Fredup your post really doesnt make much sense. Your insisting that if we keep free trade and wildy out the community is going to be happy and trust everyone? It's not even like that now. Your saying if we keep those out runescape will be a utopia. well it's not, this game will never be perfect, nor will the community.

Let's face it, the old runescape was the best runescape.
the thrill of losing everything you own and practically giving it to your killer for them to reject or accept made the wilderness the wilderness. I havent played rs since 2007, but when i saw this referendum, me and five of my old pking friends in real life made a pact to start back up if it went through.
New players: stay out of the wilderness. . i played from 2004 to 2007 and of course i got scammed, of course i got hacked, of course i got lured into the wild and lost my possessions. that thrill is what drew me in. Its practically gambling. i never quit. free trade and the old wilderness become addictions.
Bots? face it, you can never stop them, but think about it. if every bot in rs was defunct, supply of everything would plummet, and prices would skyrocket. this is a game, not real life. if you would like to play legitimate, go for it. half of the bots pay 6-12 dollars a month for membership, jagex profits. They keep prices moderate on popular items. I don't use them, but i could care less if anyone else bots. it's an accomplishment to say you got a 99 stat legit. a bot is just a bot.

I see all these comments regarding "gifts". All rather pointless, IMO. I'm not giving, and not likely to receive any "gifts" from other people.
Free TRADE. Players trade all the time. Fishing, for instance. A bunch of people just PK all the time, never taking time to fish. Others are skillers. Some people work hard to get a skill cape in fishing. So - the fisherman sells his fish to a cook, who in turn sells those fish to a PK'r - AT A LOSS!!
I think that free trade will fix that. The fisherman isn't going to accept much less than 900 coins for his work. And, the cook isn't going to continue selling his fish at a loss.
So, who pays? That silly PK'r will take up the difference.
Hey guys - cooked shark almost always sold for 1k or more before the GE was created. Raw shark sold for something less than 1k. The man in the middle was able to make a little money for his effort. It may have only been a coin or five - but he made something.
I've argued before against skillers subsidizing the activities of PK'rs.
Bring back free trade. Do it NOW!!!

Citruskill i stared in 2001 in classic jsut as they got rid of the jail and disc of returning i played for a few years befroe goign to college and uni when i quit.
i then came back in 2006-2007 and **it shortly after the wildy as yes i know this is a shock but i was one that hated it when they changed the wildy.
i came back 3 months ago because a friend who has played thid since the start begged me like mad and then she enjoys calling me a noob now (I used to be way higher than her so its revenege i guess lol)
and heres the bigger shocker i prefer the game as it is now that the game 3 years ago with willdy i like all the new mini games and being able to go into wildy and kill gree ndragons or go into the abyss and know i got to watch out for relevants so might get killed but i aint going to walk into a player killing clan.
how will the communinty be good now as apposied to the new one?
well i admit its never going to be perfect but if it was full of level 3 bots like in the old days i cant see new players being able to mine iron as easily as they can now.
also theres no people going aroudn scamming millions of people now as it can't be done.
so while its not perfect trust me when i say in the days of faldor massacre it was a horrible community.

@ rawr: A effing men. RWT doesn't affect me.
jagex is already a multi million dollar company. So what if another company plays a game to make some extra income.
so be it if they want to be stingy and decide not to let other companies profit as well.

@ fred:
scamming. . item scamming?
really?

free trade wouldnt take away from the giant flashing exclamation marks in the trade screen, or the current ge price for items.
still two trade screens, ridiculously readable.
the only legitimate excuse for scamming is luring, and that comes with the package. we all went through it.
its the real world of games.

raw are you a adult or a kid i ask because if you have a son that sees he can buy items on a game he don't understand there virtual there not worth anythign and that its cheating they beg and beg for the item and get upset you won't buy it for them.
in some cases i actualy seen kids acess there paretns credit cards and rack up bills of £450+ on virtual items.
plus the people doing the rwt are using bots to make the money/ pay for the items meaning the games flooded with bots again.
