They don't understand. They never will. I wish they did, but they've been babied for too long. Hopefully the good old days will truly return and they will be turned to the light... But I don't think they will ever fully appreciate what is happening...

Hmm... people still don't get how advantageous the original game was? Let's see what this will do for Runescape:
1) Bots will likely increase- So? They've always been around, and welcome to our old pains. But you know what? We had more fun. If a few people who choose to cheat players or choose to risk their accounts to make some money choose to try and ruin the game, let them- the benefits and fun are overpoweringly more important.
2) Scammers and Lurers! - Yeah, they'll come back since they'll have more purpose. But they taught young players like me back in the day that not everyone is gonna be who they say they are. They taught you to be on your toes and how to keep yourself safe in Runescape. You might've fallen over and scraped a knee here or there, but it made you a better player.
3) No more Upper and Lower Market Values?! - Yup, that's right. No more pampered lifestyle of simply seeing what the price range is limited to. You'll be able to find bargains or occasionally get ripped off- you either learn some or gain some in the end. No biggie. Besides, more player interaction is good for your social health.
Plus, this means the death of many-a-GE Merch Clan. They were the new scourge that caused so many prices to skyrocket. I'll be glad to see them gone.
4) Drop Traders, A hard Wildy experience, and my ability to explore the Wildy safely is ruined!! - Hah, not at all. Some worlds identify themselves as major PK worlds, and others only have a handful- exploring the wild with the threat of PKers actually made it a much more suspensful and interesting trip! Plus, if you score and kill the player, you get what you see- that's what made the Wildy feel so rewarding!
THE MAIN POINT: Yeah a few downs come with the ups. But you know what? Runescape was more /fun/ pre-2007 updates. That's why you took this game up in the first place, isn't it? To have fun? Of course it is! If players still doubt it, then you'll see soon enough. It's coming back, so enjoy what you get!

Ok, look the only people who don't want wildy back is people who either cant pk good,non combat skillers, do clue scrolls, green drag, or dont hav the stats to get kills in wildy. Just hurry up and put it in becoz if u put wildy back in runescape thousands of players will come back and runescape will be more popular then it is today. Honestly if u say OMFG! CLUE SCROLLS! WE CANT DO THEM NOW u needa harden up and learn to play rs.
Thanks

@Santaz:
Check the Referendum. They listed explicitly what would happen.
-The GE will remain, and only a 'suggested price' option will be left. You can buy or sell for any price.
-Coin and Lootshare have been stated to stay, I think. At very least Lootshare will, not quite as sure how Coinshare will work.
-Corp Beast and others are probably subject to being relocated. Though KBD was always in the Old Wildy too, so I can see that staying.

I DO NOT SUPPORT THE ORIGINAL WILDERNESS COMING BACK. Why, Jagex, are you bringing back something you fought so hard to remove? The majority of us would be destroyed if we suddenly got attacked by some rogue clan if we're trying to do something like a quest involving the Wilderness, such as Summer's End. If we're trying to do a clue scroll, and we die in the process, then things like trimmed/gold-trimmed items/gilded armour, Third-Age armour, and other prizes exclusive to hard treasure trails would skyrocket in price and then become rares. So to all of you people who say that the people who don't support this are just bad at player-killing, consider this: we mostly go alone and that we are usually focused on other things.
As for free trade, I'm all for it. Bring it on! But then scammers would be back. Jagex, I would expect you to do something about it.

Dear Jagex Mod Osborne,
You my friend are legen (wait for it)..... dary. Now all jokes aside this is a very serious issue that i have been personally campaigning for, for a very long time. Ever since the old wilderness has been abolished and the EP introduced you have lost me and many of my fellow runescapers, because of it. I have made forum threads, and tried to convince many people and this is the first time this issue is finally being addressed.
The problem with the current wilderness is that you don't get the original possessed items of the player you kill, it also takes at least 2+ hours to get EP up for one kill, and then it goes down significantly, and like i said before you get like 1 rune item. The current PVP is so hard to get kills in because players run to the bank like Al the Camel in search of water on a hot Summer's day.
The current trade limit i can understand the reason of changing, unlike the wilderness, but even the trade limit for friends is still to low unless your a level 3. The people who get scammed get scammed once and they learn a valuable lesson, furthermore i think runescape is combatting the problem with recurring messages about item and ******** scamming.
So thank you for bringing up this topic and as i can see it is in overwhelming support for bringing back the wildy and free trade, and as for the haters, you know where you can go. Peace out, kamkorder1.

Okay, let me clear this up for EVERYONE
I have done my research on this poll/return of the prime times of RS
Okay so common Q's And A's
Q: What will become of the G.E.
A: The Grand Exchange will stay with the price limits removed.
Q: What will happen with KBD?
A: KBD was in the wild ever since RS came out so they will not relocate him because it is where it always has been.
Q: What will happen with the Revants?
A: Jagex has announced that the revants will be re-located but to where? I can not answer.
Q: Will Jagex TRULY bring back the REAL wild?
A: I think no, i think knowing Jagex and how long i have played this game for, they will not bring it back the way it was, because knowing them, something they Fought so hard against they would not simply just revert it back into the game, i think that they will bring it back with something else. Kind of what they did with B.H. But with the same mechanics as before like you get what they have drops.
Q: What about the 07 Gold farmers?
A: I do not yet know if Jagex is buffing up their security, but by a very good estimate i think they have been planning this return for a while so have slowly been testing new Banning techniques, while they have been thinking about the wild and free trade*****;- Is so because i think they realized how much the Wild meant to the R.S. Community, because they lost SO many players after the Wildy removal, and by my guess (Again sorry use my guesses alot :P ) they think and KNOW that alot of players will return with Wild again, which in turn means more money for Jagex!
To sum all this ^ up i think Yes jagex has planned this for a while and YES they will bring it back but with some weird twist because there is no way they would bring back the LEGIT wildy :P
