Its good buisness for jagex to reinstate free trade, just think how many subscriptions for membership they'll get when every loser with his mommy and daddy's credit card buys membership for every single one of his 15 bot accounts

Personally, I think that they should bring it back, it will be new to me because i just started playing in early '09, but i think it would be awesome to have free trade. to all of those people saying that anyone that wasn't here for it before doesn't know what they are talking about, you need to get your facts straight.

Bringing the wilderness and free trade back will have some positive and negative effects. Some important reasons to consider before voting:
1. Pking today is unfair to all pkers because of the "luck" drop system. A pker with reasonable EP who downs full bandos gets 200k? is that fair?
2. Bringing back the wilderness will not mean the return of rwt, it will mean the increase of rwt.
Rwt still occurs just as much today as it has ever done, but it is in the form of account trading, and methods which jagex cannot stop. Bringing the wild back will definately increase the amount of visible Rwt but not necessarily mean that there is more in total.
3. Bringing the wild back will increase Jagex's number of member players by 10-20 thousand (going of 2007 quitting statistics)
4. Free trade will cause scamming and make the g.e. harder to use.
5. The return of the wildy will balance the economy, the current pking system has caused the economy 500bil worth of damage (quote mod mark).
6. The return of wildy will mean f2p players have ALOT more fun.
Many people are suggesting special pk wild worlds, with +1 item and stuff.
WHY THIS IS STUPID.
Pkers are called player killers for a reason. The whole fun of going into the wild is to kill non-pkers, such as people at drags, and getting their loot. If all the non-pkers went on their special safe wild worlds it would ruin the whole fun and income of pking completely.




90% of RS wants the wild back!!
The other 7-10% ARE A MINORITY!
WILD WILL COME BACK 14'TH JANUARY

I don't understand how free trade could ruin the G.E. in my personal opinion that's an improbability.
See, in free trade you need to run around all over the place looking for the goods you want. People like me who don't like to spend all day running from city to city won't rely on this system. Rather, we would use the G.E. to sell our goods for us, while we roam about doing other tasks.
Another thing that just crossed my mind. In free trade, a player has to spend a sum of time creating something, before they can sell it for a profit. Then the player must run around wasting time for somebody to BUY the item(s). They could use the free trade method for more money, or the G.E. method so they could spend the time they WOULD have spent finding somebody to buy their product, to making MORE of that product.
Basically, the idea here is that free trade wouldn't ruin the G.E. at all. The two systems would work hand in hand.
My Outlook :
Free trade gives somebody an instant high profit, but at the cost of time.
The G.E. gives somebody a moderate profit, but it can build up faster thanks to the amount of time not WASTED trying to sell the product.
Just a thought.
(Edit : I do support the return of free trade/wildy)

I have been reading through these replies and seems like the players that get lured are getting way too much sympathy and attention. People are complaining about luring, I mean comon it's a game, it's the wilderness. It's a natural process that even the lurers themselves went through. It's either you use some common sense or you suffer, this goes even to kids, you get lured once , obviously be careful and learn from your mistakes, choose trustworthy friends to PK with to not get betrayed. That will help you become a smarter and better player and PKer. And for RWT , that will always be in every game ,evens with the trade limit there's RWT , so it's pointless using that as an excuse not to bring wildy and RWT back. Same goes for bots, bringing wildy and free trade wont affect the amount of bots really. Jagex are doing everything they can to ban bothers and I'm sure that they will keep doing that. Its so annoying trying to help a friend or cousin start off a good RS account by trying to give them a decent amount of money, but no being able to do that or a gift to a close friend, which is why I quit after 3 or 4 years of playing . Obviously the YES votesfor free trade and wildy is in the lead not by a little but by 83% when compared to the NO votes, I came back last Month just because of this vote and so have 5 of my cousins and 6 friends, if people could stop looking at free trade and wildy at such a biased point of view , there wouldnt be half as much complaints And little boycott. I love runescape more than any other game I've ever played , and when I heard of this vote from a friend, it was too good to be true . If this vote goes through, this game wil be even better. - Cagunna1

First off, I've been playing since winter 02-03. I've seen lots of changes to this game. I had already started playing less, but when they removed the wilderness I stopped altogether. It was only when I heard about its possible return that I became interested in playing again.
As much as I want the wildy back, the way you went about the voting system was BS. By tricking people into voting and not requiring a login you invalidated the process. It's obvious Jagex has some ulterior motives in bringing the wildy back, or else they would have just used the standard poll system already designed.
So now instead of the players who were against the wildy's return having to accept the fact they were outvoted, now they feel cheated, especially those that were tricked into voting the wrong way.
I do however think that free trade will bring back a world of RWT and Bot problems.
However, with NO free trade, and wildy enabled it would be more difficult and you'd stand the chance of being pk'd while making a RWT transaction. Now, if you make it so there are only a few ways to enter the wild, ardy tele lever, an entrance at edge, and an entrance at varrock, it will be significantly harder because there will be pk'ers camped out there all the time.
Also, put a $ over anyone's head who enters the wild with coins or rares. To make this even more difficult, you could put bounties, and an arrow following, on people who regularly enter the wild with irregular items.
Sure you can still sell a couple mil gp by losing your whip on purpose, but it will cut it down significantly.
Also, with the proliferation of worlds now in the game, I'd like to see the wilderness only be available on 10-25% of the game worlds, or possibly dynamically adjust the opening of wilderness in a given world. It was much more fun in the days when there were only 6 p2p worlds. The wilderness was always alive with activity.
