yes on old wild and free trade
ok guys lets be real...( coming from a veteran so i might seem harsh)
-seriously all you guys who say you have been "hacked" are huge jokes. how do you get hacked? people who legitimately give off their pass ***** get hacked. no way can a person know your pass ***** out of nowhere.
-Old school Pking was the best part of RS and many people liked it. during the "prime time of Rs" the point of RuneScape is to level up and do quest so you can "dominate" in the wild. The wild should go to the old ways because the "wilderness" is a place of danger. this gave people the fear and a good gaming experience. Just because you were lured and fell for a stupid scam, doesn't mean there shouldn't be a wilderness. And for the "clue scroll fans" out there,how do you think people did level 3 clues in the wild before? use your head...
-RWT was a problem because people bought gold off random sites. i dont see how that is a problem. people buy the gold at there own risk. if you want the cash that bad and don't want to get scammed, don't buy the stupid gold, but instead try merching or skilling...
-Bots were a huge problem, but there will always be bots... you can't stop them all
-for all the players who said they were scammed and don't want free trade back, stop whining! getting scammed was part of the RS experience. i was scammed plenty of times also, but all that did was make me think twice before i hit the "accept button" or did something else.

hmm ok idm if he ment tht but i thought he ment tht even with the majority voting they would still not do it (hence lie to us)
i agree with the post above, even the veterans used to be scammed it was fun and the clues were done by 4 iteming then once looted run bk and see white dots and log like theres no tomorrow, ah how i miss those days :)

Yeah, if there's any lying it's the other direction.
They decided to do it then set up "player input" to show that it was hugely desired, when the evidence pretty clearly shows PKers and people who think the old days of free trading were preferable are certainly not some huge majority.
You MIGHT convince me with the evidence and arguments I've seen here that they constitute a SLIGHT majority, if you include all the dupes that don't understand the issues involved that they've talked into this "good old days" nostaligia stuff, but 90%? Please.
Peddle that to someone more gullible.

ah ty lewis mis-interpretation of words :P thx for clearing it up and surely if it hits half the active accounts voting yes then it should come into effect opposed to having to wait for the last few (for example if 1m people are active and 501k vote yes then why wait for the other 499k?

hmm the the post above my last post yes there was problems however the point that is trying to be made is the game was considered funner by the majority of players because of some of these issues (not the bots/rwt issues) but more the scamming/luring/risk factors. It wasn't so foiled up like it is now and yes some gullible or missled people did fall into these scams but everyone could relate to it :)
do not hate the guy for posting the good sides as that is what the arguement is about you wouldn't post the problems that there is now would you? so i will :)
pvp worlds:
too much inflation due to pure cash being generated
Kill 200m get 20k.
Too many people "trick"

Merchanting related
Merch clans are scamming
Everything is always bought out

altho i will now also analyse the problems with the new update that i believe yourself to fear.
Scammers
Yes they exist now so who cares?

Hackers (note: they only get your account if you fail to take the safety precautions such as changing pass once every 3 months and your recovery questions likeso.)
Lurers
They will return, however this isn't so much of a issue with the warning sign for the wilderness (note: it was made for a reason)
Prices
Yes everything hoarded will crash...im gonna lose half my bank at a guess but im not bothered so i don't see why you would be as it will sort itself out like always.

edit:
90% of people voted yes which by not voting you are basically saying that you are accepting the majority vote, please read what a referendum is and do not flame people for having their opinions or because your decision didn't make the change that you wanted.
Personally i only support the return of no trade limit and there are alot of reasons for this for one i owe my friend alot of favours and i think i'll give him a godsword because he has helped me since i can remember :)
-return the old, keep the new and improve the game-

Runescape devolopers have done a marvelous job of creating a great game full of fun things to do for everyone and the only way to keep this game fun and fair (for everyone) is to take this suggestion and make it happen!
Freedom Of Choice......................

Do the Runescape 2007 like you do Runescape Classic!

Then people will have 3 options..............

1. Rs1 (Classic)
2. Rs2 (2007 Version)
3. Rs3 (The way it is now)

This will satisfy everyone !!!!! (except those that wish to harm people or scam them)

If you click on my name you can easily pull up all my previous posts on this topic. All of what you said in your last post is addressed in them. I know nobody really wants to subject themselves to that though...
I'll just say I agree that a lot of people don't consider the current PVP rules adequate for them to enjoy PKing. I say more power to people that want to advocate the mechanics of PVP worlds be changed back to the old system. Just keep it to themselves in places that only willing combatants go. I've felt sorry for them for all these strange points and timers and drop tables. I really, for all that I rag on PKers here don't begrudge them a way to kill someone for their stuff. Honestly. I just don't care to be annoyed by them trying to kill me while I'm going about my business when it REQUIRES me to enter the wildy.
