The removal of free trade ruined the economy. Now with set prices, there's nearly no interaction and haggling between players like there used to be. Runescape hasn't felt the same since, old players will agree with me on that.
For the Wilderness, old pking is the way to go. Get everything they've got, none of these cheap little drops for what you really should be getting. And they plan on keeping the extra drops, so that's an added bonus for sure.
Old players, let's embrace this poll. Newer players, you'll see how awesome this game used to be.

I really just want to say one thing...I've heard about the whole "Don't bring back the 'wildy' or else I can't do my precious clue scrolls anymore!"
---Well...
In response to that I have one suggestion as a way around this while still keeping the excitement of the "Someone could kill me any second" feeling that you get while in the old wild.
-Suggestion: While carrying a clue scroll of a lvl which would require a trip into the wild the player would be granted this :
-Immunity to loss of personal items upon death for a given time (thus preventing people from using them as a "shield" of sorts in the wild)
-An icon similar to melee,range,mage protection prayers to show others players that they are currently immune to item loss
--I think that immunity from item loss is plenty sufficient for a simple clue scroll because this way they do not become "immortal" players and simply players with a few minutes of complete item protection. This protection would (assuming they reached their destination and retrieved their reward in time) allow them a sense of well-being knowing that they got their hard earned reward and that they will be able to make it back to a bank to store it
-The time limit just incase someone's curious would (in my mind) need to be around 20minutes...This would give them time to make a mad dash into the wild to the location of the LAST clue...I don't think the clue scroll should grant them this immunity until the last clue so that players need to show productivity and a little effort in their clue before being rewarded a protection such as this...However this is merely a suggestion and insight into my personal views on this minor issue which honestly has very little to do with this ever so popular forum, but nonetheless it would probably come up sooner or later in (more than likely) a small percentage of players. I wanted my voice to be heard and now it has...for a few minutes while this forum stays on a close page =)

Hello,
Jagex there are 10% people who sacrifice a lot of things for this game. It's not about the money for the half of the people who likes to play this game. This game is always about losing and making it back. Today i would like to support pker because it was really fun back than when we used to train people used to kill us it was really funny, awesome, its not about losing anything.. it's about having fun for while till we play this game.. Lets bring wildy back lets get all player back and have fun this life is only one time u know wat i mean..... don't hate on me :D played this game for 5 years now...The only hope is don't make your genres player to quit this game its not fun :D :D

Okay, well I know that this post will never even be reconized. But I have been a player for a very long time, I was one of those Kids who couldent wait to go home and play the game. Because of the freedom, the freedom to go into the wilderness and risk it all. There is NOTHING in any other game ive EVER played where I had as much fun, and much as a rush as I did in the old wilderness. Free trade limit? its great. Sure, there will always be scammers unfortunetly, but thats a reason not to give the PLAYERS what they want. Almost every mod comment I read was to negate this update, I have even heard them say the pkers aren't the majority of the RS community. Im sorry to tell you, but the vote is 90% to 8%. You are sadly mistaken.
If you dont want to PK, DONT go to the wilderness. Its as simple as that. As to bots, and real world trading, sure it's a unfair method of getting gold in the game, but it is a sacrafice 90% of the players are willing to take! When the patch hit in 07, my game time went down dramaticaly, as to most of my friend. Sure, ive logged in every once in awhile, but nothing like I used to. If i was ever on the game it was just blowing my money trying to get the rush back from old day pking.
So Jagex, the question is, do you want 90% of the population, to finally have that rush of pking, and merchanting back. Or the other 8% of mostly mods to whine about it because they dont want to most of the economy of the game floating around PvP items. The 90% of us are waiting, thanks if you read Jagex :)

xo yungxo:
You have like 60 seconds (?) or so to get back to your items outside of the wilderness to get your items before any players can get them.
In the wilderness, the character who killed you can take your items instantly, but if you get back within 60 (?) seconds, then you can pick up whats left before other players can loot your stuff.
That's how it used to be.
