I vote for FREEDOM!
Ever since the trade limit and no wilderness Runescape has just not been the same. It has been more restricting and boring. Weird work-arounds were created to make up for it, but they hardly satisfy. I've seen Runescape turn into a much less personal game; something that I loved about it in the old days.
I really do not understand those who are against free trade and the real risk of the old Wildy. I think the people against don't really understand the underlying issue that this vote is about. It's about a move toward freedom, which means you get more risk, but possibly greater reward in the wild.. not what some "system" randomly gives you. You can actually do what you want with your own money. You can give to friends, make good deals, not be trapped by the GE prices, you can pay for things beyond items: services, favors etc. With more freedom, comes more community as well. For example, one has to build a relationship of trust before you lend anything to him in free trade.
The arguments against bringing it back usually have to do with the quests/treasure trails in the wild, and bots/rwt. I'll agree that bots and rwt are a big issue but I believe that a little more "crime," so to speak, is the price you pay for freedom. And if Jagex says they have increased their ability to handle it, then we should take their word for it and stop the "righteous" rants about how it'll bring all the bots back. As to quests and treasure trails... that's such a minor issue.. it's hardly worth mentioning. BTW, no one has said anything about the GE going away.
I for one am totally for this move! I hope the majority think like me. It's about the feeling of freedom that you get in free trade and free wild. It's a subtle but important difference that I think some dont get.
SO. ALL YOU AGAINST. Please THINK about this issue and vote YES. Do you want a FREE Runescape? Or do you prefer the status quo of restriction and the impersonal nature of runescape as it is now?

The trade limit should be removed and the old wilderness returned now that RWTers will no longer be a threat to the future of the game.
It is often said that cheaters ruin the game for honest players. While that does hold some truth, in this case, the updates made to stop cheaters are what ruin the game for honest players.
So what if that guy over there decides to RWT? There's a good chance Jagex will catch him anyway. The updates will improve the game for every honest player MUCH more than knowing a few people decide to cheat will hurt them, and anyone who denies that is, to be honest, insane.

I would vote "NO" in any poll to bring it back.
**til the bots and RWT we have now are under *ontrol I don't see bring wild/free trade back doing anything to help that matter.
Now, if you were able to confine wild to a few worlds I could see voting yes.
Free trade? I really have no comment on that as long as RWT does not increase to prechange conditions.
As a long term player it is already disheartening to see so many still in game that cheat.

=Change the trade limit to 2,500,000gp per 24 hours, no trade limit for long-standing friends. "


that good idea to change that trade limit like that
if you have really good friends

but if you have friends that you knew who for while like in few months then they will switch to no limit trade.
something like that?

Personally, I am of mixed feelings about Free Trading.
One way of looking at it, is that it was a MASSIVE abused system, with insane amounts of scammers, and Rwting. Obviously, Rwting is the more serious of the two, but many a "noob" fell victim to the old scams.
However, on the other hand, you could have noble intentions and want to help out a friend, who needs 20k fast. Or you have spare stuff lying around that you don`t need, but you`re friend might.
Or even you just feel Charitable and want to give some cash to your friends on Christmas, their Birthday, or any celebration you may have.
As for the Wilderness, I personally did not like it; Far too many groups of Mage/Range tanks that would demolish everyone in a group, no one standing a chance. The "True" Pking people have talked about was not a common sight when the wildy was truly, well, the Wilderness.
Alas, that is just my personal opinion and I appear to not be the minority. :/

One thing I would like to address: You do not need to enter a ******** to vote. In my experiance, I found someone had voted for me after I clearly stated, "I will not be voting for this, as I do not want it."
