I feel that free trade should be allowed, but it should still show the worth at the bottom of the trade. That way everyone's happy, people can trade things for help and people that are new to the game will still know how much their item is worth. This would get rid of older players tricking others into trading items that are worth a lot of gold. And for the wilderness, I think there should be specific worlds that offer the wilderness but others that still have it inactive, this would get rid of stronger players taking others into the wilderness to kill them.

Put it this way, you done a great job with the Grand Exchange, and by bring back free trade you will be taking out what i think is one of the best features of this game because it stops people scamming others out of mass amounts of gold pieces. By all means bring back the old Wilderness but free trade is a no..
on the other hand free trade allows people to give their friends expensive items, but it also allows them to give items and other stuff to there secondary accounts if they have one meaning they can swap and change at any time.
1 more reason is hackers. If they hack your account you can loose absolut** everything..
My vote is: Free Trade_ NO
Old Wilderness_ Yes
Thankyou for listening_

Also to those people QQing about being scammed, it was once part of this game, it always will be apart of any game.
When trade restrictions were implemented people came up with merching clans, another form of scamming, it will always be around guys. No matter what.
Avoid it best you can, just be careful and stop crying about it.

1. You get scammed its out of the question - its your fault
2. you wanna trade wealth to one of your secondary accounts its your money you earned it so be it.
3. you get hacked and lose all your wealth again it's your fault you should have been changing your ******** every now and again stay off sites that you think might be risky for your personal information. also recovery questions should be kept in safe place and bank pin then you would never lose your items there is so much you can do to prevent all of this if your stupid or to young to play the game thats when you get scammed

Reokkedude, the Grand Exchange is still going to be around. However, I miss free trade, and trade worlds. That brought a really good feeling to this game seeing cities spammed with players selling things.
If you're worried about hackers, than you don't know too much about computers, or you're a young player. My best advice to thwart hackers, is to read Jagex's advice in keeping a secure account. However, I will offer my own personal advice to it as well, which is remarkably the same as what Jagex offers.
First of all, don't give your ******** to friends, no matter what their excuse is. They don't need it, it's not their account to play on. I don't care if they're your class mate, your your best-friend. They will more than likely hack you if their is something to gain off of it. The same goes with your siblings.
Secondly, don't download third-party software for the game. If Jagex doesn't offer it, you don't need it. Not all software contains malware, but why take the risk?
Make your pass hard to guess, and use a combination of numbers and letters. I don't think Jagex will let you use symbols, but that will certainly help. Don't use your birthday, don't use your dog's name, don't use your name. The more random it is to you, the harder it is for anyone to just "guess" it. Jagex also prevents you from saying your pass in the game, preventing you from being scammed out of it.
In conclusion, if you're worried about being hacked, you're doing something that you shouldn't be doing in the first place, and thus breaking the TOS you agreed to when you first signed up.
I can also recommend to you some great anti-virus software.

I see many people argue that bringing the Old Wilderness back would pose problems of scamming people into teaming with them and the 'Teammate' PK's the person who's been scammed. I have been on the side that has been scammed into this several times. But that comes with the game. You have to develop your own sense of judgement and trust. I've lost tons of good things in the Wilderness but thats what makes it fun, its all about the risk.
Free trade is more than welcome in my eyes as well, yes there are possibilites of trade scamming and people buying gold, but it is also true that people will always find a way to do that. Heres an example of a good use of it though. My cousin and I used to go to the Gnome Stronghold and continuously play for days. We would pick flax, spin it, cut yews, fletch them, string them, and High Alch them. Then we would split the money 50/50. All done using free trade, and not for a negative purpose.
Bring it back Jagex =]
