Man I must say I hate the people who say oh Jagex won the Joystick award, let's worship them. It's not their game, it is our game, so the one's who play should be the one's who are making the decisions. Look at games like Call of Duty, if there is something wrong with the game that people continously complain about, TreyArch will take note of it and patch it instantly.

I've gotten scammed before on Runescape way back since RSC. Idk what it is but the idea of me getting scammed makes the game a lot more exciting to me, I have gotten scammed a few times and I can truly say I have learned from them and gotten more experienced when selling items on Runescape. There are millions of people who play RS not all of those people are honest players ofcourse and that's the way it is with ALL games not just Runescape so learn to just accept that and try to be more responsible with your account and careful when trading. I love the old Runescape! Many of my friends are gettng ready to rejoin when this update comes out.

You attempted PKing once and it ruined your account?
Well who is to blame there then mister!!
You only take what you're willing to risk. Sounds like your inept ability and poor judgement were to blame rather than the wilderness.
Furthermore, to deny hundreds of thousands of players the right simply because you tried it once (how scientific might I add) and hated it is absurd and quite frankly ignorant to anyone elses desires.

@Senssational
Wanna share that experience with us? If you pked once, and never *ant to pk again, it sounds like you went pking in some overly expensive gear, not knowing what bonus' your looking for.
Thats how most people ruin pking for themselves. They grab a whip and full dragon when all they really need is some rune and a D scim and DDS.

@Ichulo:
Not to mock you or detest what you have said, but what you have said proves you were barely here for the old ways. As I have stated in earlier posts I have played since 2001 and have experienced just about everything runescape has to offer.
First off I would like to counter-dict your statement of the pros and cons of the old and new wilderness in that the new wilderness is "better." Firstly you say that people used to trick lower level players and con them into the wilderness to get their items and valuables. IF you do not remember, the wild is specifically a dangerous place and is meant for you to be killed in by other players, it says this on the runescape tips as you are logging in. Secondly people still do it today, just in other forms: 75k trick, free-to-players luring still for common items, and much more.
My second point i would like to say is that the old wild gave me a sort of omnious scary look on the world of runescape where only the elite go and if you tread in their abode, you will surely die. This in itself set your will, skill, and ability to trust in your friends to seek new treasure in lands unknown. As we speak however, wild revs. scower the landscape Ice barraging, ranging, melleing the hell out of all their victims, completely unrealistic to what was.
Finally you disagree with free trade and I find it slightly humorous.
-You say scamming is virtually impossible? Well obviously you haven't heard of merchant clans. They scam the life out of runescape players faster then the king black dragon can kill me! Secondly merchant clans cause prices to sky rocket and players in these clans sell these items at ridiculousness high prices scamming anyone in their sight.
I say bring back the rollback of old runescape.

i would love to see free trade return but as for the wilderness i like it the way it is mostly because i have recently discovered red dragon isle and love the xp and rewards from killing those dragons but if the old wilderness comes back i will be blind sided on my way to my new favriot place by someone much more prepared and alert and i would lose my mystic mage armour and blood runes

@All who detest free trade due to scamming:
This is a game, lets be reasonable, this is not real life, the world will not end by loosing a couple items to some fool who believes scamming is right.
Honestly on the reverse I believe scamming, if unfortunately happens to you, that it teaches you a LIFE LESSON: the lesson that not everyone is trust worthy and that people will do anything to steal from you. To keep yourself safe. It's taught me a great deal being scammed.
EDIT:
@Sensational:
I had the same happen to me too, I tried pking for the first time, lost a few 100k(was a lot back in the day i was a noob), completely hated pking because it was a waste of time and money. Yet, once i learned more about it, it became slightly fun...It takes getting used to but it is fun at points in time.
