Why exactly would voting "no" be an indication of how much one respects the game?
Just curious to see what ridiculous answer you can come out with. Sorry to be blunt about it, but patience is wearing thin with some of the ridiculous replies I've seen here today.

Look the Referendum is bad stuff... I have nothing against Jagex and it's making me mad that whatever Jagex does people are goign balistic about how evil they are... but anyway:
Bots are really really bad news. Some people claim there are more bots than before but that is crap. When free trade comes back bots will be scurrying all over place making money so that the bot owner can sell gp at 50 cents a mill. As long as Jagex comes up with some really hard core bot stopping software I am against the Referendum. Even then anti-cheat software isn't too reliable.. Like Valve and Punkbuster in first-person-shooters; there are still aim bots all over the place.

Respect the game more?....

Do you know how long some of us have been here? How many changes we've been around to see?
I myself was here to get the rubber chicken holiday item, others have been here longer.
Don't talk about respect to the older folks.

!~EVERYONE~!
remember this post page and tell to all the noobs in future...
here is how "scamming works"
scenario 1:
Players 1 buys 1k mage logs and 1k willows (they used to look like eachother) mage logs are on market price for 1.3k ea he selling in world 18 cammy bank for 800 ea, player 2 sees this and thinks he is about to get the deal of a lifetime, he throws up his 800k for 1.3mil worth of mage logs and clicks away at accept not wanting player 1 to think, player 1 quickly and quitely switches the mage for willows, and clicks accpet himself, now in second trade window if you where smart you would see is says willow logs (x1000) and not magic logs(x1000)... player 2 just spent 800k on maybe 30k of willows...

scenario 2:
before money was colored at diferent mils you could make 4 look like k... a whip was worth about 3mil so player 1 would sell a whip for 3mil player 2 comes and puts up 50004, now that is only 50k but it used to look like 5000k player 1 gets all excited and rapidly clicks accept... in second trade window he SHOULD look and see it saus 50004 and not 5,000,000....

simple enough? scamming cant work anymore bc money has colors and items look dif, and the big flashing exclamtion point!
jagex already stated that they will being moving some things, i do not think drags and clue scrolls should be moved becuase they where there in old rs when i played and i did just fine...
this pole is very fare, people always complaining how people are using mult accounts, i have 3 accounts and yes i voted will all of them, if you think thats unfair well make more and go ahead and hit no...you still gona loose at 925k votes nomater how many kids vote no its gona happen....
geting lured is your own fault, if kids says oh yeah ill give u p hat if u folow me and u folow, well youre about to learn a life lesson on talking to strangers...
dont wana get pkd then dont go in wildy...

People who vote 'no' weren't here when free trade and wild existed. It put so much more fun into the game. I never was a fan of the wild but I went in a few times and had fun, even though I lost a few million. I also have gotten scammed in a world and lost 2m+, it happens. You live and you learn. I used to be addicted to Runescape but when they took away free trade and wild it just wasn't fun anymore. I'm so happy they're bringing this back, and I renewed my membership because of it. If a lot of old school players see this, they will probably change their mind like I did. This is actually a good move for Jagex, they might gain a few more memberships now. Can't wait until they come back. :)

I've been playing this game since 2003, and I believe it holds many lessons in life. How great it feels when you work hard towards something, or that you have to be carful with who you trust and not get scammed. I think a lot of these lessons were taken away when we lost the wild & trade limit. By the way, to the kid who was saying vote no, and that the yes voters are cheating by making new accounts, can't the no voters do the same thing? And where do you get the right to tell people what to vote for? Vote yes or no, what ever you believe in, for me, I'm voting for yes, to stop those merch clans.
