"If you bring back Wildy and Free Trade all the problems with Bots and RWT will come back with it. If you agree this your just giving in to the ranters and forgetting the rest of the players who just get on with it.
If it does come back I'm quitting for good this time, can't be dealing with thousands of bots stealing all the resources like they did in 2005."
all of what problems? the problems that jagex can't control bots. the problem that they couldn't detect and stop something in their programing and stop it. seriously, they did it because they were going bankrupt with credit card fraud, it has nothing to do with bots, learn what your talking about, but runescape should fix their security, not punish their players by removing the ability to use your wealth, and your time invested in any way you wanted....

Everyone used to have fun in the old wildy pking and getting loot all the time. I was one of the many that created pure characters to go out and pk with a group of people you trust. The way the wildy is at now you dont really have that much fun. All people do is go out into level 1 wild and fight until they get low health then hope the ditch. People used to wonder the wilderness in search of a target to kill. Scamming is a little bit different now due to the warnings they have about you are in danger if you cross the ditch. I am in favor of the wild.
Free trade is another thing people enjoyed. Unfortunately other sites tried to tell people how much an item should go for and when the price changes. I would say keep the G.E. the way it is but allow players to trade as much as they want for the items they want. They can always look the price up on the G.E. if they don't want to overpay. The scammers also have to worry about the warnings in the trading as well. I was a huge runescape player back then but lost interest because it feels like were being controlled what we have trade for what. I love the idea of both the wild and the free trade comming back and I am sure thatsome way they can interest both sides of the field as in create worlds where it is pvp wild and others where it is revenants.
Bots are still being used and Jagex is working hard to put a stop to it as well. Bots are always going to be used even if trade and the wild doesn't come back.

A couple of things come to mind when you say that. First of all, your stats don't look like they took 9 years to acquire more like 6 months. Second of all, if your going to quit then just quit now because its coming back for sure.
Have a great day.

Please, dont bring the wildy back. Please dont bring back free trade. I know that, compared to the million who voted yes, my meager handfull of dollars a month don't mean much but I am seriously considering quitting.
Free trade will only help the bots and noob users with rich friends, or alt-noobs. For the rest of us the prices of things will go drastically out of whack, above and beyond the madness already caused by price fixing Merchant CCs. I already cant afford the things I want. This will only make it worse.
Bringing back Wildy Pking will bring back the bloodlusting newbs who only care about pvp. I thought jagex was starting to do a great job with storylines and lore. I was so happy that the unsavory pvp-addicts had their own servers to roam around on, never impairing my gameplay. I hated the rev's but nothing scares me more than a well-equipped, thinking player... well... well equipped, thinking, coordinated teams are scarier. It will be impossible to complete wildy clues, and I imagine tons will be slain on their way to boss hunts.
In summary...
This is a bad move, Jagex, and I hate you for it. I can only hope you take it back again once you learn how terrible the game will become again.

I cannot wait for free trade and old wildy back. All I want to do is kill people in the wilderness again. After reading all of these posts from the skillers and post 07 noobs that are on these forums I want to kill me a few clue scrollers and questers too. Back in the day Runescape was a real fun and full game, now its just a bunch of people skilling and questing and a few old pkers trying to make do with BH**** is in no way shape or form a good way of pvp, all you have to do is run around with a clan of noobs and just hope you get a kill. Wheres the fun or skill in that? I remember when playing Runescape actually took skill and it was actually hard to get your levels up, now its a joke. I wish they would just take the game back to what it was in 05, that was the prime.

Obviously if they bring back the old wildy, they should put it on a separate world. No question about it. By doing it any other way they'd just upset the people who like it the way it is.
Free Trade versus Limited is the real issue. The way I see it is that Limited Trade does seem to do a lot to help reduce botting and whatnot. And yeah Jagex can never really fix that problem, but that doesn't mean that just because it hasn't put a complete halt to it you should open up free trade again, which is in fact ten times easier to bot and scam in.
Merch clans are always going to be there - and I see no real way of dealing with them other than making it outright illegal (if not already...and hey, if you think about it, they could be considered scam organizations or trusts, which are illegal in real life). Basically in free trade it is faster but riskier for them to corner a part of the market, but with limited trade it is easier yet takes a long time due to the fact that updates on limits take a while (and because of that I guess you could argue it takes more organization and trust amongst founding clan members to keep the operation alive). The system gifting and lending and increasing how much wealth you can give away can easily be improved, based on things like a set limit of how many days you must have an active account, if you're a member. The Quest Point system is REALLY frustrating, so I'd like that gone.
And...well, that's all I've got.

You know what is really unsavory? Not pkers, but skillers. Skilling takes no skill whatsoever. Pking takes skill and is actually exciting and fun. Sorry that you wont be able to do your quests and clues as easy as you can do them now and I hope that if you don't quit I get to kill you in the old wilderness :)
p.s.: the reason you cant afford things you want is not because of merchant clans, its because you are a "newb"
