Ugh, When I found out about this update I immediately created a new account. Unfortunately I had to wait a few days to put my 2 cents in this thread because of financial issues.. lol. But now that I've re-subscribed to runescape after 3 long years, I'd like to voice my opinion.
Wow!
Since I discovered this thread I've read probably 400+ pages of both 'for', and 'against' opinions. I've also noticed that many people who are for this movement have more legitimate reasoning for their arguements. The people who are against it **** to be repeating the same counter-arguement; botting and RWT will come back harder than ever.
What you 7% have to realize is that RWT and botting is in every online game that exists. There isn't going to be one MMORPG found that is bot or RWT free. Where people see opportunity for profit, they usually at least attempt the method despite what the consequences may be.
RWT gets people IRL profits for rewards in-game. Everyone wants their gaming experience to be enhanced, and what better way to ensure a better gaming experience than by being able to act freely amongst fellow players? When we were denied the right to trade as much as we want for an item, it weakened the community as a whole, because everyone lost that freedom. With free trade there's more risk, more freedom, and like alot have said before me, it gives the game a do-what-you-want kind of feel.
So, returning along with that feature will be hundreds of thousands of players that quit solely because of that freedom that was lost. This is what Jagex has it's mind set on. MORE CUSTOMERS! If I remember correctly the Runescape Community back in 07 was booming with lots of members and non-members alike. After that tragic update where not only free trade but WILDERNESS as well was taken from us, alot of people turned their backs on Runescape.
If you haven't guessed already, I am yet another member that agrees with this update. Runescape is my first and favorite mmorpg, welcome back RS

"How do you know they're more valuable now? They're not tradeable."
just look at the ingredients it takes to make the extreme pots.
Extreme pots arent tradeable, but they are valued more than super sets or regular pot sets.

keep it how it is, revenant's pose a significant threat in wildy so its still risky going there. But pker's would prevent me from going in there at all, and the main thing i do is clue scrolls. i'll boycott. don't want tons of bots again and scammers out the wahzoo.

I agree with most of that sentiment, but the two runite ores in deep wildy are pretty attractive at this point in time. With only revs to contend, you can bank full loads without much fear. Maybe it's better to have the fear, I guess we'll see. In any case, just as when Jagex made the changes, we'll just have to live with whatever they determine is best for the game.

You will stil be able to go into the wilderness and complete your cluescrolls even with pkers around.
There is no reason to keep revs in the game. They replaced the fear of pkers but they arent worth the reward. Thier not worth killing.

how can you 7% no be so close minded and realize that jagex would not even put this to a poll if they did not have better technology to combat rwt better than in 2007!!!!
first off- botting and rwt is hardly any less of an issue than it was pre-2007, gold selling sites still thrive like never before, and botters are usually those gold sites getting more money to sell, all the trade limits is doing is restricting the legit players from being able to freely trade what they want with whom they want.
second off- pking used to be a huuuuuge thing. around 30% of players used to consider themselves pkers, now it's like, 5%... pking is one of runescapes ultimate past-times, and it was not used just to lure,scam, and kill people out of rage. it brang people together, was one of the main reasons people were in clans, and allowed the hundreds of thousands of people who did not prefer to sit in front of a tree and click all day a fun alternative.
third- do you know how easy it would be for jagex to implement some sort of trade scanner, which would easily be able to see if one random account was giving 10's or even 100's of mils to random players that the account had just added that day? i mean we all know they track how long we've been friends with people, and we all know people used to get banned like this, and their technology cannot get worse as time goes by...
so, what other reasoning could you possibly have to say no to the return of free trade and pking? are you mad that you got scammed in the past? there is a quick fix for that too, don't be ignorant, check the second trade screen, it's there for a reason as is the big red exclamation points and the flashing red bars in the second trade screen, there is no reason to get scammed, or hacked for that matter, as that is what bank pins are for. if you want to be safe, don't be so damn lazy you cannot take 30 seconds to create a bank pin, everyone can remember a 4-digit number -.-
no more space to type, out of characters.
