Talking about the effort it took to remove the issue, as well as the work Pmods and Fmods did to take measures to help prevent the issues and to continue informing people after the removal why it had to happen for years only to destroy everything that was done and bring it back along with the problems it gave. You say one thing there and actioned on it, now you're saying the whole thing was for nothing and talk of bringing it back.
I am against returning to the old wilderness, I didn't like it before and I won't like it now and the free trade is just asking for more problems and damaged business. At least now it's harder to scam people due to low trade limit. I see nothing wrong with the GE now and less trade and the Wilderness. Both can use updates but returning to the old days is NOT what's needed at all.
You're just asking for trouble legally yourself as well as for the longer term players. If this happens, be prepared to say hello to more lawyers and welcome back the ragequiters, botters, rwters, ranters, and idiots.
QUOTED BY ANDREW!
"Above all, we're a games company. We don't want to spend all our time and energy fighting gold-sellers and bots, we want to get on with making the game," says Andrew.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Exactly the point, they was wasting too much time and money trying to stop something that will always be there, they can reduce it, but it will never be gone!
Anyones that plays others mmorpg's should know that it isnt just runescape, so quit thinking it's somehow jagex fault, this is part of life, and you should know by now that you have to deal with your troubles, you can't run away from them forever, they will eventually catch you.
Any mmorpg can be exploited, so quit being selfish, and foolish, this is for the good of the game, if they are not spending so much time fighting bots, they will release more updates and content, it's not rocket science people!

Guys. Everybody is complaining about ******** scamming and account stealing will be worse. I have played from 2004-Present and I was never hacked between 2004-2007. NEVER. I never knew hacking was a big issue then either. Nobody I knew had been hacked. Since 2008 I have been hacked twice and several of my friends have been also. The strangest thing is, my recovery q's and pass is changed every 2-3 months. So I am all for bringing back free trade and the old wildy. Before the change in 2007, if somebody removed an item from a trade an red "!" would come up where the item was. So if you were stupid enough to miss that, to be honest you deserve to be scammed. I was only scammed once and I admit it was entirely my fault. And the item was only worth about 100k so who cares? I had no idea what it was, the person said it was worth 1M but I could have it for 100k. Was entirely my fault, too good to be true, only an idiot would fall for it (me lol). But really, if you are scammed once, normally you learn from that and if you get scammed again, you were dumb enough to let it happen twice so honestly - you deserve it...
The Old Wilderness... I loved it. Such a sense of risk, excitement, adrenaline. Now. It's just boring. Nothing to do. Can't run about hiding from pkers or anything. I think Jagex wouldn't even suggest this change unless they were confident that they had the technology available to them to stop RWT. So they must be able to. Trust Jagex. They know what they are doing.

@Yeah Its Cal
right on!
damn straight they are confident, wilderness have been suggested for how ling? and every time it been shot down.
The only other reason they would re-add it if the game was dying and they wanted money, which in that case you might as well enjoy it as much as you can right?

not only do i belive that the voting system isn't right, but changing things to how they were in the past is never a step forward, im just hoping that this is some sort of joke.
the game is balanced and everything works fine, theres a proper pvp system and a proper trade system aswel and i couldnt ask for more, but in both cases if this actually does happen, im hoping that its done in the right way

Just increase trade limits to something reasonable. 60,000 is a drop in the bucket.
Opening free trade up simply allows the botters and merchants to manipulate markets even more by mass transfering botted stuff between accounts.
leave it alone.
develop a security program to monitor someone's time in game. when you see continuous time exceed a certain limit, say 10 hours or so, and the player has been doing the exact same thing all the time, its pretty clear they are a bot.
roll back their levels and confiscate the stuff they botted.
then flag their account as abuse and check back periodically.
and if free account abuse is still an issue, consider limiting the amount of cash/items a free account can possess at one time.
