I don't really find words to describe how pathetic is ranting about getting killed in Wilderness when runecrafting, doing clue scrolls, penguins etc. How did we do clue scrolls back then in good old days? Yes, we actually had to go to Wilderness and there was a risk to get killed. But that is exactly the spirit of the game.
It is good that Wilderness will be dangerous place once again (nowadays it is peaceful skilling place, what it shouldn't be). PKing is the meaning of RuneScape.

Ever run into the Chaos Elemental, 2 Rev Orks and a Rev Dragon all at once at the Rogue's Castle doing that lvl 3 clue worth <5k? Plenty of danger in wildy as it now exists.
I do appreciate your wishes and opinion, but why can't we have ours?
Conflict vs. Compromise...just like the real world, huh? And we know what great shape that's in.
Can we institute RS world-wide bank fraud? How about "No-fault-greed-based-oil-spills?" Bailouts of PKers who get anhiliated? Possibilities are endless!!
And thanks for the flame Pappa...you reinforced my point. Didn't take too long either. See Pavlov's dog experiment...
GOOD OL' DAYS - We used to ride horses and club stuff to death for raw meat to eat. Please, sincerely, enjoy these changes. But to cast us into angry flames (pun intended) for wanting the present? That's the attitude of which I speak and RS will be worse for many of us when this is the prevailing atmosphere. I like driving to a restaurant. :)

No, Wilderness is totally safe area nowadays. Revenants are nothing. Killing them is very easy and escaping from them is a lot easier (they can't even run, wtf?). And it is common also that people walk with their rares in Wilderness and make fun of Revenants. The risk of entering Wilderness will finally return.
Well perhaps 90% of people know how things should be. That's not a surprise at all, people aren't stupid. The Wilderness will return to its' former glory! Only the strongest and smartest ones will survive, so not every kid can do their clue scrolls so easily anymore...

I love this change, ive been playing runescape for 5 years and miss the old trading and good pking. You don't have to wait to build up a % to get good loot, which isnt even assured. you go out and get what your opponent has, they know the consequences of pking. In my opinion if you're old enough to have a credit card you're old enough to understand the risks. And if you get lured well then shame on you, it's just common sense that you don't follow a guy in full mage gear with an ancients staff into the wildy with all you cash. so i'm a firm believer that if you want this back you must have experienced it before and understand what goes on.

i agree with pappa, this update will make clue scrolls alot more exciting plus they will be more rewarding as not every1 will be able to survive in the wilderness to complete the clue :) finally clue scrolls will be rewarding once more! :)

Dynan3, it's pretty insulting to say that pking is ego and profit based. I'm assuming you are one of those people that likes only interacting with NPC's. In fact you called pking "carnage", so it's obvious you have no idea what you're talking about.
For the majority of players pking has nothing to do with any of the reasons you listed, and has everything to do with fun. Have you ever played a game online against people? It's entirely different and more challenging than fighting computers 24/7. There is respect in the wilderness too, especially between pkers. People that skill at the Grand Exchange all day are no more civilized and respectful than people in the wilderness.
So before you trash people, at least get to know them. Don't meet one pker while you're doing runecrafting and assume everyone is like that.
Your opinion is just that, your opinion, nothing wrong with that and I respect it. But attacking people like that? Talk about being incredibly immature.
Pkers ONLY have the wilderness, non-pkers have the entire map, grow up a bit.

I would like to say two things;
1- First, I think the way the poll was displayed on the page before it was very visible, where as this actual (real) poll was displayed less visibly, I almost missed it. So I have noticed alot less votes. Also I think some people may think it is the same thing as before, as alot of people probably gaze over the front page when logging in, and the title is similar.
2 - I voted for it to return. Why? Well, for the Wilderness, it's quite simple. The game was designed for it to be this way. For those who complain about dying when doing clue scrolls or whatnot, tough luck, it was designed that way from the get-go.
Now, why do I say tough luck? Because runecrafting in the abyss and clue scrolls were around before the trade limit and the removal of the old PK system, and they were placed in the Wilderness FOR THE SOLE REASON THAT IT IS A DANGEROUS PLACE.
If there is no risk, it becomes too easy, and the price of clue scroll rewards goes screwy, and so do things like runes.
In fact, when the wilderness PK system was removed, the economy got screwy, real quick. Even with the GE and limits, it got worse. Somehow, I don't think it was a coincidence...
The fact is that the RS economy was very healthy before those changes made in 07', and still today, over three years later the effects are still being felt in the economy. Any updates since have only been temporary fixes at best, and only a few markets remained good means to make money.
At least now we will not lose money when we do something like cook a lobster... no more skilling just for the sake of levels... we can finally make money when producing stuff again.
