Glad to see that it looks like the old wilderness will be coming back. I also missed getting to pick my own prices for the things I was selling in banks. I've never really liked the Grand Exchange - it's too easy to get anything you want. It's like Wal*Mart.
Maybe once free trade is back the GE will phase out. Who knows...

in the old runescape there were no gravestones or anything to protect your items as they do now. When you died you had about 30 seconds of time to get your items back. If you didn't they would appear on the ground for another 30 seconds or so.
If the wilderness is brought back the gravestones will block any pkers from receiving the items unless the person is skulled. Will this remove the gravestones from the game? If so then I will not be training anymore the risk of losing my items like the old pk system does not sound like a good idea.
Im against having old wildy/trade back
Old Wildy = Newer lower level players getting tricked into being killed ect...
New Wildy = Effective system to keep new players aware of the dangers of going into the wilderness
Old Trade = An easy way to transfer items between hacked/stolen accounts and higher possiblity of being hacked, yes you still have your bank pin, but it is definately not as safe
New Trade = An effective way to protect against Hackers, also helps block some of the newer players from asking for "Free St00f"
I hope this has persuaded you to vote No.
I will be sad to see these updates return to the game.
Thank you for reading.

I vote a huge NO.
When I first heard about this, I thought it would be wonderful to have Runescape back to the way I used to know it (warts and all).
But the longer I think about it, the more I realize that I don't really want the old Runescape back, it's more the memories I have of it and the thought of playing like in the "good old days" again.
Other than that, there's really nothing about the old Runescape that I want back, I was never a big fan of PKers, especially the ones who cheap shot you while you're trying to runecraft or make Air Orbs.
Bringing free trade back would, in my opinion, have more disadvantages than advantages to both the game and its players.
Gold farmers will come back, scammers, beggars, selling in-game items for rl money***** would be made useless because people will just manipulate prices to however much they want to sell an item for anyway, which is quite a shame really, because I very much prefer the current economy to how it used to be.
At least the game has a semblance of fairness now.

What kind of life must these people arguing against the GE have on Runescape? I know the GE is SUPPOSED to stay with these changes, but obviously there are no guarantees accompanying ANY pronouncements Jagex makes. We are starting to get real suspicious of the honesty of anything they say or do about now, TBH. I can't understand people who would willingly sacrifice so much of their playing time to standing around Fally Park in a world you can't log into for 10 minutes because it's full, just to keep your bank from filling up with tons of stuff you've gotten that you'd rather convert to cash. All that time we used to spend looking for buyers is OK with them just so they can get rich overcharging or underpaying for items. I feel sorry for you people so obsessed with making money that you'd be willing to lose the GE.
Don't anybody reading this panic, I'm not saying there are plans to remove the GE; it's just an amazing side issue that has come up several times here.

i lawlz at posts of scamming, why should an element of the game change to compensate for a lack of another persons intelligence. There was a wilderness ditch for a long time before wildly was taken out, that alone should be fair enough to warn players, a IGM even came up before u crossed. If u consider it being scammed after that your just fail and losing your items is a very good way to teach u the error of your noob ways. Guess i gotta start making another 1def pure.....

I'm interested in how supporters reconcile two apparently contradictory arguments they frequently use:
1) Bringing back the wildy will be great because a ton of people that quit when it went away will come back. OMG don't you know PKing is the heart and soul of runescape; everybody who plays (90% now supposedly) loves to PK. It'll be fun cause twice as many people will be online at a time than there is now.
2) What are all you chicken crybabies worrying about, with PVP wildys on every world all the PKers will be spread across all the servers; there'll only be a few per world, you'll see fewer of them than Revs now. All you have to do is only bring 3 items and run like crazy every time you see a white dot, unless of course more than one attacks you at once in which case you're dead.
So which is it?
Half the planet just can't wait to strap on their Dragon Claws and kill people just the way it used to be? (reread that sentence and meditate on the inherent contradiction)
Or, it's no big deal, you probably won't run into many anyway?
Personally, I don't like being "alpha'd" whether I lose any items or not, or whether I am just forced to run away. And I guarantee the only times I'll be going into the wildy, if I die I'll be losing items, because it will only be for quests and clue scrolls which are essentially irreplaceable.
The immature bullies just want to impose their will on those of us who just want to go about our business. You want to see how immature? Skim through this thread just noting the NAMES of people on either side. Then make another pass to sample the quality of arguments and attitudes on either side.
I know this is happening whether a majority of us wanted it or not. (And I'm still not sure if even a simple majority do; ain't no chance 90% of people do)
I REALLY like Dan1101's suggestion a few pages back, though it won't happen. Friends list, Ignore list, S*** list. Or call it Revenge list; anyone who kills you goes on and can't hide from it.
