Well I think it should return, and I have many reasons why which hopefully you will all agree with.
Why Free Trade Should/Shouldn't return:
1) Free trade was the original way of trading in Runescape, it was the heart and one of the main things within Runescape which was most important to it's players.
2)There will be many people scamming Real world item trading (which is Against The Rules). But I am sure "Jagex" the developers / owners of Runescape are able to shut down them websites due to legal consent?
3)There will be many people scamming which will be taking place to all the newbies (new players) of Runescape. Ok, it's a bit obvious that first NO ONE WILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING that isn't worth its price. Want to buy something without getting scammed well here's your answers fans of Runescape and all it's players, You have the GRAND EXCHANGE the beautiful most biggest trading centre and only trading centre in the hole of Runescape. Also if you know that in real life you wouldn't buy something for so much then why do it in Runescape?
4) Most famously the Botters of Runescape (Botting is against Rules Of Runescape and will result in a Instant ban). There will be a load of Botters which will mostly be owned by the companies who provide Real world trade (against rules). Jagex (the owners of Runescape / Developers)CEO (chief executive officer) say's, we will be able to handle all botters which are taken place when the free trade and Runescape returns, so players / members of Runescape relay, trust Jagex (owners of Runescape) that they will be able to solve the huge issue of Runescape.
5) Most members of Runescape have more then one account,either they are maxed out ( fully trained account) which they would like to create a new account and transfer something over from the maxed account to the new account or the other way arround.
These are my reasons for free trade and old wilderness returning supporting both sides of the case but my vote was for THE RETURN OF IT.

...pking was the main thing back then..
for a tiny percentage it was, but for the majority is wasnt.
...and transfer something over from the maxed account to the new account or the other way arround....
so you say they should do this so poeple can break the rules?

...You seem to be forgetting that 100,000's of people quit because of this update, ...
first off, it wasnt 100,000's, it was 62k.
secondly, im not forgetting, but should jagex really do something to bring back 62k if its going to cost them 620k? pkers and merchants barely made up 10 percent of the population and what they are talking about doing is insulting to skillers. many will quit. if the same percentage quit, jagex will lose 10 times the revenue they will gain. frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.

Well I think it should return, and I have many reasons why which hopefully you will all agree with.
Why Old Wilderness should Return:
1) Old wilderness is the original Runescape state.
2) It's the heart of Runescape where players can enjoy battling each other and be able to take the defeated items as a self reward.
3) Without the old wilderness the players CANNOT fight for each others items instead they have to be risking above 76k (76000 coins or item worth value) to be able to get their "EP" % up. Also that takes long enough as it is because "EP" even with risking takes about 45 minutes to get to 100% which then is drained down to 25% when you manage to kill someone and take their stuff.
4) The loot you manage to receive through the kill will NOT be over 1 million gp (gp = gold pieces = coins)which kinds is low for the Members of Runescape since they expect to receive a lot more.
5) The reverners of Runescape will not be around any more which means they cannot disrupt any players who are fighting in the wilderness or are trying to get to the Mage training area or who trying to get to the Agility training arena.
6) When the members of Ruenscape are bored they are always able to just visit the Wilderness (old wilderness) fight someone get some loot and where all happy :D well apart from the defeated one since they loose their equipment :P But I guess you shouldn't really enter the wilderness if they don't want to loose anything.
7) Jagex (the creators / developers / owners of Runescape) have created a HUGE "DITCH" which there is no way you can be tricked into entering the wilderness because you have to choose to jump the ditch and even then a "WARNING SIGN" appears to you telling you what will happen if you cross the ditch.
8) All mini games will be re located out of wilderness
Well as you can see their is really no down side to the old wilderness returning so why shouldn't it be returned? I have tried to list down most of my points,I HAVE VOTED FOR RETURN

I started runescape around 2005 and was in love with it until wildy got updated and the trade limit was created... i tried to deal with it but after a few weeks i just stopped playing, now if it comes back i might actually buy a membership again.
-Wilderness explains itself, it is called that because you are on ur own and u are risking everything that you brought with you, so players should not be complaining about losing stuff or it being unfair.
-Free trade should come back because, honestly its ur own fault if u get scammed, it makes u confirm twice so people just need to learn to review the trade before accepting.
-People also like giving gifts during holidays and its very hard to do that with a trade limit.
-The only reason i could see it not coming back is because of real life trade, and i think that jagex should be able to partner up with paypal to find anyone trying to sell GP. Any one cought buying or selling, should be automatically banned, for life.

if someone owns a main account and a pure its their choice to give their pure cash or weps.. its theirs
no, it isnt. its against the rules concerning interaction of two accounts you use.
..paypal to find anyone trying to sell GP..
they dont do it though pay pal most of the time, they do it with credit cards. there is no link between people buying and the transfer of gps. frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.

I’ve (I’d) played since 2003 and when the wilderness was taken away, so was my interest.
I went from having four paying accounts to sometimes (and more usual) non.
Even though this account is currently a paid member… I very rarely log in. I can go (and have gone) months without even thinking about Runescape. I have gone more than a year without logging in.
Since leaving RS (I consider myself left) I’ve tried to fill that empty void, but everything I have tried has been lacking that “special something“ the wilderness provided.
Replacing the wilderness “and all” might be too late for me. It took me a while to build up the friendships I had… Loyal friendships, that drifted apart in one night.
I’ll add this thought for those worried about “clue scrolls” etc… Although in all my time I never had anything worth living to keep. A watchful eye, being ready to log, and a quiet world are the answer.
I’ll add this confession (not really caring).
I used to drop trade from my main account and my skiller account to my (own) Pk accounts… I hope something along these lines will be taken into consideration. Because without that ability, everything would be pointless*

...being ready to log, and a quiet world are the answer...
how does this help stop people jumping in while your fighting the zammy monk and pking you before you can even blink? that was the standard tactic of pkers hunting treasure trail spots. they would stand in the same spot as the hunter had to be, and world hop to as many as 30 worlds. unless you have the cursor on the spot you are at (instead of the monk your fighting, or the shovel your digging with), you arent going to see him until he has hit you. there is no logging out.
.. Because without that ability, everything would be pointless..
translation: "unless we are allowed to take advantage of this to break the rules to give up unfair advantages over other, newer players, its not fair to us."
this is why most of the people voting for it are doing so, so they can break the rules again and get unfair advantages. frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.

Rapidly Quit

I have been waiting long for the jagex staff to realise how stupid ...
ok stupid, learn the reality. it was stupid to save the game. they may have found a way to stop the bots now, but back then, this was the only way that didnt cost them 90 percent of their players.

...Did you ever stop and think that most pkers only logged on to pk ...
did you ever stop to think that most skillers dont want to waste their time on polls about pking? the reason polls work is that it is REPRESENTATIVE of the whole population. they dont need everyone to do the poll because the same percentage that ignores it from one side is the same as the other side.

Agent,
You can not just assume everybody who is in favor of this update has 8 accounts and votes on all of them. I basically am only interested in Pking, i have 1 account.
never said they did. in fact i said they average 3 or 4, which means that more only have 1 as have 8.
the thing is, rwters are also voting with their 100's of thousands bots. frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.
