I have voted yes on this poll, but i will just have to be careful in the wilderness. I started playing late 2005 and at one point i got "accidentally" hacked by a kid (somehow he had a username that was like mine and had the SAME pass as me! Sounds suspicious doesn't it?), and his brother came up,logged in and took my g maul, dds and full rune. Later he gave me back my stuff, except my full rune, which he replaced with adamant and denied that i ever had rune, and said i was wearing "green armour", yet when i got my stuff back the guy was wearing rune. That was the only problem with free trade, that people can hack an account and trade things of any value. I also know the danger of the wilderness cause once i had a g maul and some rune armour and this ranger came up to me and he killed me with his mage bow. I lost my g maul and full rune which all together made 500k at the time and that was alot to me.

first page, 8th post from forum mod: DobbelB
"The GE should stay, along with the GE price in the trade window."

^^^i agree because remember the good old days, where before the grand exchange you had to go to a world, and find an area where such as falador park above the east bank, and say you wanted barrows you had to go to that spot. or go on the forum to meet someone for the item.
dont get me wrong the grand exchange is helpful, but the way ^^up here^^ i find more fun where your trying to find a bargan (cheap price).
so i say keep the grand exchange with a set price (going up and down in price according to street price) and if you want to find a cheap item you can go there or if you want to get more money for an item your selling you go sell at the trade worlds/forums.
:D

Oh my goodness jagex, I cannot believe you would even CONSIDER bringing back the old wilderness. I don't now about you guys, but I sure didn't enjoy being pk'ed every time I stepped foot into the Wilderness... :| But who was dog?

My opinion on this is in favour but here are some ideas to help on improvements.
1. brand new accounts that first start out all begin with a trade limit. honest to goodness players and new players will not have that much money to begin with and would only "unlock" free trade once a certain total level is reached that cannot be easily done in a week or so. this way noobs who are playing the game for real may not even know they have a trade limit because noobs dont have much money to begin with in the first place, so if real world traders want to rwt, they have to risk their actuall high level accounts and fail epicly, and have themselves banned and eventually ip banned.(i use the term noob here defined as an actual new player)to make sure that botters do not spam this the total level would have to be somewhere in the hundreds, that way they cant just get their wc to 99 and have it work.this is assuming bots mass up again afterwards. after all there are real world traders who dont need to rely on bots as they are very very good merchanters with lots of money to invest or other means of money making.
2. the wilderness is reverted to its own state but, to encourage players to venture deeper and have less people running away everytime their life gets low, introduce bigger rewards as they go deeper into the wilderness, this way if you do kill someone you do get their items still, however say you happen to be in level 50 wilderness. your chances of recieving statius pvp equipment would be greatly increased as opposed to lvl 3 or 5 because your taking a much much larger risk.also, there is the occasional treasure trail person with a clue scroll so there should be worlds with the wilderness disabled so there is still a somewhat safer way to traverse the wilderness without being pked all the time.
If you agree with this (or even if you dont :( ) go ahead and reply on this forum supporting this idea with a few of your own along with your thoughts and opinion ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

I think this is a really gd way for getting lost customers back and i voted yes for it coz i dont really like having to get ep up for pking or having to risk to get decent loots. i know this would mean that for people who like doing tt it would be like the end but why not ask jagex to make a clue world or make 1 or 2 world where people can do clues and as for real world trading and botting, botting has been around since ages and there are so many that there are so hard to keep track of and people make new bots every day and you cant exactly put full stop to cheaters because they will always find new ways and as for RTW i see people complain about it so much and well what can you do about it? there are so many sites if you go and just type "rs sites" so these 2 problems are never really gana go away. well thats what i think any way but i also think that they should keep G.E and that "price check" function coz that wil help the new players a lot and if you use common sense scamming wont be a big deal to you.
Go Jagex and happy 10th anniversary

I partially agree with that, Bombsquad But you will just have to be careful, i'm not sure if they're moving fog or any other minigames from the wildy, but i know they are moving quests and maybe stars, but im not quite sure.
I do know that jagex are putting bonuses in for the people who DONT want to pk, or get pked.

Will you please read the update details before you post?
fist of guthix is getting moved, and level 110s can't attack you in the wild if you are only combat 77 (assuming you stay below level 33 wild, which is very deep).
Also, it isn't right that there is currently no risk attached to green dragon killing. You should not be able to make that kind of money without risking something.

Solar, PLEASE just read the details before you post things that have been answered a million and one times? it says on the vote page that all minigames like FoG and clanwars will be MOVED
revenants will be re-located too.
