If this proposed changed doesn't actually happen, we are going to see a return of the outcry that happened the first time.
You cannot control bots as it is now. You may collect some, even a majority, but too many times have I seen botters running free. How many times does a player have to stand next to my falcon, trying to pick it up, only to run off and start hunting with his own again once mine is gone, before you realize it is a botter? How many times do I have to report that, watch the player's xp go up on highscores and still not be banned (even for two weeks when it seems you experimented with that, since some xp was being earned constantly) and know that nothing will happen?
Keeping up with botters is a full time endeavor that you haven't perfected or gotten to acceptible levels. When you do, they will evolve and the chase will be on again.
The idea is bad, and as stated before, the 'voting' is laughable.

There are just way too many things wrong with this, and with all this spam currently it will make it difficult to get anything across.
I completely disagree with this Vote and more importantly the way the vote is being held*
***; Only having to type a player’s name in to vote is not a good idea*
***; With all the sudden hype about this vote, people are just making rash decisions to vote, clearly without thinking through their decisions.
Brining back trade + wildy will have the following consequences*
***; Bots everywhere farming for real money
> Item scamming
> Drop trading in wildy
> community events that Jagex themselves support will be missing any events with wildy content, E.G parades, Stealing Creation, First Of Guthix, Wildy Agility, Chaos Elemental.
This will all inevitably create chaos throughout RuneScape and create a lot of flaws in this so called world greatest community.

Hello. I'm your average troll, i live under bridges and eat slop...
Today i've had a good adventure, i went to a website that asked me if I wanted to bring back the trade/wilderness...
Ofcourse, I am a troll, and what do trolls do?
I massively spammed the vote button, but to my suprise, i needed a runescape account name...
I ventured to your highscores, and to my astonishment...
I Found hundreds and thousands and millions of usernames at my disposel and quickly started clicking away..
Oh my gosh that was getting quite hard on my fingers...So i created a MACRO to do it for me...Oh how i loved those hundreds and thousands of votes i just created...
So that was my big adventure... Hope you enjoyed it!

I didn't do that, but millions of people are.

Copy and paste this in your post.

I completely support the idea of restablishing free trade and the beloved wilderness. I won't feel near as restricted upon such a release. I can gamble :D ! No longer will I be told what I can spend upon staking or trading. I'd enjoy this freedom, not near as much as I would enjoy killing a player and actually get what they were using instead of some generated drop based on my time and equipment.
I see alot of rants about people scared of the return of the wilderness from fear of having difficulty of doing there clue scroll :/. The term "Wilderness" seems to me that this area should be dangerous, not something I prepare for by grabbing a couple pieces of food incase of a revenant, this area should oppose a threat to an adventurer.
Bots. Talk of a massive return of bots is being said everywhere. Jagex has stated that they will not stop fighting to remove them, and that is enough for me.

O, hahahah! Kewl joke, Jagex! O wait, you're serious.
On a serious note:
There's 177K players online, 206K votes. If you had half a brain you'll see this so called 'Vote' is flawed. It's a 1-sided vote, why isn't there an option to vote no.
If my name pops up in the list make sure you remove it. I am against this rubbish. :|

1. If we get old Wildy back, can we get it back on certain worlds? I like the wilderness better where we cannot get killed by others, makes me too scared :P 2. If removing Free Trade please do not take out the GE. We all rely on it and taking it out would be extreme disappointment. Also, when trading, state value of trade but keep no limit please. This way, we know if it is a good deal or not and won't get scammed.
