Time to answer a few of everyones questions and comments...

Q: Why bring back wild and trade? everybody is already used to the new system.
A: Wrong. 1 million people from all over the world have come back to vote their favorite pastime activity (rs encouraged the use of facebook myspace twitter ect... to spread the news)

Q: Bringing back old wildy is going to make clue scrolls and questing so hard
A: what stopped you before? and whats a quest without a little bit of excitment of being chased by a sword bigger than you are.
Q: Bringing back old wildy will encourage scamming and luering
A: If you are stupid enough to believe someone in lvl 40 wildy wants to buy a rune scimmy or 50k death runes then you certainley deserve to die and lose everything you have.
If anyone else has a question feel free to ask me, I'll answer just about anything you are having concern with. THANKS ALL =D

They can't just rid rs of botters, not possible, because however they say it most bots use Java script and there own clients, which jagex can't tell because rs is coded with Java, and they can't stop clients because of things like SK.
Back in the day, botters where easy to stop because then they just used mouse recorders and lame scripts written by the people themselves, now they have A++ certified people working on scripts, Jagex is just throwing in the towel and giving up with this, and i believe are just going to focus more on there new game coming out, Stellar Dawn.

^-^ i would not make pvp out in the wild because people do kill green dragons for slayer task and it would get annoying if someone attacked you out there why you where doing your task and the trade limit i like it but they should make it where you can trade a little more because 20k ant that much i would put it where you could trade like 100k-130k trade limit that way people have a bigger trade limit and you please both people that wont bigger trade but it still has a limit :) but like pvp in the wild they should have a certen world for it that way people can do slayer like i said but hey im just one guy so yeah i dont think ill make that much of a difference but any ways have fun playing runescape and good luck :) ^-^ ^-^ :D

wow, i dont see why some of u guys says this is fake?
i dont think Jagex would "break our hearts" in this way, they've asked for our opinions and then they are going to do as the majority want, though they removed it but they say on the update that they will never get rid of botting and scamming as it is our own opinion to do so, but they will also build a new bot-detect system if i read it right.
i myself voted for the old wildy and trade, as im a old school player and miss the days when everyone was in danger in the wilderness, if ur doing clue scrolls, just make sure u got plenty of brews and pray pots in ur inv and im pretty sure u wont die :) Thanks.

This "Poll" is really useless.
I bet they're even going to count every inactive player as a "no" vote.
Nonetheless, I don't think half the active players are even aware of this or are willing to vote. So again, doomed to fail.
I would love for a staff to tell me otherwise though. I'm looking back to playing this game, and I know many many people that also are, given that they actually do roll back to the good days.
I mean, Jagex has a legitimate reason to do this because it will most likely increase their revenue, but it doesn't seem like they're that smart.

That is my point. "Street Value." Street value in itself sets up the ability for outrageous prices. Again allowing there to be an elite class. I think The trade is good where its at. There is no sure fire way to eliminate bots and cheaters, and i do want that to be combated. however if u want to pk, there are pk worlds, and the GE plays a pivital role in economic equality. all street value does, in my opinion, is allow a player sell something worth "60mil" at 75mil. i agree with supply and demand... but the GE has that covered.

Well, I expressed my feelings about the fairness of the Poll in an earlier post but Mod Mark H. has made a comment that they have "restrictions in place to prevent" (ppl from voting over and over?)14-15-842-62044934
However,
My take on this:
1)Let's just say that you track IPs (and there are easy ways around that)and make sure that way that people just vote ones (and all the other ones from that IP do not count) - you could at least explain how the voting works so people have a better understanding of it...
2)Some Mods postet before that this was done (in this manner) because you wanted to make it open to everyone - shouldn't it mainly be for players though? And you had polls before for member and non-member. And who cares what people think that don't even play RS or care enough to open at least a non-member account to vote.
3) Most important, I ask, how can people vote for something without getting ALL of the information? Sure, some people want the Wildy and no-limit trading back, but to what cost? What happens to the GE for example? What happens to PvP armour and weapons? They would maybe not vote at all if they knew the consequences - just sipmply "vote yes" doesn't work...
4)If everything was the way it was before (no GE, no armour, no PvP worlds etc, no Revs -and what happens to Rev related quests/ monster drops?) I would be against it! Well I'm pretty much against it no matter what unless I read some good reasons...
I'm not a Fan of the no-limit trading either - it just seems to bring out the greedy and cheaters everywhere (not saying that ALL are like that, sure there are some familys/friends who want to share etc but let's face it, there will be much more cheating)this is not a good solution for the merch-clan problem...
I just really wish that there was a little bit more thought (and explanations to the players) put into this Poll, specially with the big words "that it will change for sure if there are enough people for it"..

If your complaining about getting scammed back in the day due to free trade then that should teach you to read your trade.
its not the systems fault that you cant read so dont hate.
about the activities etc that you can do in the wilderness: clue scrolls, corp**** etc
make a cluescroll world where wildy has revs and no pking is allowed in these worlds.
same for sc and stuff.
make about 3-5 corping worlds, yes it will get extremely competetive and crowded and people will moan about crashers 24/7.
just like bandos ... if you dont want to be crashed that bad then go and risk doing it in a world where wildy is active.
you could really put off pkers in wildy active worlds by making corp able to get kills, so if corp hits more than the person who's trying to pk then corp gets the kills insted.
since corp hits alot and people wont be geared for corp when pking this will put off alot of people, but not all of them.
im 110% for this idea, old wilderness made clanning and rs fun.
the risk factor is that something that you cant put your finger on, its the thing that made this game better than warcraft imo.
is staking coming back too?
