@The Alien 1
You can't just bring back one or the other. 'No free trade' is useless if the wild is reverted to before free trade was removed.
The wildy was changed BECAUSE free trade was removed, so people couldn't just trade large amounts by PKing the other person. Woulda made 'no free trade' a little pointless. So that's why we have the crappy EP system.
There's also absolutely nothing wrong with free trade. It just allows the general public to regain control over prices, instead of stupid merchanting clans like smokin' mills.

@jaako, mate you have no clue what your talking about. Pures take more skill then main pking, you have to know your limits, know when to eat, know what u can take before getting owned. You have no defence remember so your in more danger all the time of being smashed a max hit.
Because of this pures bring mor ethen just a dds, many use claws or ags's that way they have more chance of winning with a massive hit. Alot of people make pures to pk on just for the thrill of it and because they love pking.

my thoughts on this? well i welcome it with open arms, at the end of the day i started this game 9 and half years ago now and i was crushed when the pking evaporated, look what happened, now people have so much money they dont know what to do with it i read a few pages of this and i see "i want it"
"i loathe it" "no multiple options" ect ect thing is if you read what it says it qualms most of the issues brought up here, like the rwt and bots and whatnot, it will happen, infact it still does as far as botting goes, but back in the day there was nothing like going into the wilderness and pitting your characters power and items to the ultimate test, vs another player with everything you hold on the line, the adrenaline rush from it gives the game a new dimension, unlike with your gwd's and your bosses you know if you die theres still a chance your gonna get it back, but this is a game and i think pking needs to be brought back just for the diversity of the activity, if you get lured into the wild, you learn from it, i did after the...12th time? aha and if you walknig round the wild in 40m+ worth of gears and expect to not have people try pk you then you really do have more money than sense.

as for the free trade i have mixed thoughts on this one, and rwt and bots aside just befor the switch in 2007 i was personally lifted of somewhere near 70m worth of equips and such. now all that happened if you hacked or such is the player doesnt get your items they just drop them, now i had a good group of friends willing to help me set back up to begin my journey anew as such but with the restrictions added in i just lost the will to play for some while, thought saying that right now people only hack and drop as pure hatred towards another, but open trade will probably bring back about those who wish to pilfer hard workers items.
But i personally trust jagex in this i believe with current technologies there has never been a better time to reintroduce these

I think that the old wild and ways of free trade are the only ways that runescape is fun, since they have been removed i get on maybe once a month. Sure you've got scammers and botters to worry about, but if your not doing it, it shouldn't concern you. We've all been scammed, a time or 2, ( me more than i can count ), but all that does is make you a more aware player, if you remember the rune to iron scim scam, it didn't take a week before everyone knew to avoid it, and to start to inspect the scim before purchase, so really we all might have lost 30K but we it made us inspect our trades good before we completed them.
And who doesn't miss the old wilderness? I think everyone does at leaste a little, when Jagex removed it and gave us Bounty Hunter as a replacement, I couldn't have been more disappointed. All that BH did was create an ideal PKing area for clans to prey on people out there actually trying to PK. Now we have the new style BH Worlds, and if you ask me they are just as garbage as the original BH. Lets say you find someone with full Saradomin out in lvl 40 wildy, and you kill him, your drop will be effected by your ep%, you might go through all the trouble of killing him just to find that your ep is only 22%, what a waste of time.
Anyways I guess the point I'm trying to make, is that.... the best years of runescape (for me) was when i use to get lured into the wildy and would loose my armor, and i had to merchant to get the cash to then, stand around and wait for someone to be selling, instead of just running to the G.E. and putting my request in there.
