(Re: page 1119) Indeed barrows armor was much cheaper in the times of old wilderness, i remember full dharoks being 3m in 2006, and dragon armour was expensive, like d legs 2.5m, d med 400k, d skirt 600k. whip was around 1m. the ge affected economy by rising prices of some items but lowering others. Nobody uses dragon while pking nowadays, but it was not rare back in 2006. not losing dragon while pking but barrow items still have the honor to be lost in pvp combat.

Personally I think the vote has simplified the issue too much, surely free trade and having the wilderness back are 2 separate issues and should be treated as such.
The 2nd referendum was rushed into without giving players time to think over the issues, so most players have voted on their initial gut instinct myself included.
To begin with I thought yes great back to the old days the thrill of going into the wild and being scared you were about to lose everything, although I never pked the fear of being attacked could be entertaining. Potion and armour prices increasing would be great for what is a failing economy so I therefore voted yes.
However with time I have thought about all the activities I enjoy in the wild that will be lost:- great quests, teaming with friends to fight the rev's, making battlestaves, dragon killing, penguin hunting, lighting the beacons, mining, muddy keys for me should the wild come back these activities will be gone and with hind sight and more thought I would have voted no to wild changes but yes to free trade. The thrill and fear are less now but is that because I am a higher level and rev's and too be honest pkers hold less fear for me anyway.

This is just my opinion and yes i voted no.
Free trade pro's:
- Merch clans will likely come to an end.
- Friends can now help each other more.

Free trade con's:
- Rise of hackers ( not literal, as in people will more likely steal someones account and drain it of all its possessions.)
- Rise of scammers

Wild pro's:
- people who quit the game because of when they took the wild out will most likely come back thus equaling an increase of players.
Wild con's:
- People will lure unsuspecting new players into the wild
- People that are lured into the wild will end up loosing their possessions, thus leading to a decrease in players since they will end up quiting.

~SINCE many of you guys insist these new players learn to stay out of danger, that's likely not possible, i should know i was one of them when i just started runescape. They'd offer you all their money and tell you you can get it when you kill them because apparently their quitting. Obviously you want it upfront in trade but they lie and tell them they cant do it somethings wrong. Because your new you don't really know EVERYTHING there is to runescape and since you really need stuff and they always get you to trust them someway or another, you just go ahead and don't realize what the danger is up ahead.

I know this big update is coming back and i'm going to still play runescape. But just leave the new guys alone , let them experience the fullest of the game, when you see one of them getting bullied or tricked help them out, teach them how fun this game really is, the best experience of this game is when you just start it, not when you've lost everything right when you've started to love this game.

Dear Runescape users
I know i am in the minority on here but I beg you to consider the following points before voting I believe wilderness and free trade will destroy the Runescape community because :-
1) There will be way more bots. Sure there’s bots now but they are on peoples main accounts, which means if they get caught they lose there main account. If you introduce free trade people with have a level 3 bot that gets a 99 skill and makes money, then a level 3 bot that trains magic and range so they can go into wildly with it. Then the skiller bot will feed the mage with money so it can buy runes and if there detected the guy loses 2 bots.
I personally remember seeing level 3 bots everywhere before the current trade rules .
p.s some people supporting the changes have already said they support bots
2) People will get scammed you say it won’t happen as the g.e will list the current prices right?
But what happens when the g.e prices are wrong like a Dragon Dagger super now its listed as 35k but most people pay 50-60k with junk and as it can 2 hit kill when wilderness comes out it will probably go up so people will offer to sell them at crazy prices and it’s easy to swap a dragon dagger super with a dragon dagger before hitting tick.
Also some people say people that get scammed deserve it as there stupid, well I tell you now no one deserves to be cheated/ scammed and the people cheating definitely don’t deserve the money that made off scamming people.
3) A lot is going to be moved like quests mini games / dungeons / activities this will totally change the runescape map and how the game is played.
please read next post for the final points (4-6)

4) In 2007 there where not overload pots or the new ancient curse prayers and very few weapons could 2 hit kill someone (maybe the dds and granite maul) if you was fighting someone without 99 hps and got 2 lucky hits now there is a lot of weapons that can easily 2 hit kill people that have 99hps so it wont be a player killing world it will be sit here and wait for people to fight one another than rush them world.
5) The community itself will turn ugly people if you read my previous points a lot of players believe people deserve to be scammed do we really want a community that believes new players deserve to be cheated?
Plus if they get scammed they won’t trust people in the future.
Surely we want a fair community where people trust one another and don’t think everyone’s out to rip them off?
6) I forgot to mention when wildly came out it was the only place to player kill before the duel arena was introduced now there is many more places you can player kill like the Bounty Hunter mini game, all the player killer worlds as well as the Bounty worlds there’s also a lot of safe games you can player kill in like castle wars so can you really say you don’t have enough opportunites to player kill now?
Also if someone’s just happily skilling your get people going oi Noob duel me oh my god your useless, you never played killed look everyone he’s afraid of me what a noob e.t.c hoping to drag people into wildly where there friend can jump them.
Well there my points I bet I get told buy people that support wilderness
oi y2k10 you clearly never played in the old wildy omg you’re a moron , I couldn’t even read what you put it was so illegible
but if you actually took 5 minutes out of your time to read this I thankyou and hope you can see where I am coming from

Jagex stopped free trade to keep cheaters and realworld traders out so y r they letting the scammers and real world traders back because that seem to me to be the outcome of this if they do put free trade back into the world so I think that trade should still be restricted as less honest people spoil the game for those who really want to play
