Well when I first saw this, I figured that the wild was gonna become even more of a wasteland than it was before, ya know, with all of the crazy items and weapons added to the game since, but looking at things carefully, the wild might not be as dangerous as people think. Heres my rational:
First, that wilderness wall isn't going anywhere as far as I know, meaning you won't accidently wander into a deathtrap all of the sudden (unless you manage to 'accidently' jump the brick wall safeguarding runescape)
Not to mention, I would bet jagex would reinstate the doomslayer's warning on the wilderness wall, yet another thing to keep accidentals victims away
thridly, considering they're isnt going to be any +1 worlds or any of that jazz, people will think twice before attacking someone and getting themselves skulled. Example? I just recently obtained my first chaotic weapon, and I would personally have to be an IDIOT to bring it anywhere in there. Unlike other weps, you cant just get over the loss and buy another one to get the job done, chaotic weps take hours and hours of seemingly never ending dungeoneering to obtain, I personally can't expect anyone (or at least not many) to risk chaotic weapons in PvP combat, save for the occasional berserker.Considering its so easy to misclick and skull yourself out there, I just see it as too risky
My point is that the wilderness isn't going to be as bad as people think. Those who read the fine print know that majority of the minigames and such in the wild will be relocated, as for things like the green drags, if you're going in there to fight dragons you would be fairly prepared to at least survive long enough to try and escape. Its not like the wild levels are not going to be there, people around your range are only able to attack you. Generally speaking, higher level'd players would be able to be more prepared for the larger threats of higher leveled gear.
As for pures, your on your own. Stay on your toes :P
Cheers, wiz

I thought I would throw my two cents in. I've played RS since 2005 and I remember the good days.
To all the people who disagree with this update:
You must have never played Runescape back in the old days before the worst update in its history. Runescape was perfect before they ruined it with those updates in 2007. You could help your friends out by giving them money, you had to search for a seller to buy your items from and when you finally got it, it was awesome. Now don't get me wrong, the Grand Exchange was the only good thing to come out of those updates back in 07. I think its a great idea and I'm happy its staying.
To all the people who are uncertain about the Wilderness or they are afraid to get killed:
Again you never experienced what it was like with the wild and I feel sorry for you. For those who don't know, it was a place where you could go and fight other players and kill them. Your reward was that unfortuante player's armor, weapons, money, etc. If your scared to get killed, DON'T GO IN THE WILDERNESS! SIMPLE AS THAT! If your not the PvP type or you don't wanna risk it, DO NOT GO THERE. They don't need revenants anymore since the threat of being killed will be there.
To all the people who are uncertain about how free trade will effect them:
The markets will adjust in time and everyone will know the prices. You cannot possibly understand what it was like if you weren't around before the updates. The only way I can explain it is everyone knew the prices either from others or just observing sellers and it was your fault if you got ripped off.
Finally, to all those who are worried about getting scammed or facing the effects of RWT:
Personally, I never saw the effects of RWT on the game and I only got scammed once OUT OF MY OWN STUPIDITY. If you get scammed, IT IS YOUR FAULT. It is your fault if you missed the warnings or weren't paying attention!
It is about damn time Jagex fixed their mistakes. Look at the polls, everyone wants the old days back.

I said this yesterday so ill say it again
Fact: 90% vote yes and not all of them are bots

Fact: only 7% vote no and id say some of them are bots too
Fact: there are new ways to combat bots that make the
strict rules pointless
Fact: we did clue scrolls and quests in the wilderness
when pking was around and we did fine
Fact: the 7% have lost and are now being babies
