My post wasn't about stopping this change. What part of HAVING BOTH is so hard to understand?
And concerning longevity or duration, I have friends who have been in RS since Abe Lincoln was a Precinct Captain! Some of whom are p-mods, who will give up membership or RS altogether if no alternative to Blood and Guts is offered.
@Vince. Where is the insult? Because I opined that it is ego based? Simply meaning You VS. Them. Some don't want to play that way.

I've played since 2003 and had the best of both worlds however it is a fact the game has gone down hill since 2007 because it is too easy.
Trade limit has killed merchanting which was an immensely fun part of the game. Being able to wonder around for hours trying to buy or sell certain items gave the game a buzz, especially if you got an exceptionally good deal. The introduction of the GE was good but it has made every player lazy, no one has to interact and i met some pretty decent people through merchanting. For all those complaining about being scammed or losing out, it was because you were lazy; if you searched up prices of the item you were looking for and were persistant you wouldn't have been caught on the wrong side of the deal, however that comes with experience which once again was the fun part of RS.
As for the wilderness it was immense, the thrill and the electricity walking in and getting attacked doesn't match any other game. Once again limiting PKing to minigames doesn't work, it gives it more of an artifical feel than being able to wander in the wildy in any world and possibly having that lucky kill that you will gain massively from.
I don't think im doing free trade and wildy justice but the game was so much more fun due to the freedom back in the old days. People interacted more through trading and wildy then they do now. If i had my way i'd get rid of the GE aswell because it kills player interaction in the trading area and takes out a large part of the game; merchanting.

Dynan,
I have NEVER heard of a referendum that was so one sided where the losers then got to force compromises on the overwhelming majority.
I see your compromise but don't understand (much like you don't understand a referendum and your position in it!) why you think that you have ANY right to attempt to make compromises? Winners shape the outcome, the voting system (first past the post) is not always the fairest, but in this instance it is completely decisive and over 1 million players have voted for the change.
You're very narrow minded "Blood and Guts", seriously I don't PK (I did it for a while in 2005 but I wasn't fond), however I can see past the narrow minded foolery in this thread at times to realise the impact of such an update would benefit skillers and pkers alike, disadvantaging only those who don't like to work for their prize.
Sounds good to me!

i really do not understand y 8% voted no! these people are oviously too lazy, igronent or both just to go and meet people to buy items and exchange experiences... that to me was the best part of rs before the update. also even if u do get scammed, u will learn for the next time and if it happens to u more than once u basicly are an idiot...

okay, so the pvp (bh worlds) is different to pvp worlds back than? no, exept the drops.
--
A: Entirely different, the whole mechanics around it and the risk vs reward factor. You're naive to make such an ignorant statement.
--
old wildy u keep 3 items unless skulled, and u get their drop. so what happens if they drop a cls, or cr?...
--
A: I'd answer this but cls and cr are abbreviations of which I'm not familiar. You get anything that is tradable from a kill when the player is skulled. They keep the three highest valued items (shop price) on death.
--
every since they brought out the vote, there has been all these people "claming" they were from back them, MOST of them are just making up a whole lot of cht, they know nothing!!!
--
A: Coming from you who made the first statement above? I mean really... Giant assumption on this statement is again naive, ignorant and even foolish.
