I am sure not looking forward to the return of the old wilderness as I have never pked, however, I also know a lot of people enjoyed this aspect of the game most (and no, I don't think about those that went out to kill anyone weaker than them, but those 'mature' pkers someone referred to in another thread - those that would fight for the thrill of the hunt, the possible danger of losing all you had on you, the ones that fought with equal equipment to determine who had the better skill in handling what was available to them ...).
And quite honestly, I enjoyed the fact that there was a market for the goods I produced as a skiller, the time when the finished article was actually worth more than the material to make it.
However, I am more concerned with the implications of other game play ... penguins, clues, runite rocks, abyss rcing, rift entrances, use of forinthry bracelets, assist system (why should I allow someone to use my skill level to make high level armour if I could equally make the item myself and sell it to them?), community building and friendship to name but a few (whom can you trust when 'friendliness' could be a cloak for someone trying to lure you?).
And as much as I am looking forward to free trading to help my friends achieve their goals (like equipping a friend with correct armour etc to finally beat Nomad), I am not looking forward to the botting and scamming and the nastiness of some people.
I sure hope Jagex has considered all implications and has put measures in to counter all that. As for me, I would love to see non-pking worlds as we had PvP worlds for those that missed the wilderness that much in the past (yes, wildy should be dangerous, but even if you remove the skillers from the equation ... with 91% of people happy to have the wilderness back there will be enough 'cannon fodder' for any pker without us, and if there isn't, it would be clear proof that not everyone who voted, voted for the return of the wilderness after all!).

Agent--
For RC, which is one of my least favorite skills to train, because it feels so darn slow, I always do the ZMI altar but I do it on lunars. I objected on principal to paying the bankers extortion at the altar. I bring pouches, a mud staff, a bit of armor, my Ardy cape (a bit of a bonus), a supply of laws and astrals, an essence carrying familiar and tele back and forth to moonclan bank. One direction there's a slightly longer walk, but the other way it's less, so it probably works out just as fast
last time i did zmi, over half the runes were worth a quarter of the cost of the esses. another quarter just barely made more then their cost. the remain 20 percent or so didnt make enough to cover their cost. add the cost of making the runes on lunar, and their cost, and it became one more thing you had to buy.
... I think leaving the Revs there would be a suitable punishment for them..
the revs are a joke for armored and armed pkers. no, we need a new one, a rev tank. one that is slow, so it will not hit fast moving skillers (leave that to pkers) but can hit people standing around doing nothing for too long. frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.

I woted NO, because of the scamming and so on...
But I really loved the old wildy, so I couln't decide. But as I said, I woted NO.
Now I realize how fun it will be to have all these things back!
Going in the wildy and kill a player, scam other people (just kidding).
So it was like a mistake of woting NO.

Agent,
"the revs are a joke for armored and armed pkers. no, we need a new one, a rev tank. one that is slow, so it will *** hit fast moving skillers (leave that to pkers) but can hit people standing around doing nothing for too long"
Absolute genius of an idea, love it.

On another point, As there are other ways of RC without using the abyss I hope there is going to be another way of repairing pouches without having to go into the abyss.
Lastly, Now Free trade is coming back, hope there will be a bonus for completing quests, the main bonus before was the trade limit increasing. Although I thought the starting trade limits were very low, I did like the idea of the limit increasing as you worked.
