I'm assuming you aren't expecting regular players to answer the questions about access to the abyss or the air obelisk.
It's been quite a while since even a lowly forum mod posted here, much less an actual Jagex employee who would be the only one capable of providing a semi-useful answer to those questions. Yes they named a few things that would be moved out of the wildy a long time ago, assuming they don't change their mind, which they frequently do. Now the supporters frequently claim clue scrolls would be moved out too, which is not at all what Jagex said, last I heard.

In old wildy I never saw air obelisk filled with pkers. Not even in todays pvp do I see people there. and there are a select few pvp worlds, with every world being open to wilderness combat I dont think u'd see too many pkers in 1 day. but still. Never saw pkers there. if u do, they are nub pkers that probly will fail miserably to pk u

In my opinion, the trade restrictions should be set to 1M or something similar, nothing too big or too small. As soon as trading is unrestricted, 'Real World Trading' will come right back. Wilderness has had too much added for it to become 'dangerous' again. Moving quests and Clan Wars and so on, is too much, where would you move it to? The Spirit of Summer relied on the areas in the wilderness and the Corpreal Beast would be hard to get to without having some kind of run in with someone who wants to kill you. It's a hard monster to beat with players their best equipment, let alone with equipment you wouldn't want to lose to a 'pker'.

i dont care about the wilderness that much, but with free trade people can get scammed very easily. So are items goin to have a certain value and players can sell items for more or less depending on how badly a player wants that item?
ex) rune platebody has a value of 70k gp and a player is sellin it for a different value

The old wilderness was only dangerous for skillers who were preyed upon by the most cowardly "pkers". Sure they want it back. Nowadays they have to deal with Revs which attack indiscriminately. Some times Revs kill you, but even if they don't, they still make you use up resources or teleblock you from entering the content you were heading towards. Unarmed skillers were never so much trouble. Not exactly a huge risk for an easy glory drop. If you want to bring back the Old Wildy for Pkers then leave it to Pkers and relocate anything that isn't PK related.
Don't believe people who tell you skill areas were vacant of PKers - that's a LIE. They camped the skill areas like vultures. Often they would alch in groups while waiting for a skiller to come along. They didn't fight the other PKers that were camped out there. They only wanted the easy kill. Don't preach to me about the thrill of the risk. I don't see how killing an unarmed person is the least bit risky.

I'd say this is a great idea. When I got my friend to start they didn't like how tedious the start out was. They wanted to experience pking right off the back. This way they could if this free trade takes effect. They can just train up and I can give them some money!

I vote yes, because I want a true economy where WE dictate the prices again, not just some computer generated wealth compilation based on numbers being sold. I want to be able to make my OWN price again. Now I KNOW bots will be back, but we had people who "killed" bots via items
Now the wildy Im glad is back, since the revs were more dnageous then pkers to me, especially to just get specific items(god capes, mage arena, treasure trails) there were more revs then pkers that killed me doing those. A pker you can usually tell them that youre doing something like treasure trail/getting god capes and theyll stop, but revs cant *top, due to their AI. Yes luring will be back, yes ice plateau pking will be back, but now I can fight again without being scared of losing my items.
I vote yes many times over
