I also have kinda mixed feelings. I never got scammed, but i know other players have.
Heres my thought:
Pros:
1.If i lend out and item, i won't have to find junk to be able to get paid
2.Revenants are irritating, more that clans. They come at any level, while PK clans are usually higher, making me safe in low level wildy.
Contras and sollutions:
1. People will get scammed more. Sollution: Maybe add the GE to the tutorial, or at least the GE price in the trade screen. If people can see the real price, they wont get scammed.
2. People getting lured to wildy and killed. Sollution: Maybe add an extra warning message to the wilderness wall, warning extra about people luring you in and killing you.

Also, if wilderness PVP and Free trade are reintroduced, i really hope the PVP and Bounty worlds will stay. At least there you can easily find a worthy opponent.
I voted Yes, but i have to say, i'd rather have just free trade and no wildy PVP, than Free trade and WIldy PVP and no PVP and Bounty worlds.
End of blab*****,

Sigh looks like its going to another round of 'Hard to please,quick to critisize' again,then again you have my vote on both agendas at hand.Scam happen in life be it virtual reality or the reality itself.
One must be alert and learn from mistakes,i have been scammed before but depite it being a bitter pill to swallow at that time,it should be understood even Jagex itself isnt above the botters or scammers just as the same as other MMO companies out there,the best method by far is still suppression and not total removal.
then again as we all know the player base tends to change their mind afterwards,they used to hate the free trade and wilderness being removed,now i see a total opposite effect after 3 years.
factually free trade is great because it prevents price fixing be it a virtual or real economy,Jagex which in this matter is like the government is suppose to prevent price fixing and not allow it to happen,but it seems even with the removal of free trade 3 years ago with the replacement of G.E price fixing still occurs.
As for the wilderness it is utmost welcomed again,as this game has lost its charm point which was wiilderness.
Thats about my views at the moment.
Nonetheless i support the return of both.
EDIT: referring to SpiritDragon,actually the current trade screen displays the real value or G.E value of items so we know players wont get scammed easily anymore,Also the current warning screen entering danger zones are as brief and understandable,its a risk taken if you accepted.

The wilderness is used for so many things nowadays. For me, hunting shooting stars in the wilderness is a lifestyle. That's only one of the many things that go away if the old wilderness were to come back. It will, I know that, because there are so many people out there that don't consider the other side of things. I'm a level 96 combat and I wouldn't survive a level 138 attacking me as I mine with my dragon pickaxe in hand, losing that much money in the process. I thought from the beginning that we had PvP and Bounty Hunter worlds for that reason. There are too many things that are set in stone that will go away. Compromise, fine with me, but don't just completely wipe out the last three years. You compromised last time, do it again. If that's not possible, say so, but you're wrong to say that. I say no.

Why is it i only get to vote no by not voting yes. If my friends and others have voted over 500 times each for yes (which i have heard). What is the fairness in this. A poll is a yes and no vote, not a yes or oh just be quiet then we know u don't want it. Why does this feel like ballets being stuffed in a box and even dead people are voting for it. I want a voice. I want the option to vote 500 or 1000 time that i don't want. You have gagged us and tied our hands. This is my voice now. Why do i feel like i am being discriminated against.
Just because something in the good old days was nice doesn't mean we have to whine about it till it gets forced down our throat. I joined runescape to skill. Others to battle and pvp(get money fast and easy)and their choice. But i feel like the pvp and free trade is being jammed down our throats. I have heard the horror stories about the so called good old days. What is so great about that if u were being scammed and the botters were running rampent like rabbits.
What about clue scrolls or agility courses or the KBD or slayer kills in general. There are pvp worlds already. Which means pvp in wildy too. If u impliment this with us gagged and bound with no ability to stand and be counted then i may want a refund for my membership. This whole thing has become a farce. If we keep wanting things in the past does that mean u should stop making better and better things for runescape in the future??? Please consider others may not know to come to this thread to voice their displeasure. I had to ask friends.

Just another note, change the polling format. There are people using login names from the high scores as the "top people" to vote for, and many people are voting over and over again with random names. At least make us log in first so that it's even close to fair.
EDIT: See above ^

I love how when the wilderness was taken out the pkers didnt even have a voice or a chance to stop it. It was just all taken away and at least the people who dont want it now have a chance to voice their opinions and be heard. I bet if you were to go back to the day that the wilderness was taken out you would find way more rants on the rs forums than there is in the possible re-introductiob of the wilderness. Its because there are more people for it than agaisnt it and we are more passionate about our opinion.

I have never been so upset by proposed changes as I am with this one. I wasn't even this upset when free trade limits and the 'old' wildy was removed from the game.
The way this vote is being conducted is scandalous! LMAO 'Follow this link to register your YES vote' or create a free account (as often as you like), and vote again...?
Real world trading has not been eliminated and botting is like a disease - the two reasons these changes were implemented in 2007.
Now, just because of a few whiners - we change everything again!?
What if... All the accounts that were affected by the change in 2007 are asked to vote (only once)? I wonder what the poll results would be then?
Well my vote is NO - don't change the current system. Make improvements, if needed, to combat RWT and botting. Make improvements to PVP, if warranted.
ROFL - I can't wait to see the result of the poll (that was a feeble attempt at sarcasm.)
Happy Holidays ALL - Snugly Shift. Shift. Shift. I keep hitting the Shift key and I am still haven't moved.
