@Cait Sit*
That will never happen

Mainly because they probably already decided to bring it back

@Poomonster7
The only compromise there is, is to bring it all back which it seems Jagex has realized that

Ok well I have read through about 100 posts and have finally come across my decision. My vote is YES to free trade because it's nice to be free and trade what you want when you want to. They should'nt of taken it away in the first place but I can see why they wanted to becuase of rwt. The other reason people don't want free trade back is because of scammers..

Personally I think that if someone gets scammed, it is their fault they gave their items away in the first place. I also agree with eariler posts that stated that lots of other RPG use free trade and work FINE. So as for free trade I say YES.
As for the "Old Wildy" it would be nice to have the old drop system where you would get whatever they were wielding. My only big concern is will the wildy go into affect in all worlds? I personally would like to see the wilderness only go into affect in certain worlds like it is now. As for this i'll just go ahead and say YES!
Cheers to Jagex for making a great game and im sure you have taken in consideration all possible flaws and are 100% sure this is the right move

Happy Holidays,
~Ben~

I think returning free trade and the wild is two things that are fundamental to runescape. I felt a great loss when the trade limit emerged, I could no longer give my friends fun and expensive items, and I have been forced to pay outragious sums for items simply due to the G.E. price, Runescape lost the notion of bargain hunting, and well as it's sense of altruism. People keep mentioning how botters will return, they are already here, and if you implement the past notions to stop them (random creatures of death, mining picks breaking, etc.) it will not be a problem.
People who buy runescape items are simply ruining the game for themselves. Besides a moral and ethical outrage against cheaters and RWT it really doesn't effect the real players of the game. It's sad how it occurs, but it only ruins the sense of accomplishment for those who cheat for them, and they just cheat with bots for stats now anyways.
For people concerning with getting trade scammed, simply follow the Jagex rules, don't give anyway anything you're not willing to lose, it's always been that simple.
I liked the old wild, it held a presense of fear and death, two aspects key to the persona of the wild. Now it feels void and empty except for overpowered revs. There's a reason why no one goes there anymore.
I've played Runescape for 10 years now and I've been really saddened how the player liberties get restrained and limited. Yeah there's going to be cheaters, but they simply ruin their own game.
If Runescape gives anytbing it's a sense of accomplishment from your hard work, buying stats and items is meaningless, and people will bore of that quickly.
Free trade and the wild are fundamental to runescape, I was around when you could fight anywhere on runescape. It added a thrill to runescape that has been barren from it for so long, and picking up people's items when they died was always a welcome surprise.
Obviously caution will need to be applied, but it will work, use your past for answers. I was here before falador...

Quite clearly, bringing back what once corrupted RuneScape's community and economy is a controversial matter. But as with anything else, there's always more to it.
Millions of players have urged for the Wilderness' return ever since the night it was removed, 10 December 2007. I, myself, was among the players who were uncomfortable with such a major change in so little time.
On the other hand, the Wilderness and Free Trade has created sickening methods for luring, cheating (Scamming and Real World Trading is key here), or taking advantages over other players. And for what? Nothing but greed. The worst part is: none of us can deny it.
Though there are many setbacks to this change, I am among the millions who would love seeing the old Wilderness and Free Trade again purely for its sport and usage. But are those millions of players able to control themselves in a respectable manner for everyone else's benefit instead of their own? I think not.
If worse comes to worse and these are re-released, I believe you (the magnificent Jagex staff that I've watched and learned from over the past 9 years of my life) have the critical-thinking skills and capacities to alter anything you begin finding troubles with, like always. If players began taking advantage again, you will do what you must; I just hope that it does not result in the second removal of the Wilderness and/or Free Trade.
Devoted Supporter,
MAIL IN HELL
PS - I must also mention that the Wilderness and Free Trade voting page is ill-advertised. As I go around asking for players' opinions on the matter, three-fourths of them don't even *now this voting session is taking place. I believe some substantial changes (such as making it the headline update on the news page or the Message of the Week) are needed. Another detail I must bring up is that thousands of anti-Wilderness/Free Trade or unaware players are having their votes cast by other players, as all that is required is merely the players' username to vote.
