Wilderness and Free Trade Vote

Coincidence? I think not. The game was overrun with bots, scams, lures, etc. The game reached a point of practically being unplayable by any true gamers. By restricting areas of content that were highly abused, Jagex were free to focus on developing richer content and they were recognized for it. Moving backwards is backwards thinking.
It's amazing how the very petition to reintroduce these highly abused areas of content was rife with false votes. People were voting for themselves, their friends, strangers on the hiscores, etc. How ironic a that petition regarding highly abused content should itself be abused.
Meanwhile the second poll which requires a login, hasn't managed to hit 500k in four days. That's not exactly an impressive number. And check out some of the names listed as recent voters. Of the 15 displayed on the page, I only found 4 that were ranked. Only FOUR. Out of 15. Seriously? Yeah, talk about flooding the vote with newly created accounts.

If pking comes back to the wildy and the revs go, then lol, lol, lol the wildy will be easier and pk loot will be lower than now.
Now if I want to hunt penguins, do clues or light beacons, I have to prepare for revs, because they attack anything regardless of whether you are carrying any tradeable wealth. If the old wildy comes back, well I can armour up with untradeables and the pker gets nothing.
Explorer ring, seers headband, falador shield, fremmick boots, varrock armour, Excalibur (enchanted better but doesn’t have to be), zannicks crossbow, skill cape – if I get pked I can get it all back cheaply, the pker will get nothing. It wont take long to get my dragon defender back, as long as I still have a rune defender in the bank. Go get your defenders people
Suggestions please of more untradeables, quest rewards I can take and not risk because I can talk to NPC and get them back – lol.
I can take extreme pots and the pker cannot take them. Clues are not tradeable – don’t open them or read them in the wildy – the pker gets nothing.
IN effect I will be risking very little except my time to get items back. But if it is obvious I am only wearing untradeables will the pker risk taking me on? Could I use korassis sword on him and turn the tables?
Let us have an anti-pk clan, a bit like the anti pk team in sc. We can build a strategy to advise all players who have to enter the wildy how not to risk their stuff. Pkers will be easier than revs, because revs attack regardless. Let us turn the tables and deprive the pking bullies of their unjust rewards.
Supporting Pking bullies is the wrong message to send to the community Jagex. I’m disappointed in you. But we can make sure if they mug us they get nothing of value and over time, once the lesson is learned they will be far less risk than the revs are now.
Oh now the pkers will get less reward than they do now, then they start crying for the new old wildy back lol lol lol.

I agree with this idea , sounds like a perfect plan to kick start the good old days again.
I have been playing runescape since RSC days (for 10yrs!) and have been through the ups and downs, I also have been through sooo many updates in regards to PvP.
In regards to botting, bots will always exist ... even now that free trading has been limited and wilderness removed , the botters and RWT are still at large and scamming is not abolished as there are ways in which players have been able to transfer gold across. Clue scrolls were still around when wilderness was there , and for clues you should be willing to take the risk as the reward will always outweigh the risk or you can always 3 item and risk nothing
Free tradeing was also a great thing since players with good marketing tactics could use thoes skills to gain a few profits here and there. Since the removal of free trade , the dueling arena has pretty much died out which is kinda sad because it was packed with duelers of all sorts.
Legendery Pkers like "3 hit u" will also be tempted to rejoin rs along with many of the older players that quit which will boost the runescape economy and will also provide more funds for the game via memberships which inturn will go into making the game even better! i say its a win win ***uation
Increasing P-mod number and giving them like a temp ban (3 days or so ) privilages may help to combat botters/scammers/players behaving in a odd fashion
I say YES to bringing back Free trade/WIlderness! hope we win!!
