I've been playing runescape since 2004, I basically grew up with wilderness and free-trade, I was quite heart-broken when wildy, and free-trade were revoked. I was still playing, but not as much as I once used to.
Now, I am glad to see that Jagex is making a move that satisfies well over 900,000+ members. It only dissatisfies about ~20,000(?). I say, haters speak the loudest.
About scamming, back during the 2004 era, there was no mechanic that obviously pointed out that an item was switched.
But, today when you trade it ALWAYS warns you that an item has been removed. So scamming isn't any serious problem. Since it would be YOUR fault for ignoring the blatantly obvious warnings during trade. Jagex, is very smart for doing that, and only asks that everyone PAYS attention when they are in trade, also to not smash the accept button 200 times. All they want is some form of intelligence.
Wilderness, is no big problem, the only complaint would be it colliding with things such as quests, and treasure trails. That certainly won't make any form of problem because Jagex has stated that any significant thing that wasn't meant to be in a PvP area would be relocated.
However, certain things that are SUPPOSED to be in the dangerous PvP area WILL stay there as it was in the past. (Rune Rocks, Green Dragons, etc...)
I for one am glad that the revenants will be GONE from the wilderness. Honestly, they served no purpose, and only dropped useless things. I suppose revenants were npc's that were trying to behave like a PvP player, but that didn't quite work out.
All in all, there really isn't a STRONG argument to oppose free trade and wilderness.
I don't think anyone will read this, but it needs to be said nonetheless.
