrour is weak vs bows
people in bandos have a huge defensive advantage over bows but most people in wildy wont risk full bandos however i bet a few try it.
in castelwars most people in the best armour so the bow wont do it magic unless you focus on mages who are easier to hit as they have - range defense

1) The thrill. Your heart was beating. Why? Because a little white dot appeared on your map. "Holy crap there's more than one... ahhh crap!"
2) Their loot. You get exactly what you see. They may keep a few items, but if they're skulled they only get one thing. You didn't get that chest piece they had? Well you still got their awesome shield! It's still loot.
3) It was a /challenge/ to PK. It wasn't a game of "Can I catch you before you hop back into a safe zone?" It was "Okay, I've got three more hits worth before he gets low enough in the Wilderness to teleport?" The difference? You're NOT standing right next to a safezone unless you're one of the Edgeville fighters. You don't find people far away from safe zones too often in PvP worlds. Lame.
4) No EP. You don't have to sit around to get something good. And you don't have to play "Survivor: Runescape Edition" just to have fun while also making money. PKers have been complaining of EP just go make PKing worth their while on top of the fun they have.
5) Broken Alliances, a clan saving you, etc. You meet a group in the wildy... they don't attack you. Rather, they offer you to join their pack, at least for this trip. Now a few things could happen... you could get betrayed and killed, you could have a hayday and join in the gathering of much loot, etc. But the best part? You had options, and you had to know the terrain in case of a coup. These things don't happen near as often nor are they near as rewarding as the old Wilderness.
The verdict: So what if you were scared? So what if you died? You enjoyed the experience in the end! It may have turned out sad, but the fact that your heart started pumping, the fact that you interacted with other players beyond "Sup let's fight." was what made the Wildy unique. The thrill of learning from trial and error can not be found in PvP worlds.

everyone who voted yes thinks like this:"oh, if green drags will be dangerous then we will go to blue drags". those ppl are dumb. look its simple:none hunts green drags. everyone goes to blue drags insted. and the most important: including the cannon noobs if u want it. go ahead! we'll see if runescape will have more players 2 months after the update! i won't play rs. and many of the yes-voters too. trust me. this is the beginning of the chaotic rs and an end to the good rs. if u like pk, right, you have no life. go get one before its to late
---------------------------------------------------------
relly if we dont spend all our waking hours skilling/killing drags like you we have no lives...srry we like to do the 1 thing in the game that takes some lvl of skill rather then mindlessly click a ******* tree dont even talk anymore i hope u kill yourself ****** i h8 kids like u dont like pking? stay out of the wild dont be a hater because haters get hated now take ur noob ass off the forums plz

well, this is certainly intriging. i mean, the reason we stopped free trading is because of the RWT and the scamming. just face it, its MUCH better to leave it as it is than to get more players BUT also have bots. then what will happen is the real players will leave in frustration, therefore, losing money. now the wildy..... that i have almost no problem with. the only thing is instead of moving the items away from the wildy to a safer place, why dont you make the free-pvping in worlds that have no special purpose? like others are saying? in all, please let this be a joke or a "rick roll".
P.S. i suspect that the poll MAY be rigged by RWT leaders spamming accounts and make them say yes.
P.S.S. i voted no

@Fred
Trust me, I did all of the above. Heck, I had multiple prayers running because of my high prayer level (defensive and ranged alike). But in the end, I got more frequent, better hits out of a Rune Cbow with enchanted bolts of my choice.
Maybe I'm just unlucky, but Zanik's Cbow never quite caught on with me as a particularly effective Cbow.
