Hey everyone,
I played Runescape during 2005-2006 very often. In 2007 now and then I logged in and went pking because that was what I liked most.
After the 2007 update I was pretty shocked. I mean, Jagex doesn't like people getting scammed and realworldtrading etc, but neither do I. The old wilderness was for me and many other people what RS was all about. You train your skills and then in The Wildy you see the results of all your hard work. The excitement of walking into the wildy back then must be hard to understand for people that started playing RS after 2007.
There are 2 things that I really don't understand:
1) Why is scamming such a big deal? Did I ever get scammed? Yes, ofcourse. But you learn from that and that won't happen twice. I was a level 10 back then and I didn't have any money anyway.
People! This happens in real life! I'm really shocked that Jagex is behaving like a babysitter. We can't protect everyone! Like the Dutch government says lol: People have own responsibility.
2) Why are people complaining about activities in the wilderness like clue scrolls, quests, mage arena etc?
The wilderness is considered to be a dangerous place, so the beautiful thing is that, when you don't die, you feel pretty good. The Wildy has been like that for many years, so why was there a need for a change?
Back in 2005-2006 there wasn't even a wilderness wall. You could just walk straight into the wildy without getting a warning.
Jagex has inproved so many things to help new people.
-------------------------------------------------
About the free trade I actually don't care as much as about the wildy. I just found out all great things about the GE and I really like it. You don't ahve to spend days in world 1&2 to buy the things you need.
However, I really don't like the trade limits.
Runescape is like communism these days and Jagex like the Kremlin (don't ban me (right of free speech(if that still exists lol))
I hope we're going back to the good old times again

Well done Ducos Pure. Everything that's been in my head has all be typed up for me. What he says is honestly true. Also the fact that some of the players that played after the update and never experienced the old rs wouldn't want a changed as they would have to adapt to the new way. But honestly that's how Runescape was and it should stay that way.

@ducos pure
i agree but dont get excited because people are agreeing with u lol about 1000 people me included have already said pretty much the exact same in different words. i come back on hoping to find someone writing different stuff rather than just re typing the other 1000 comments in slightly different words.

ducas pure I also started playing in 2007. One of my Slayer assignments was to kill green dragons. Where else but the wilderness could I go as a new player other than the wilderness. I was killed more than once. Is that fair to me. You may like to take from innocent people, but I do not. Another thing that bothers me about this vote is how many false accounts have been made just to vote yes.

wait wait wait..... i just realised something y would ppl want old wildy if there is pvp and bounty hunter? and how come there cant be something like if u were friends with some 1 for a certain amount of time then free trade goes away so ppl can give stuff to there friends i think this is a really good suggestion (possibly repeated)

ok guys this might seem like a dumb idea but what about...the way it was post update before it was all taken out:
-the wilderness is back and dangerous.
-trade windows show the market price of an item at the ge but if you trade then it will not stop you. for example trading willow logs for a rune axe would register u stand to gain money but would still be able to trade.(bad example but only thing i ever remeber doing is getting a rune axe for some maple logs)

All i can say is L2READ, ffs jagex already mentioned they will keep GE so no worries about sitting in varock big bank and buying needed supplies, and for the person who posted before me, you getting hacked? you keep in mind that its your own fault? jagex isnt the babysit who will not let you to go to somekidna strange webs where you can get keyloggs and all other sht like that, so its ur own fault, cant stop going to sht webs then quit rs!
