Honestly, i vote YES, for sure, both the GE and the removal of the old wilderness may of helped runescape when its come to botting and RWT'ing and other such crimes, but it has also disadvantaged them,
disadvantages such as;
merchers, clans, MASSIVE clans manipulate the GE, hmm to me sounds alot like cash farming?? just my opinion but people doing nothing but buying some obje**s and then waiting to sell them sounds like cash farming, and jagex has brought that upon themselves, with new vigourous force i think jagex would be able to re-instate the wilderness and free trade and also continue protecting our worlds of botters, RWT'ers, merchers, scammer, lurers, and all the other threats,

Also the removal of the old wildy and also the instating the GE has resulted in many players quitting, i myself quit for 2 years, only recently started back, i think after people gain knowledge of this happening they would re-join this fabulous game,
myself being a pker i would find it awesome, it is all i used to do, me and a few mates sitting at varry wildy just chatting and helpin each other out? cant do that anymore, theres either 1v1 or massive pker clans that just mass you.. THAT is not pking
PKING is the old wilderness PVP and Bounty are poor poor excuses for pking.
in conclusion,
IF you like runescape at all, and would rather face a few problems but have amount of players rise back up to old numbers and the MAJORITY of players playing the game the way its meant to be played, vote yes,
if you's rather a minute number of players with still a large number of cash farmers RWT'ers and just people who play to make runescape a bad place for people trying to have fun, be one of them bad people and vote no, ruin the game for everyone else

VOTE YES!

YES YES YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!!!
i have always waited amongst this 3 years time since the wilderness and free trade being removed
while all my friends and other people told me to let go because it wasnt going to come back i held on to a small bit of hope that one day it would return in a small miracle
this is that miracle and its become a very near reality
i am positively 100% for it! i used to pk all the time chilling with friends and stuff and just sit around walking wildy! it used to populate the whole game! BRING IT BACK!
the g.e: personally i hate the g.e and think it should be removed all together because of the problems it causes and it makes the game rather "fake"... runescape takes the set of medival times and let me say in medival times you dint go to one big tower to sell and buy things automatically... you went to towns or markets in different cities...just like old runescape used to be and we actually had a player econamy not just fake prices decided by the g.e...

to the people that are against it because they "got scammed"
if you got scammed it only shows you wernt carefull with your account or items...it teaches you a lesson...about reality and in reality we dont live in a perfect world shielded from all dangers and harms...if you value somthing then look out for it because if you got it "scammed" that shows you dint care about it and shouldnt be complaining... and if you got "lured" i doubt you would fall for it again and we shouldnt have to suffer because of your stupidity

as for down below:
yeah bring back the old d skim graphic...this new stuff is junk stop trying to compete with WoW your losing runescapes uniquenes ...

I know for a fact that no one will really be looking at my reply because i am so far into the page but here is my idea.
-Everyone who is hating on Jagex making the poll 1 sided in the beginning needs to stop it was a mistake I am sure and it is fixed.
-(Jagex) If the majority of the community votes yes on bringing the wild and trade back so be it your business will be going ecstatic on how many old players from 01-07 will come back to play once again and purchasing membership to play the game they loved.
- Yes RWT will come back but it is a game it is not like Jagex is loosing money
-Lures was a big deal which had the risk to the game such as scamming which helped you keep an eye on when you trade with other and watch out when you enter the wild.
-other thing i think should come back is the old pest control and how it use to be and also this is my opinion the looks of scimitars back to old look

Myself and the majority of voters say YES so lets get our pking gear and gifts ready for this remarkable update that is going to make Runecape's population and economy grow!

I voted YES. Why? I don't know. I just feel that wilderness is part of RuneScape that makes this game unique, however, wilderness and especially free trade is part of RuneScape problems like scams. And some of the players, I believe, are looking forward to this, to scam. So i suggest game administrators to concentrate and look after the game and if the scam rates increased, you could eliminate the wilderness and free trade once again, but this time for good. So players could only blame themselves.

Bringing back free trade will lead to uncontrollable prices. The in-game economy will be affected harshly. It will be unfair for those who bought stuffs for 1mill today and the price drops to 500k the next day. Players will have the control of the price which will be hard for Jagex to maintain the value of items. Items in heavy demand will shoot sky-high without limit. The Rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer. Also, what if a generous rich player decided to sell Santa Hats at 1 mill each? The price of it will drop making it not special anymore.
If Jagex were to still bring back free trade, I would suggest having a transition from trade-limits to no trade-limits instead of having it straightaway by slowly increasing trade-limits. This way, players can adapt to the changes and know what to expect in free trade.
OR, Jagex could re-introduce Free Trade for JUST 1 DAY. At the end of the day, review the price changes and the damage (if any) that is done to the in-game Economy.

I voted no, mostly because I was never a fan of the old wild, and with no trade limit, people will decide what the price is, and thats in runescapes past, hasnt all that been gone long enough for everyone to realize, that the changes have been pretty good overall, the only thing I have to worry about in the wild now is maybe getting attacked by a wandering revenant, if old wild comes back, wont it be annoying to get pk'd while trying to do a clue?
I just think that its been gone so long now that everyones having "good old days" flashbacks on things that were never actually that good, I bet half the people voted yes just because they want to be able to trade money between accounts and get away with what they did before.

I promise you, runescape had a better economy before GE than after GE.
S'all to do with supply and demand, and the elasticity of a product

Probs. 90% of the people complaining here have started AFTER the wildy/free trade was removed so they don't know it. I personally like to set my own prices and **e if someone buys, if someone needs an item real bad I can just sell it to him/her with a little more cost and make profit. I mean c'mon, wouldn't you like to see all those people in Falador park and around varrock bank again selling ****? I sure would. I mean of course not that many since the GE will stay but you know what I'm sayin'. And what comes to bots Jagex has stated that they are able to handle them. AND Jagex has said that they will move the clue scroll spots, quest spots, corp beast etc. what are in Wilderness atm. SO DON'T WHINE ABOUT THAT. And what comes to you 2009/10 prods at pking. Now if you kill someone risking rune, fine you get his rune. But if you kill someone with divine ags etc. etc., you get them and be happy. Gravestones are gonna stay and if someone kills another person in wilderness, other people cannot take the killed persons stuff from the ground if I recall right**** was different in 2007, in a good way. And I'm sure this update will make some prods quit but many more to come.
