I have played for a long time. I remember old wilderness. In the past, I would go into the wilderness to hang with mates. Sometimes on dares, or for exploration out of boredom, but I would go. In the wilderness, there were many dangers. There weren't safe spots like clan wars or the old bounty hunter bank. If you were caught by another player, you were often killed. Who is to blame however? You were there. He was there to kill someone and you were there to explore. If you lost anything, it is your own fault for bringing it. There needs to be warnings, yes, but the majority of the old wilderness pking community used to fight right at the border of safe and dangerous (there wasn't a ditch back then). With that, the majority of the drop trading in the wilderness was repetitively killed, unless they found a safe area.

If free trade is reinstated, Runescape will lose all the progress it has made as a respectable force in the MMORPG business. It would go back to the dark ages, being run by bots and scammers. It would certainly lose credibility with players that actually care about working and investing time in this game the honest way, but that seems to be a dying breed nowadays.
It's slap-in-the face to anyone that worked hard for everything they've earned post-free trade. To players that have been there along such as myself, it makes the act of taking away free trade to begin with seem trivial and stupid if you were just going to give in and put it back a couple years down the line.
Jagex is going to ***** over their most loyal crowd in favor of brats that don't want to invest time in anything they do. Maybe I'm taking this game and its economy too serious, but if it wasn't serious, they shouldn't have nixed free trade to begin with.

I hope you realise that "their most loyal crowd" also includes players who want the wilderness back, I've worked my butt off since 2k7, I was kind of a noob back then, but now I'm getting kind of awesome, getting close to almost 5 skill capes soon. I've been around for ages and I still plan to be through better or worse.
