OMG, i went to the voting page thinking 'omg old wildy.. so many problems.. and trade limit.. arrgggg'
so anyway i typed my username and pressed Vote Now expecting a 'Yes' or 'No' option.
and it turns out there is no 'No' option and i just clicked 'Yes'....
SO if I did it im sure Many others did too! meaning the numbers are all wrong! and people not wanting these changes will get it.*****;****;
so im finding the only way to object to this is to sit on the forums complaining.
So -1 vote for me thx.

this is the worst thing they could ever do. if they have to bring back old wildy remove every other pvp mini game. and if free trade comes back remove the ge. only way to make it fair. doesnt matter though if old wildy comes back im quitting rs.

Ms Toxicity makes a good point on the first page of this thread. The information provided on the main page about the vote makes it seem like you will be voting 'yes' or 'no.' You should endeavor to make it more clear that a 'no' vote actually means you don't vote at all, or add that option.
I have mixed feelings about this update. I was for it when it came into place originally b/c bots (above all else) need to be eliminated as much as possible. That is not to say that I didn't miss the old Wilderness at the time, and the trade limits had a very detrimental effect on my clan for a long period of time (we used to fundraise to buy clan armor, food, etc.)
My opinions have changed somewhat since then, I prefer the new Wilderness the way it is, but perhaps the old Wilderness could be designated to certain worlds (keep revenants either way). I am still against the removal of trade limits if it means an increase in bots.
I would vote, if Jagex were to identify that there would be:
1. A recruitment drive for more player moderators (they are far too scarce in-game)
2. The addition of monsters by resources (ex. have an aggressive bear by yews to eliminate lvl.3 bots; much like the Dwarven Mines or Living Rock Caverns)
-this would make it so bots would have to train to a higher combat level, which means there would be less
-yes, I realize this limits skillers in what they can do, but if thats what it takes to get rid of bots I'm all for it. You should accept that by becoming a skiller you limit yourself to most of the game anyways.
3. Give us the option to vote yes/no on the trade limits and yes/no on the Wilderness
Until then I will not cast a vote in support of this endeavor, I see it as too much of a risk (unless more information is provided). I would love to have trade limits gone, but I'm not willing to take on an influx of bots.

first of all i am boycotting and 2nd the voting thing needs to b fixed cuz people r voting in my name which i don't like.
i think this is a very bad idea if free trade comes back u see how armadyl godsword is 60m free people will make its price go back up to 200m which i think is unfair to the people that are working very hard to get it now.not saying me because i got all all god wars equipment.bots will come back scaming will come back why would u rechange this jst becuz u want old players to come back i am pretty sure there not gonig to come back they might have already moved on with there life or play other games.
and btw jagex saying that u want ur old players back sounds like u need money but ur hosting a contest giving away 10k bucks.i am guessing u guys r hopeing for the old players to basicly pay for the contest.
p.s-even if this doesn't go in affest ur going ot have players remad and anger now becuz u got there hopes up.and if this does go in effect then some people will quit becuz they r afraid to start getting scam and again and oh again.
BOYCOTT-haters idc what u say about me on forums or in rs its jst a game calm down.
my private chat on so if u got something to say come say it but by the end of it u going to b crying tho.

HOLY MOLY...This is huge. nuff said.
I would LOVE the old wildy back because the sense of danger when traveling in the wilderness to do mundane tasks such as going to the mage arena gave me such a rush, now there is no danger what so ever. revnents? gimme a break.
To be honest though I love the grand exchange due to its simplicity to buy the anything so easily, I believe that should stay there, but you can still make it possible to free trade while keeping the GE right?
As for the the wilderness though...it would be perfect if you kept the pvp and bh worlds like they are now and maybe just make all the other worlds back to normanl...idk just an idea

biased pole page only gives yes option - so thats wrong for a start.

so the muppets and scammers want wildy and free trade back ?

OK THINK ABOUT THIS........

think of all the extra security that jagex has implemented since wildy - free trade has gone. so scamming will return in much bigger proportions then before. BOTS will over run the game even more and account hacking even more. many the last few years just want mass money for doing nothing to earn it. so free trade again will let them turn too the gold farmers going offsite too have mummy or daddy use thier credit card to buy them gold.
THEN MUMMY/DADDY SUDDENLY FINDS THERE CREDIT CARD BEEN RIPPED OFF BY MANY THOUSAND.. TO which i say Ha ha serves you right for been greedy and lazy.
the only way to enjoy buying something like a dragon full helm,,,,, is to have gone out and worked for the money and not by going to some doggy website or scamming other player.

If folk think many players left by the loss of wildy and free trade, wait until you see how many will leave due mass over run of bots or scamming players.

Why, oh Jagex, can we not vote no? :S
And why can any random Runescape name be used? I for one don’t want my name being placed on that list! Surely it would be more effective to have people sign in first?
This game has come on leaps and bounds in the last three years and has had several brilliant updates, but just how much of that would have happened if the ‘old wilderness’ and trading hadn’t have been removed?
I’d just like to highlight some of the things that would be directly affected by the change if it happened:
Corp Beast Slaying and King Black Dragon Slaying: Many players that go to fight these beasts have kit designed specifically for that task, often quite expensive kit. However, to get to the beasts they would have to run through an area of wilderness which will, of course become ripe with Pkers wanting to steal their kit.
Clan Wars: Just getting your clan to the area without a games necklace will become somewhat harder, as many of them may be killed on route.
Penguin Hunting: I don’t know how many of you have tried hunting penguins in a group, but there’s a brilliant, helpful and quite large community that does it everyday of the week. It’s fun and it encourages teamwork and builds that community feeling. Now, should Pkers be aloud back into the wilderness, what will become of wilderness penguin hunting? Frankly, it will become a massacre of people killing the hunters for drops or just for spite (Yes, It happens.).
Agility: Again, the wilderness course will go into decline and become fairly free of players as it will become yet another hotspot for people to kill others who are just trying to train in peace.
Quests: Both of the Summer quests take place in the wilderness, as does one of the Mahjarrat quests, these spots are likely to become hotspots for players wishing to attack more people who are simply trying to go about their business.
