No good can come of this vote. Regardless of the result.
99.9% of people who want the wild back have never even read the reasons the wild was taken away. If they knew, they might not want it back. There should be a questionaire on this before you can vote.
Many of Runescape's best and most community minded players have spent the last few years patiently explaining to ranters and newbies why the old wild had to go, how the new system has stopped masses of botters and any large scale scam trading/luring schemes, and made Runescape a better place. Only to now be undermined by Jagex now who are showing they don't even believe the reasons themselves, making everyone who tried to defend them look foolish.
If there are more than, say, 500 votes for, and it isn't implemented, then there will be a whole new wave of angry ranters saying "we voted for it but you didn't let us have it, not fair!"
If it is implemented, there will be a whole new wave of angry ranters saying "it's still only the angry loud minority, not fair!"
And that will all happen if the vote was fair. And there are grave doubts about that being the case.
Whatever happens from now on, more people will be angry and upset than if this poll had never happened.
