I can’t make a fully informed decision as I never experienced the *good old days* as everyone puts it, however my thoughts are that the voting as its set up can’t be taken serious it isn’t a clear picture on what everyone wants. I don’t get the option to vote no for one just by not replying does not show my opinion. Also anyone can type in my name therefore vote for me. If you plan to have a vote I think it’s a good idea to show both yes and no responses and people should have to sign in to vote that will avoid others using names not theirs.
I am thinking that bringing back old wild and free trade isn’t a good idea because it will affect people freely enjoying agility, rune crafting, stars, penguins, green drags, clue scrolls, beacon network and more....
If you do insist on bringing this back I believe it should be limited to certain worlds.

Free trade I don’t think is a good idea this opens up people being taken advantage of and possibly crashing the market. However increasing limits the longer you know a person is something you should consider. We have a whole community to consider with a wide range of age groups from the very young to much older players not to mention different intellect. We need to ensure the opportunity to take advantage of people isn’t increased.
I’m sure there are a lot of positives to bringing it back but there sure are a lot of negatives. My vote is NO unless you look at restricting it to some worlds.

I'm not expressing my opinion for the poll. Actually, I won't even recognize the poll officially until it's repaired. To hell with voice and opinion, the thing is broken.
1) No pass required. Now I can go and vote for everyone I see in the exchange... everyone in the castlewars lobby. Everyone on the highscores table. Do they all want the Old Wilderness? Or free trade? Eh, who cares! I can vote for them, actually, multiple times!
2) Not being able to say "no." Ok, I GET WHY there isn't a "no" option, but seriously, how can you possibly get an accurate view of what people want, when you have millions upon millions of inactive accounts all defaulting to "no?"
Because of #2, people FOR the "old days" don't stand an icecube's chance in hell in winning the poll, DESPITE #1.
Because of #1, already over a million players have had their voice falsely represented in the cry for change.
Be reasonable, Jagex. This poll doesn't work. Of course I'm in favor of a poll to bring it back- it would benefit the community to know where the majority stands, whether Free Trade and the Wilderness return or not. But for crying out loud, what were you thinking?!
1) Pass-protect the poll. This isn't something you can take lightly. If nothing else changes, THIS IS THE THING TO DO!
2) Find a new voting mechanic. Unless you KNOW how many players are inactive, and delete them from the results, add an option to vote against it.

"For the first 5 years of this game the wildy operated fine. Im sick of people saying well I like to quest and skill in the wildy.
HELLOOO people did that! Its not like it was a completely disfunctional zone. People say well its gonna be hard to do the quests now. Thats good, the game should be a challenge."
I truely <3 u
Half the ppl whining werent even on when this stuff existed and cant comprehend that these things existed before wildy was nerfed.
Trade limits on the other hand have always hurt those who hate quest and simply skilled or pked** :) *
