However, they've stated that they'd need over 1million votes to even consider it; so if you don't vote - you're not going to be contributing to the count to 1M+

why are all these idiots saying there should be only limited worlds with free trade?
do you not think that rwt ers will go there to trade because they might need to switch there world?

"@Raed- Because the community has changed since then. Whilst I agree it MAY return and increase if it's brought back, it's definitely not a major concern. I bet some people actually did battle it out in the wilderness when offered a fight.
As I said; there are more annoying things currently in RS than the 'lets fight in wild then' - and what do we do? Ignore it. "
I hope you are right.

And no, its not major. Its just nice to not see it. Definately more annoying things. Weak point? Eh, maybe. I'm winding down after going for the last couple hours.
But with Jagex so focused on community, I see this as counterproductive.

For the record ... they've made a bot that checks random names from the hiscores and votes with those names (it's been like ... 2 hours since it was made) imagine if .. lets say 100 people run that bot.

The opinion that i'm getting of the people that do want it back are the people that:
A. spam the hell out of everything
B. try to enforce people to make a decision, and not have their own opinion
C. don't care if something is fair or not...
good reputation you guys.

Four words: I love you JaGex.
I recently quit RuneScape but I just got a set of text messages telling me to hurry up and get on the RS homepage.
If this update was to happen, I most definitely would become an addict again and so would most people I know.
GERRRRRRRINNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!

Okay, so let me see if I understand:
You are contemplating restoring the original wild and lifting trade limits to restore free trade. You are polling the community to get our opinion. If I like the idea, I can go to the linked page and register my vote. If I don't like the idea, I can - not vote at all. And, of course, if I'm one of those who doesn't pay much attention to announcements, or AFK for the holidays, or stalked off after having a hissy fit over some little update, I won't be voting either.
Well, not the most scientific of statistical methods. You'll get a good feel for how many people are hot for the idea, but not for how many people hate the idea. Still, I doubt there are too many people who'll have a major kinipshin over seeing the original wildy back. So, if it floats your boat, I guess it's okay.
Just one thought. I am very concerned about some of the old badness coming back if you try this, but I'm not willing to let that get in the way of trying it out. However, I don't want to see another round of flaming community rage if you try this and then have to cut back the wild and restore trade limits again. It would be very, very bad if you gave this to the community and then were forced to take it back again. So, if you decide to restore the wild and free trade, can we call it a trial effort? Make it very clear that it's a trial effort? So people won't be quite so furious if it goes bad and has to be undone?
Leave open the option of scrapping the idea if the effort proves to have too many problems after, say, two or three months. If, instead, things still look good after two or three months, you can then announce a victory for your software and your staff.

This whole vote is the equivalent of Jar Jar Binks nominating Palpatine as Emperor. That worked out good yeah?
Anyways I do have a couple more points to make, as they affect me personally.
We need free passage to minigames in the wild. I'm not about to be hounded on my way to SC or Clan Wars.
And the grave system. I don't want to give that up either. In the wild? Whatever, but not in the rest of the game.
