Why did jagex fight so hard and stood by they were never bringing wilderness and free trade back? And now they suddenly bring it back for no apparent reason... If they were going to bring it back it should of been shortly after they removed it, not years after they did.

No. the game doesn't revolve around pking, and the wilderness doesnt revolve around the rest of the game, as well every skill doesn't.
As you can see by the vote so far, 90% of total votes say Yes to bringing back wilderness (that's 405,000 people) and only 8% say No to bringing back wilderness (that's 36,000) Huuge difference in numbers.
In a situation like this we have a vote, like we are now, and majority wins. In this case seems like it's going to be a a landslide.
The game revolves around the decision of the majority of players. of course after jagex's approval.

that's a good observation. But if you read everything jagex had to say, they mention that during these couple of years after gotten rid of wildy, they have improved on their anti bot techniques and such.
They didn't want to take away our free trade and wildy, they admitted that. It was their only way of eliminating the bot problem and rwt.

I have been a player for about 5 years now and I found myself after the removal of free trade and the wild losing interest just because I'd always lend friends GP and items, not everyone bots and I think it was unfair to punish all players for this but I have a idea:
If you are caught botting that account receives all the usual suspensions etc but after the suspension the account should have the trade limit imposed for 1 year.

Well I'm not going to continue to repeat all my arguments again, even though at least when I repeat myself I don't simply repost old screeds or childish art.
I'll limit myself to again observing that people are extremely transparent when they suddenly start attributing such levels of concern for the majority opinion to Jagex. They've never cared much about what the majority wanted before, and if they actually believed that a majority of people wanted this now, they would never have designed such a bogus first poll.

hmm well i think jagex main problem is websites that create hundreds of lvl 3 accounts that are disposable if they get banned or punished or whatever
A more sufficient way to prevent botting would be to require every rs account to be linked to ssn (you could still have more than 1 account.) but if u misbehave on runescape so much where u keep creating botting accounts, then you would get ssn ban.
I know this probly sound a bit crazy to alot of you, but if you've ever applied for a job, chances are you've already entered your ssn over the internet. Plus it's a near perfect system, there is only so many ssn a 1 person can get ahold of before they go to prison.

Well of course.
It was my understanding that you're only allowed one account per person, period. Yeah, you can pay for someone else's, like I pay for my son's, but that still means one person per account. Of course I know it's completely unenforced.
[EDIT: I see I'm behind the times, the rules say it's been permissible to have multiple accounts for a while now.]
It's also true that when you're caught botting YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE BANNED. Permanently. Not suspended. Not rolled back. Supposedly, they research any other accounts the offender is linked to and ban them too. They refuse to make any serious attempt to enforce this either, as demonstrated by the many stories here and the evidence of your own eyes in the game.
If people were being banned frequently NOW, when you have to risk your own account to do it, you wouldn't see long lines of bots running back and forth all over the place. The message would soon go out -- if you do it your account is toast. Seeing so many now proves they are failing to get rid of bots in two ways. They don't get rid of the ones you see. And they're failing to disincent botting effectively by failing to enforce their rules.
You people only accept their story that they're going to crack down because it suits your current preference.
When this goes through you'll be complaining about bots like those of us who tried to warn you are now. And I won't be interested in hearing your complaints. I'll demand a test: did you vote to revert? If yes, shut up.
