People who played in 07-09 should really not talk and say garbage about what runescape wants to let us become. all you do is complain about how hard it will be to do this and that... guess what in 06 05 04 03 02 01.. people did it that way you would run into the wild to do your clues to do everything and it was so much fun. people will adapt stop crying about it.... i know it can be bad for you.. and all this but think about it soo many players quit because pvp was the only thing they came to runescape to do thats what i lived for i lived for pvp thats it nothing else mattered. now in day u risk 4m in bh.. and u gain what 400k loot... really? come on if you think that is better than old wild your a complete idiot.. old wild you could fight fair and you would pk for fun... major profits would be gained. like if you pked a guy with full rune and a whip and idk a dfs... if he was skulled you would gain all of that.. it only makes sense you kill and pickup deads guys loot. we all know this will bring back scamming and bring back hacking etc... but its your choice if you get hacked or scammed stop complaining. if someone tells you " hey wanna go into the wild and do this and that.." say no and walk away is it that hard? if your trading someone make shure everything is correct on the trading screen on the second trading mirror. besides what is the mini game for the colorful boots for anyways? for security measures all of us are aware of scamming and hacking so its no excuse. face it. you will have to adapt. so stop crying and saying no... no... just go back to fletching or what ever you do.. you obviously never pked or tried to and got owned. let the pking family be happy and pk all we want we never messed with your fletching or woodcutting or ur fishing. thats all i have to say! btw i believe we should keep the ge as a guideline for prices. and trade should be back like the old times that was fun give friends a helping hand.
thank you jagec for this opertunity go vote!!

as an old school rs player, I think that it would be so exciting to have the old days back ;) , only bad thing is the ''item scamming'' , thats the reason that make people don't like it.. but ist's easy to fix that, all you have to do is setting a ''time'' to accept the panel when sum1 removes the item or coins plus setting it in red and sounding... that would stop item scamming well.
if you jagez reinsert the old days I know many people that would start playing runescape again.
As old days were best that was the only time I had fun in runescape... good old days :) :)
This is only my opinion :P

This voting is a hoax because anyone can vote for you even when you oppose to this. There is no telling if the vote casted is actually yours.
Therefore this poll is a sad excuse for a poll. There is only one answer in this poll and people wanting to vote no have even accidentally voted yes because they thought they could actually vote. The outcome of this poll is therefore disputable and maybe even invalid.
If they truly wanted our opinion they should have made it so you had to log in.
A true poll should have at least 2 answers.

@Need Medics
you do bring up a good point. particularly the part where you wrote " you will have to realse thats how it was back then." and i couldnt agree more,
that WAS the "runescape-way of life" BACK THEN, but what is it now?, i do infact slay green drags for cash and i enjoy doing so, and * do understand that there is more then one place to slay them. i am also, coincidently a long time pker, i have videos even and yes i enjoy the intense feeling i get and the deep joy from getting nice loot of someone, but how does everyone else feel about this decision? after all it isnt just you and me that play runescape right?

1. Jagex are one of the richest businesses in the UK. What won't they do for money? If they weren't going to make a profit off this update, they wouldn't be announcing it.
2. Jagex is winning their war against bots. "We’ve been shutting down bot-makers all around the world and prosecuting people for stealing accounts, and we’ve evolved our systems to quickly detect cheating". Seeing all the stat resets and bans going on recently, the anti-bot system has grown in strength significantly. In addition, they have been taking legal action against bot-related sites. For example, the infamous RSBots is now controlled by Jagex with the site reading "Jagex will take steps to defend its intellectual property and other legal rights. The activities previously offered by this website were against the law." They obviously know what they're doing.
3. "we will have to accept that we will never completely eradicate cheating so long as there is an incentive and method to do so". We, us players, have always known that RWT is not abolishable, no matter what and they've accepted the same idea as well.
4. "I regularly hear from both the community and the Jagex team that we should reintroduce free trade and the excitement of the old Wilderness" - their team wants to do it and so do players. How could they lie about that? It's completely possible for some or many of the Jagex team members to have suggested reintroducing this update! There have definitely been ongoing arguments over the past three years because some team members believe it's a profit-maker and some believe it isn't. They posted a news article and put up a petition clearly because they came to an agreement!
5. You say it's for a Guinness world record? Well, while breaking a world record by getting a massive amount of votes, they could very well be going forth with the update at the same time. Who says that's not a possibility? That would give them a place in a world record AND profit from returning players. Double win

I think bringing old wildy back is a great idea. I don't pk myself, but enjoyed the thrill of making it through wildy to do a clue without being killed!
Trade limits should stay imo.

@Jollyscout
while the validity of the poll is highly argueable i think that using the term hoax is also highly invalid. i couldnt agree with you more on the whole logging in to vote idea because, well, thats a perfect idea! what better way can we keep this poll fair? :P but i do think you were getting a bit ahead of yourself by attempting to convince players that this is a hoax, in reality this could quite easily happen. after all, the jagex team have to power and time to do so dont they?

yes it isnt just me and you... i guess we will have to sit there and wait for the final results then. i just want pvp back im with it 100% runescape will never stop botting will never stop scamming or merching.. and they tried to remove it by taking away pvp and trade limit and it didnt work out so well.. so i hope they just put it back how it was and plus it will benifit them as well.. or maybe they can make worlds for old pvp so that way people who work in the wild and do other activities wont be affected.
