We all can tell that this is an attempt to correct the mistakes of the past decade in preparation for the next. As someone who has been on RS almost as long as it's been around, I feel I need to explain a few things before I cast my vote. My brothers introduced me to Runescape in the Summer of 2002; the first MMO I had ever seen. I chose my look, my username, and the profession I wanted to pursue; fishing. I continued to play until the Winter, and after obtaining a then free Santa hat, I quit playing until the beta test. After that I casual dropped by, but I never continuously played until the spring of 2006. Things were getting more complex, and I was enjoying it even more. I was not a PKer, never enjoyed it. I remember the day the wilderness was removed, I was...unemotional; it didn't effect me. Then the trade laws; being someone who had lost 2 Santa hats to hackers, I was a wee bit happy. With the new trade laws in effect, and the Grand Exchange, I was making a healthy profit as a fisherman. Now we are here deciding whether or not to restore the Wilderness and remove the Trade Laws. It is with great motivation, and my love of this this game that I cast my vote...
YES, RESTORE THE WILDERNESS AND REMOVE THE TRADE LAWS
It may seem strange that I would vote for something that would be detrimental to me, but Runescape is about more than that. We play MMO's to escape our daily confines, it seems foolish to impose such limits in our haven. I want the Wilderness restored and the Trade Laws removed, because it adds more to Runescape; it makes the game better. We're not hear to learn lessons in Socialist Economics, we are here to have fun! Heavy restrictions and removing something many players held dear is not the best course of action. Jagex, you, just like your players must take the good with the bad. If a good game means hackers and gold farmers, then I suppose we'll have to deal. That being said, I ask you, Please remove the Trade Laws, and Restore the Wilderness
