STFU ABOUT THE GOLD FARMERS AND MACROERS. Go to the fishing guild any world and tell me there aren't macroers there. The update didnt stop macroers, it just changed their strategy

I really do not support bringing back the old wilderness or free trade. Let me explain why:
First of all I can't believe Jagex changed their opinion about Rwt. When the wilderness was removed/changed they told us they had no other choice, because otherwise Runescape wouldn't exist much longer. That had to do with Rwt and I understood what was happening. I don't understand how this has changed in the past few years. Even if their detection system is better, Rwt gets a big opportunity to be done again.
Free trade has to do with that also of course. People could trade all their money to someone without getting anything back. Well, nothing within Runescape. A lot of those trades were actually paid for with real money. How can that be any good?
Okay, let's accept the fact that Jagex really wants this and also wants their players to be able to vote for it.
Good initative in my opinion, however the execution of it isn't that good.
You don't have to log in to vote, so it's easy to put in any name you want, which isn't necessary because you can vote anonymous. So 1 person can vote for 3 million account names and that's it, wildy and free trade will be back.
I think Jagex is making a big mistake with this and I really hope they do read all of the posts in this thread, because that's needed to understand the 'votes'.
Thanks for reading and I wish everyone happy christmas and a healthy 2011!

This is the most ill advised, lopsided, broken down poll you have ever done. And that is saying A LOT!!
So, you are saying we can only vote FOR this change. Not even one or the other.
So you will decide, based on some made up # that has no relevance to the wishes of the players.
No matter what happens you obviously will be returning those systems. Praise be Jagex, they did something about the bots....ever wonder WHY your current PVP system fails? Why it is so unpopular?
Pssssh. The sad thing is people will be thanking you and saying you are in tune with the players.
Why even put up this farce of a vote? Just put it back in-game. We will deal with it just like everything else you throw at us.

Hello, idk if its to late... but if a j-mod could somehow retrack my vote, I clicked the botton on the voting page thinking it would link me to a yes or no question. But instead it was jut a click for yes and thats it. I was unawear. I would greatly love if the wilderness would stay out of the game as well as free trade. Free trade just means more ppl scamming, more hacking for money, and more ppl just giving money away to ppl that didn't earn it.
And if the wilderness was to come back, then atleast make it only some worlds. I would hate to have to watch out for pk'ers again like I did 3 years ago while doing clues, quests, and so much more. Its just a unneeded hasle for fellow players like myself who dislike pvp. Even though i'm 138.
Sorry to all your pvp'ers and pkers and scammers. But its just not worth it in my opinion.

I truly have to wonder if this is in the works anyway and we're just being fed this as a way of being told its what everyone wanted.
The voting process is so flawed I am sitting here shaking my head.
Make people login so you arn't just spammed by clans that want it all back. I mean seriously!
Give us a "yes I want wildy back", "yes I want free trade back", "no, I don't want wildy back" and a "no, I don't want free trade back". Make us login to register our vote and have it counted.
I don't care if we have a say in any of this, I've played since 2004 and I have no intention of leaving. I will deal with whatever you toss my way except for stuff like this. Please don't try and make us feel like we have a say in something if we don't.

Wardivimon,
This is a player choice.
If there isn't sufficient support, it won't happen. Straight up.
Some people will want it back. Some won't.
We won't revert this unless there is overwhelming support and we feel the majority has voted.

ARE YOU INSANE?
sorry, but im really angry now, i hated wildy and free trade was more annoying than enjoyable, but.. thats not the point, id just boycott, but...
I was expecting some kind of Yes/No vote, when i clicked on vote, for gods sake, what system is it, just asking for a username? not even pass required? You must be kidding! Its not 1st April! It can be misused! Anybody can vote under name of somebody they dont even know!
And i want to take my vote back, which is impossible too.
This is the worst christmas present ive ever got, thank you very much, Jagex
hope you wont ruin my beloved game again
BTW: Please restart the poll and ask for pass and put yes-no options in it, otherwise its not relevant, and i MEAN it The Ice Queen
Also, if looking for a friendly community clan, join Triumvirate !

I am for bringing it back. Though I am a little upset of the way it is being handled. I for one have just noticed that there was even being a vote on it. I dont not much mess around on the forums nor read the main page as my time is limited and valuable. I just happen to over hear others talking about this in game.
If this doesnt result in bringing it all back i would like to see another poll posted for those not wanting it to come back and seeing if that has enough to stop it.
Honestly if being scammed is the reason for not bringing it back, especially with all the new things the game shows that is incredibly different then what it used to be, then that is sad. The game all but gives you several warnings when things are changed in a trade screen and if you get scammed its YOUR FAULT.
I just cant believe all the crying i am seeing against this cause you were scammed when you were lvl 50. If you are that concerned with being scammed then use the G.E. instead of direct trading. Dont let that be the reason for preventing this.
Just my opinion.
