It's funny how certain issues seem to bring out the uncivilized and immature players. Since I hadn't had occasion to read the forum rules in quite a while, I skimmed through them and found several passages that are highly relevant to this thread:
Quote:
"You must not exploit, attempt to exploit, or advertise any errors/faults/bugs you encounter in our software. This includes giving other players step-by-step instructions on how to find and/or abuse them."
[other things not allowed:]
"Posting to say that you've broken a rule and got away with it.
"Anything that promotes rule breaking in a positive manner.
"In addition we will not tolerate any form of spamming, or other disruptive posting behaviour on the Forums."
End Quote.
And yes, I'm aware of the rule against "Back seat Modding," but I'm simply pointing out that while I've seen some posts get hidden, so I know there are forum mods going through the posts, they seem to need reminding of some of the basic rules of decorum here.
It's not fun wading through all the repetetive cut and paste spam on this thread, and the spam is clearly against the rules.
Also, the design of the poll is every bit as much "bugged" as things people get banned in game for exploiting, and whether posters are lying, mistaken or correct when they proudly admit to voting other people's names, their posts are also quite clearly against the rules.
If you're not going to enforce your own rules, don't have them.
And before someone reposts the claim that you can't vote fraudulently: There is a wealth of evidence on this thread that it is happening, and those of us against the idea are incapable of testing claims that it can't happen since testing would require us to vote yes (as if supporters haven't already voted for us all). I, for one, find it impossible to take anyone's word for it, since anyone with honest intentions wouldn't have designed the poll the way they did.

I would love to see the wilderness and free trade come back. I have been a dedicated player for more than 3/4 of a decade now.
This change would truly bring back old memories for me and in my opinion would make the game a lot better for the players.
Thank you very much for taking a poll to see whether to bring wilderness and free trade back or not.

As I said before, I believe the point of the poll is merely to see reactions. The descision has already been made.
Though I actually do vote yes to this all, the way they are going about things is simply, deplorable.

I honestly dont think people that weren't there during the old system should have a say in this . They don't know what it was like, yes, you werr scammed . yes, you were lured . yes, you had bots . but all of this is still here . people lure unknowing noobs into dangerous situations just to see them lose all their 57uff . but, you learn from your mistakes . it's as possible to eliminate cheaters in RS as it is in RL . There is no point on any restriction on trade .

I'm not saying the poll isn't flawed, it's is designed extreamely poorly, and yes there is a way to cheat i didn't want to say it as you have though.
But yea, I really don't understand why it's done that way, there should be a yes, and a no as well as a log in. TBH, I think it would help the Yes side, but at least it would let us all know it's done in a fair way.

What I miss most about free trade is when me and my friends would go to lumby and drop steal armours, weapons, food, ect all sorts of items for n00bs just starting out to pick up or find a n00b having a hard time getting on in the game and give them money and assist them in preparation for quests I know quite a few high levels that wouldn't be playing right now if me and my friends hadn't helped them get started by giving them free stuff.

Not long ago Mod Mark joined his clan chat and answered a large amount of questions. Here are some of the points of the answers that may interest you:
1. Poll is real, not a joke.
2. The poll is more cosmetic, as the names do not matter.
3. Minigames and Quests will be relocated outside of the wilderness.
4. PvP items such as Vesta and Corrupt will be kept in-game, but obtained differently.
5. Clue scrolls or Abyss will be altered to accommodate for the greater risk.
6. Revenants will be removed from the wilderness, but possibly be used elsewhere.
7. Bounty Hunter and PvP worlds will be removed for now.
8. The Ge will remain with the free trade.
9. Staking will have no cap as well.

Other quotes:
"I dont plan to roll back the graphics no
Just the gameplay
issues like extreme pots and new weapons
will be considered carefully - is all i can say."
-
"we will be changing whats in the wilderness
so dont assume we are killing treasure trails."

I think you are right, they probably have decided, after all, they've lost alot of income. I think they did the poll just to make sure what they already knew...that the majority is for this. (they are, out of the 30 or so I've talked to i've heared 5 at most (more likely 3) against it.
