Personally i find this a terrible idea. absolutley horrible. In my early years playing runescape, I had been scammed for nearly everything I, AND my friend had, due to a lure. The reason i had everything my friend owned was because of THE FREE TRADE, because of a believable lure into the wilderness. As simple as that I'd lost everything. Lots of people have learned better, although some may not be to knowledgable. If you'd ever go to youtube, you could see that there are hundreds of videos about being "lured" into the wilderness, and killed unknowingly for their partyhats, and who knows how many millions.
Even the voting process is broken! You can vote multiple times!
Have you payed any attention to what would happen to the economy? What happens to every single expensive pvp oriented weapon? What happens to Chaotic? The reason an armadyl godsword is so expensive now, is because its valuable to pkers. Now? If you get caught with low prayer points, you can die and lose everything you have. They used to be safe! Now, this update would mean they could be smited, lured, and lost as easy as 1, 2, 3. No longer can you risk taking highly priced items to corporeal beast, or to keep you safe while doing clue scrolls. All gone. Good bye economy, good bye safe pvp, and hello real world trading and luring.
I've already lost everything once. And i'm damn well not willing to have it happen again.
People don't like updates because they don't like adaptation. Look at constitution? There was so much raging and now everything is fine. No one cares. People accept the changes. What you've done is for the better. Free trade would be a nice thing to have back, but you would have to crack down on the security to prevent scamming in the trade system. The grand exchange should DEFINATELY be kept, so players have an idea of the value of the items their trading.
I may come around sooner or later, but i would like to see the greater details.
