well imo i think alot of you have no read the terms and conditions to bringing the wilderness and free trade back again?
for instance..
clue scrolls wont require going into the wilderness..
g.e will stay
pvp items wont become rares and my guess is you will still obtain them somehow..
as for me? pfft i've been scammed almost everyway you can think of yet have never scammed myself (tbh i find it sad and pointless) but the wilderness has GOT TO COME BACK!!
i go countless times to bh worlds with 0 ep (as i dont want to wait for 30 minitues just to have a "chance" at higher loot)
and find myself getting less than 100k drops from 500k kills.. the risk to reward ratio in the pking aspect is terrible. on average i risk around 500-750k and thats just basic rune / barrows gloves climbing boots gear... and to be honest im not all too happy about it.
I remember when bounty hunter came out and everyone was still begging for the wilderness to come back. (i only started properly pking since bounty hunter/wilderness volcano for anyone not 100% familiar with its name) yet i found it a nice compramise as you could still pk high loots and i remember the rush of my first whip pk which i had actually smited someone for. the new "bounty hunter" just isnt the same and am glad that this poll has actually come up. and something that i think alot of ppl who pked back then think the same. HONOR - its really hard to go into a bh + 1 world and find someone that will actually dm you. thus i usually fight maxed accounts to give them the confidence they can beat me (sometimes i win) but its worth risking 500k for rather than fighting someone my lvl and having them run becuase of aparent "lag" or my "safing".
and thats another thing whats soo bad about me "safing" if im going to stay till the end of the fight anyway?
(may have gone off topic but there are still good points in this argument)

I vote NO!
With free trade back item scamming would just get worse than it already has. Merch clans may merch but prices are still affordable. If you can't afford something just go make money. I would suggest the Kingdom Method, KBD, GWD, Mithril Dragons, and if your lower level Green Dragons. If free trade comes back why would someone sell something in G.E. worth 100k when they might scam someone for 1m?
The wilderness would be ruined if the old wildy came back. The whole point of bounty hunter worlds and pvp is so you can kill players. All this would do is make the wilderness a place to be feared and avoided. How is someone supposed to get to Greater Demons, KBD, Chaos Element, and Mage Arena? How is someone supposed to get all the ghostly robes? The whole point of Revs is to simulate a regular player in the old wildy. Maybe instead of redoing the entire wilderness, Revs should just give better drops. Players would be much harder than Revs. Many people that are saying just "yes" and their reason is "cause" do not know what they would be baragining for with this vote. Many others would agree. I wouldn't care about the wilderness if maybe Jagex expanded the game. I say move all the things needed in the wilderness to a safer place (if you bring the wildy back).
Personally to improve the trade, you don't give so much freedom. I'll admit that maybe 1m would be a good limit. If you go completely to no limit then merchers will get worse and even richer. If you want to make money, go do it fairly with the tools you have. If you want to kill players go to a Pk world.
This is just my opinion so do not flame or mock me please.

I quit the game when they took away the wilderness, this account is nearly 8 years old, I have an account that is 9 years old as well. I've been scammed so many times before, it's not even funny, out of millions. To be honest, I would rather get scammed, than do without the wilderness and free trade.
Bring back free trade, and the wilderness would be a big step for this game, it's what brought it's appeal and edge over other MMORPG's. I'm so happy they finally put this to a vote, and I hope the massive majority is enough to persuade them to bring it back.

i voted yes, back when runescape had the old wildy, yeah i got lured once or twice, (quickly learnt my lesson their), but it was just part of the game and got over it, theirs a wall their now to make it noticable, also i pk, its fun, i get a rush, if i kill someone now days using smite, whats the point, theirs no item to smite cos they keep it anyway, now if it comes back, smite will have a point again, to drop peoples prayer for their items, and if you need to go into the wildy for k*d etc.... back in the day people still killed kbd anyway, they'd just use low populated worlds to avoid getting killed, same with chaos elemental or clue scrolls..... etc,etc,
free trade, that doesn't really bother me that much, but i would like the wildy to return to its classic glory.

Honestly, if you were led into the wilderness and killed for promises of money or told to give away your account info because somebody else would help you train to get you an awesome item...its your fault. I mean, i fell prey to ALOT of those guys its amazing I still have this account really! but the point is that after the first...or third time you learn and its not a problem anymore and usually people used to step in and say "SCAM! DON'T FOLLOW HIM"! or at least I did, so really getting item scammed is not an issue unless the person can REALLY fall for it and even so it shouldn't affect the epicness of the wilderness comming back! :D
Also when I kill a kid in the bounty world who has a Saradomin sword and only get a strength pot and a few adamant bolts....REALY? I could have had that Sara Sword!!!
