I chose not to vote, because it doesn't give the option of voting Yes or No for the two VERY DIFFERENT options.
I'd really like it if the old trading system was re-introduced into the game because I love giving away a couple hundred to a friend in need, but as for the old wilderness, I think I'd rather have a pass at that.
Adding the old wilderness would cause greater difficulty for me( and others ) to comeplete clue scrolls, as well as going to clan/activity events such as Clan Wars and Stealing Creations.
It'd also be alot easier to lure/scam like they did in "The good ol' days", and not to mention the time/resource consuming efforts it will take to bring both back into the game.
Training methods will become obsolete and Slayer tasks would be alot harder to complete with the risk of being attack by other players. Sure there are other locations to train and slay at, but many are not as close to a bank as they are in the wilderness.
I often go to the wilderness volcanoe when I recive a hellhound/demon/ankou task, but that's out of the picture for many players such as myself if the old wilderness is reimplimented into the game.
What I'm trying to say is to do the community a favor and give the option of voting Yes or No for Free-Trade and give the option of voting Yes or No for the Original Wilderness.
Kind regards*

If you have a detection system robust enough to deal with the additional RWT issues that the former wildy and free trade certainly will bring back, then why has not this system virtually eliminated all bots and cheaters from the game already?
There are many well known hot-spots. With free-trade in place it will make transferring the illicit items to other accounts even easier. Let’s see that new system in action and let it clean up the mess we already have prior to loading it up some more with this proposed change.
Many of your players routinely hunt for and report bots. Your team does take action but would appear to behind in following through. If they cannot keep up now, how could they possibly keep up when you re-open the flood gates? If the number of reports increases do to increased illicit activity, how much more time will it take to adjust or remove these cheating players?

First of all; the majority of the players I see completely against this, are the players that have started since the updates or around the updates. In essence, these players have been cradled with the GE and new wildy and have NO idea as to how it was 6+ years ago.
I say this much though - Update SOME worlds with this and leave a few how it is now; even go so far as to separate the two, as you did with runescape classic and runescape 2.
I've quit this game for the past 2 years, however this may just tempt me to come back. Trecking through the wilderness in constant worry of getting jumped by some level 126 or some pking clan was one of the most-fun aspects of the game.
The complainers were the ones that were ignorant enough to walk into the wilderness unprepared. That's why you, Jagex, created the wilderness ditch.
As for free trade, I say it should be reinstated, however keep the GE to be used as a price reference. Players will generally still sell items in that price range. If somebody sells a very expensive item for much more than it's worth and somebody is stupid enough to pay that price it's on them. Sorry - should've checked the prices. I got scammed numerous times before I finally figured out to be smart. Do like the olden days and LEARN and not be babied.
However, that said, these updates will be a tremendous hit to the new players that aren't used to NOT being babied. I suggest it not be such a violent transition. Slowly transform it into the old ways as easily as you, Jagex, can. If you do this I suggest hiring a team that works SPECIFICALLY for player reports. Instating this, there will be a LOT of reports for botters. I suggest impleminting a system to allow for videos as proof of botting. Yes, steal a little bit from Nexon. It's okay. Their system works, so that's all that matters.
In my final words I say, this is a crazy change and it makes me very happy. I vote yes! However, the transition into it, won't be easy and must be taken with light steps

Also, apologize for the double post, but I have one thing to say to the complainers about the wilderness being dangerous -
Learn to be mindful of your surroundings. The wilderness is MEANT to be a dangerous and terrifying place. Unless you've played this game 6+ years ago you have NO idea of what that can be.... however, THAT is what made the wilderness so fun.
If you go into the wilderness and die, learn a valuable lesson - Don't stray into multicombat areas alone EVER unless absolutely necessary. Don't follow some higher level into the wilderness with your best armor.. as a matter of fact follow no one into the wilderness with your best armor ESPECIALLY if they are leading you into a known multicombat zone.
Seriously people, stop worrying. If you be smart the wilderness is easily survivable. Your whining just infuriates me. Things like clue scrolls USED to be done WHILE being chased by a team of pkers. It's a rush most of you will never understand.

No, no and another no for wildy back.
Seriously, people just want wildy back because of nostalgia.
The Pvp worlds brilliantly replace wildy, but JUST give pvp worlds full drops like the wildy did...wildy back and bigger. Everybody happy about that?
As for free trade, hmm, Lets take a path in between: the trade limit has to increase, but a fat huge warning window popping up if there is a large difference in value asking for another verification. Against hacking: max 20% of the stuff you own (value) can be transfered for free every...1-2 days. This should give the hacked person some time to recover the hacked account.
DO NOT DELETE clan wars, it is awesome, the no risk Pvp, putting high risk pvp in the way of getting there kills it.
I agree on the new runescape classic thingy...people wanting wildy and free trade..fine, but dont drag US ALL into YOUR nostlagia.

Well I meant a larger team than they currently have. They need a team large enough to deal with the bots, that would most-likely jump the gun as soon as the update happens.
As for being a member. I was a member for 3 years, so yes I know. I never was stupid enough to bring dragon armor out into the wilderness (when dragon med helms were still 300k and dragon chains were 20m lol), but I did lose a whip or two and some other things.
The point is, however, if you're stupid enough to bring that much worth into a dangerous place, then at least know the risks. That's the fun of it though, because with the risks comes the chance you'll find another plaer to prey on yourself ;D
Come in with better stuff = better chance to kill but also = better chance to lose more as well.
