In my personal opinion I think that the wilderness should be inactive to player killers in a small percentage of worlds as the PvP world are currently. The reason for this would be to allow players to freely do clue scrolls and other wilderness activities without the fear of a clan attack. I also think with the free trade rule being re-introduced the GE should stay as it saves countless hours of trying to sell your products individually. I think that items sold in the GE stay as a set price, but items sold player to player are free trade so if somebody is desperate for an item right away they can offer a higher price than it would be sold for in the GE and get it in less time from another player who sees they are buying it for that price rather than waiting for someone to sell that item at the lower price but maybe a day or two later. Please consider my opinion.

i beleive, as a rather old player, it would be an increase to jagex player count and funds, i shouldn't comment on the money process but, if i remember correctly, use lost thousands of players through those changes.
maybe, if it is recognised on the internet, old players will come back, also saying this, prices of many items will be changed of course and difficulties will occur with item scamming.
but i vote yes.

Yes. Bring the wildy and free trade back.
I have played Runescape since 2004. I played with 3 close friends and we always worked together. Runescape was a place of fun and sharing. Let me tell you there is no feeling like giving a friend an abyssal whip on his birthday or a santa on Christmas.
Those were the best days of Runescape. Time passed group pking in the wildy and "lending" items for undeclared amounts of time. I knew what drop I was getting by looking at someone.
Now I am the only one of the four who still plays Runescape. The others quit the day that the wildy and free trade left. Canceled their subscription the same day.
I remember a day when I had to SCROLL down my friend's list to find the friend I wanted to talk to... Now I never have more than 5 friends on, on a full list.
One of them was helping me run ess to make law runes. I had given him 50,000 p ess and we made trips. He still has each and every one of those ess, not being able to give them back.
I told them about this vote and each one of them voted the minute I told them.
RWTing was a problem... not an impending apocalypse. Luring is a matter of common sense. When someone in a van offers candy, don't take it. Similarly, when a jerk in the wilderness offers items, don't take them. Scamming can be easily prevented with the cost of an item at the bottom of the trade window.
This may not be much of a compelling argument. As I look over this it looks like a drawn-out nostalgic whine.
But bring the wildy back and you will have 3 more members, 4 more happy players, and over a million people behind you.

Amen, Frogger. More than 2/3 of my old pure's friends' list quit when the wild was removed..
Most of the people posting here are against it because the vast majority of the community would love to have these things back and are going onto the poll to vote for it.
Sure, cheaters could have easier chances to do what they do. But if you think about it, they will continue to cheat whether or not this update happens (just like when the wild was taken away in the first place).
You were scammed or lured and you lost a lot of valuable stuff? That's your fault. Jagex shouldn't have to install a failsafe to keep you from doing something stupid.
Removing the trade limit and bringing back the wild is almost any old player's dream. That was when you could help friends out with cash and items**** with clans and give/get real fair shares of loot, have drop parties or hide 'n' seek events during 99 parties or clan events.
The update would bring some small negatives, but they would be massively overwhelmed by the fun and originality that would be brought back to the game.

You have to realize, Jagex is not necessarily in it for the players. They're in it for the money. They've had dedicated players who have stuck around through the changes, but they're looking for more. With the old trade and wilderness brought back, more players will play again, which in turn brings more funds.
I can easily see both sides of it, though I myself am for it. I see it as a way for Jagex to put more trust in its players, rather than hawking over their every move. I see it as an attempt to let the players play the game, rather than limiting them to just a few things they can do.
Granted, this doesn't free up everything. There are still going to be issues with it, and RWT and botting are big parts of this. However, the staff feels confident that they can combat botting, and if they say they can, then why not give it a shot?
All I'm saying is that it's worth giving it a chance. Don't nay-say everything until you've let it prove itself.

This is nifty. I certainly put my name in the vote for it, seeing as I find it potentially stimulating for the RuneScape community. I'd ****idering returning to play RuneScape as a full-time player if this change were implemented.
Only time will tell, I guess. And there are many quirks to work out before something this drastic could occur.

I would rather this not happen just because I don't want to readjust myself. I was never scammed when the old system was up and I never saw any botters or anything.
The only thing I am worried about are the Summer quests. I guess I'll just have to finish them before the decsion.

As i can see a fair amount of people are saying no. This is because when jagex did take out the old wildy and trade limit it left hundreds of thousands quiting. IMO bring it back i'd love you start staking bils again and also help my friends out of they are low on cash.
almost 1.6m votes so far :) keep it up
