I've personally played this game since before phats dropped in classic and to me the removal of the wilderness and free trade was the single best update Jagex has ever **me up with.
When people can openly trade they simply create throwaway lvl 3 accounts to bot and produce cash that they give to their Main Account through the wilderness or open trade, protecting their Main Account from getting banned. I remember attempting to cut yew trees along with 20 (no joke at all) lvl 3 bots named ping1243, ping1244, ping1245, exc. When everyone bots it creates an unfair market as items in less supply which cannot be botted to obtain (God Wars Material, D Claws, Rares) are bought out by the botting population which no longer cares for price.
Also, there is no point in creating a pole with one option. Why isn't the pole system P-word protected; I can type in the names of everyone I see at the GE and get myself a good 500 votes by the end of today, hell, someone’s probably already voted that I want to bring everything back. Why can't I vote against the wilderness and free trade? I'm just waiting for Jagex to bring everything back saying that 100% of voters chose to bring it back on a pole with only that option.
For those who want the old wilderness back, I do support making the current wilderness on all worlds PVP. What many people don't realize is that the current PVP system also gives players a ton more cash than the old system used to (as a PK'er myself).
PS - For everyone assuming that me and others against free trade are against it because of scamming, that idea is ridiculous.
