@Dave Dave75
If you wanna act like you can just assume someone is a RWTer or not, it's time you got judged since your views aren't so perfect either.
There are other dragons to kill, not just green dragons. If you're not able to kill blue dragons which aren't that much higher or harder than green dragons, then please level up. If dragon bones are really that much of a concern to you, that's certainly not too much of a problem. Before rev wildy, people went to green dragons and also got pked but the bones were still in supply and weren't too high in price. One reason for the supply was simply because there are other dragons that aren't much harder than green dragons and are also not in the wildy.
Secondly, luring? Only a glass of water or someone who has the attention span of a glass of water could get lured into the wilderness now. The wall will prevent people from clicking to trade and then running into the wilderness to lure. If someone's stupid enough to see a whole mass of coins lying in the wilderness and doesn't think, "Why'd a mass of coins spawn there in a random place like that?" and not work out that they were recently dropped, then that says a lot. Telegrab is epic, they ought to try using it sometime. If someone's daft enough to not realise that meeting someone for a drop party or trade in the wilderness when the same activities can take place just as effectively outside the wilderness and not request that it take place outside the wilderness too, then that's their fault.
D2h, who uses that anyway now? There are far better choices nowadays to replace such weapons. Kbd, there are far better bosses to kill than that. Visages can be got from black, steel, iron and Mithril dragons as well as Skeletal Wyverns and Frost Dragons.
Don't pass judgements on others or you too shall be judged. We could simply have just went with a more civil and respectful way of making a point, hmm? I wish so too, I enjoy a good civil debate rather than accusations.

I honestly miss the old runescape, the only things i really like about the new updates is the grand exchange. I miss the old wildy and free trade as a young kid when i started playing and you could tell so did alot of other player because they quit after they took it away. I can't wait for it to pass :)

God im so happy for this! Old wildy and free trade were some of the best experiences (and learning experiences lol) that i've had on this game!! no matter what you do there will sadly always be scammers, but Jagex has done lots to prevent this.
Im all for free trade. I will say, i thought the ge was a godsend when it was first released. but thanks to merch clans, alot of the prices are just wack and dumb.free trade again plox! :D And to the people who are worried about scams: many updates have been put into place to prevent these. You have to be VERY inexperienced or just plain dumb to get scammed now.
Great update imo

dave dave,
If dragon bones rise in price then people will just make more money. Hardly seems like a problem. And second, I don't know if you know this or not but RWT is actually easier and cheaper now than it was in 2007. So returning free trade will neither help nor encourage RWT. If anything it'll drive the price of RS gp back up.

When i first started playing, the wildy wasnt a place i ventured into unless i had to. I have the advantage of being a little bigger now (with SW and PC....just about everyone is...although only ever did either to do a quest) so coming across a rev is just a hiccup unless there are 3 together. I dont pk and doubt i ever will... its not my thing...but obviously there are a huge number of players (including many friends) who enjoy it. So im changing my original opinion.
I believe many of the NO votes are because of the experience we have had with "noob" pkers. If the pk activity is done to make money, why then did ALL the ones i came across kill clue hunters and skillers? They were never alone. Bullies rarely are. They would camp out at clue scroll co-ordinates, mage bank, agility arena etc. One would telli block and the others would go for the kill all gleefully shouting "Poooooned". Yeah....must have taken a lot of skill to kill an unarmed player...And the reward? Dont remember spades being worth 1m even in free trade days although did sell one for 20k once or twice.
However.... pkers can do seriously good things for the economy of runescape as long as the bots are kept in check. Sad to read ones like Matthew1234 saying how much he loves bots because they keep the prices down. You want to make money pking? Great....some want to make their money skilling. You dont want to risk a lot for little reward? We dont want to spend days fishing for a low return. So go pk.. we will feed you, equip you with your weapons and armour etc but we want to be paid for it so we can have our fun too.
I keep hearing that clue scrolls will be moved from the wildy but not sure i agree with that (as long as the last clue isnt there). Clue hunters would just have to get smarter and do what rocktail fisherman do in w84. Safety in numbers. Serious pkers wouldnt be interested in us and "noob" ones would think twice.

Oh and......Revs should stay. If you stand in one spot long enough they will come for a visit. Would deter pkers from camping out at known skiller/clue spots. Unless you prefer to kill something that cant fight back?
Wildy is supposed to be a dangerous place for everyone right?
