the game has been popular for the last 3 years, without it.
what we are "afrad" of, is the insult will be too much and many of the skillers will quit because of all the bots, and because of the attitude of the pkers will be back forced upon the majority.
in the end, jagex will be forced to sell gps and items like fish for real money because there will not be enough skillers left to supply the demands of the pkers.

...selling sharks 500 gp each lol...
just before the updates, the price of sharks fell to 500 gp due to the massive amounts of bots fishing them.
...The endless "threats" of quitting members are tiresome....
you think a week of "endless threats of quiting" are tiresome, try listening to it for three years as pkers threaten to quit if jagex didnt bring back pking.
yes, thats what i said, pkers remained and continually threaten to quit. yes a few did, but if jagex tells skillers they arent as important as the small minority that quit, you will see a lot of people quiting.
ive already looked into other games and ive heard a lot of skillers talking about other games they will go to. frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.

i would like to atleast see the wilderness go bac to the way it was. i have stopped my playing by 90% because of the ay it has changed and for people like rangers waste more money than they make while player killing now in wilderness.
free trade should go back to the way it was but should give you a window that shows how much your loosing and gaining in the trade.
ps. the old way of runescape was a lot more fun honestly, but i love the new graphics.

First I wanna say that this is the most undemocratic thing i've ever seen. The most f2p players or undeveloped players don't even check out the forums, and they have an opinion aswell. And even if f2p players check out the forums, they can't even give there opinion...
The point is that there are many members and high lvled players who see the advantages of free trade and wilderness: they can make themselves rich over the back of others. The noobs, who don't play as long as the higher lvls, will get cheated and there money will go to the bankaccounts of people who spent hours to try and steal other peoples money.
I remember the times when I started to play; I had my first account when there was a wildy. I walked in for some quest or to do some mining because a friend of mine told me it was good xp, and I got killed by some high lvl dude who thought it was funny to kill some low lvled noob without armor and lost all of my stuff. Of course, it wouldn't happen to me again now, but it's sad that every new player will have to experience these things themselves before they decide never to go to the wildy again.
I never liked pking or doing any combat at all; and i'm fine with the way it is now. People who like to kill others: fine, go to pvp worlds, and then seek people who want to get killed and kill others themselves. Don't force people who don't even *ant to do combat to watch there back.
What I hate the most is that not all of the wilderness activities will be replaced...I really hope SC will be remained.

How does you jagex know if people are creating multiple accounts or already have multiple accounts are voting for yes ?
Has been doing well ever since they gotten real trade out of the game, and brought and renewed content thats the reason why they gotten the golden stick rewards twice a row
good thing about limit trade cap and grand exchange: easier to reach a ceraint time instead of wasting hours of searching for it shouting out buying 40 combat pots etc
jagex please do not bring wilderness back and free trade

agent b-..selling sharks 500 gp each lol...
just before the updates, the price of sharks fell to 500 gp due to the massive amounts of bots fishing them.

lol??? the only time i saw "selling sharks 500 gp each" was
after jagex took the wildy off. who needs sharks if you cant pk?... when the wildy comes back prices will not go down... on the contrary, the demand for pking items and food will go up, therefore the prices will go up. DUH.

agent b- "what you are goingto find, is the game is going to be filled with pkers, and bots whose membership is paid for with stolen credit cards."
you talk about stolen credit cards like if it was a simple task to do or a common problem regarding runescape... who steals credit cards to make runescape members? LOL. that has never even crossed my mind until u mentioned it. I *now for sure if i ever stole a credit card(which i wouldn't because i have no need} runescape membership wouldn't even cross my mind. who in the right mind steals credit cards to pay for membership lol... i would much rather buy a freekin 50 inch tv or another ps3/*box 360... you get the idea... expencive worthy stuff... hahahahhahaha i cant stop laughing at the idea of stealing credit cards to pay for memberships, its as pathetic as it is ridiculous.

@agent b
what is up with you and other people even bringing up BOTS, the wildy and free trade have nothing to do with bots, are you saying that by bringing the wildy back, jagex's security will MAGICALLY disappear? making it defenseless against bots???
jagex didn't even take the wildy away because of the bots, i dont know why so many ignorant people believe that. the reason it was removed was because of REAL WORLD TRADING.
THEY SAID IT THEMSELVES !!!
people are confusing the wildy with bot related problems, those are two VERY DIFFERENT things, the wildy has absolutely no relation with bots.
as for the free trade, that does have some relation with bots, but this does not mean jagex will stop combating them. Don't think that jagex solved the BOT problems by removing the free trade lol... i **e bots every time im skilling.

another ignorant kid... wow.
jagex is keeping the grand exchange, so you don't have to be "Shouting". try to inform yourself before posting.

"only 62k pkers and merchants quit over this, but there is goig to be a lot more skillers doing the same if jagex decides to turn skillers in to pker food. "
Most people who train skills also train combat and enjoy that aspect. Food has always been particularly high priced in pking areas, back in the day you could charge 1500 gp per cooked shark and the pkers nearby would pay for it because they don't want to go get it themselves. Even now, if they pk beyond edgevile, many would prefer to just buy their food and items at inflated prices. Skillers have always taken advantage of this, and will again. The thing about free trade is, if you want something right NOW, you can and usually will pay more for it. So the "lot more skillers" won't quit, they will just adapt and sell inflated around the wilderness border as they always have.
