hey,
I've been playing Runescape since way before free trade got took out of the game and when the real wilderness was still in play. I have to admit Runescape is still a fun game but the ways to make money are very limited now and for instance Christmas is tomorrow, when the free trade was here we would give each other highly priced gifts such as whips, fury's and barrows armour. Also when a friend died or gut lured/hacked you had the ability to help them along, to help them rebuilt their bank.
Yes i got lured myself when i was a noob but it wasn't such a great deal as i knew there were many ways to make money back such as merchanting. This was a great way of making money and required no skill levels what so ever. Also JaGeX have came up with ways of keeping new players out of the wilderness with the new wilderness wall which if i remember correctly has warning message when you frst enter
From what i have heard many of the people that quit runescape when the wilderness went are going to come back, to pk with friends and get real pk drops! I have already spoke to a few of my old Runescape mates and they are gettng the money to buy membership again for the new wildy and to catch up with old mates. Not a few salmon, an iron dagger and a rune set, but a whip and maybe more.
All MMORPG games will have botters and there will be no way on earth to stop them all with their software things changing by the week. But botting will not effct us legit players as much as we will be able the make money just as fast as them and we wont have to worry about items such as logs and ores dropping or raising in price because of free trade. So on the money side of things they will have no advantage at all.
I really hope that the free trade and wildy goes through, and it will be the best Christmas present to the Runescape community and a brilliant start to the new year. It will also defo get me back into Runescape again and hopefully Runescape will have that thrill it used to have again!
