Personally I feel there should be options that split up free trade and wildy votes. I know a few people that want free trade again for giving friends gifts for Christmas or helping lower level players out by just being nice and giving some cash but don't really want (or care) about the wildy. I think if both are brought back there should be designated worlds with an open wildy (as with the pvp worlds) and worlds set up like they are now. With some of the clues that need to be done in wildy the mass of pkers camping will make them alot more difficult than the task of the clue itself. I remember on a number of occasion having to do the wildy dig at the demonic ruins but having to wait until the odd hours of the night to do the dig because pkers would camp the spot and as soon as you got there they'd start attacking (though some would be nice enough to let you kill the wiz and dig before they attacked). Some people say "just take food" or "take better gear" when doing clues but fact of the matter is, if you're one person on a clue and need to go to wildy, you're not going to stand a chance if a group of career pkers decides to attack you unless you start hiring groups of guards or something rediculous? When I'm doing clues I don't wear high def gear, it's a balance of lightweight to run and decent def against the wizards, but won't do any good against a claw rush or barrager etc. One suggestion is if wildy is in all worlds, make a timed safety. Set it up so you can go out for a clue in 'safe mode' to where you can't be attacked by pkers or something. It could be set up with something like a 5 min. wait period to be turned off/on so that a pker can't sit in safe mode then pop it off to attack someone then turn it back on to grab the loot. That way it could separate the people out there so the pkers can do their pking and what they're there for and others can too because come on, ppl on clues have 200k on them max, not really a pk just an annoying cheap shot. My $.02

Here we go. Although I don't remember too much about my '07 days (not this account), I do remember the Runescape community being very giving and helpful to me. Today, I see nothing like that in the players.Maybe the trade and wilderness will bring back those "good times", maybe brighten up the community, help young players out with the trade and such.

Just my opinion on this matter
I have been a player since early 2005 I have also seen the GE & wildy update come.
Gaming before the update was a fun game to play, I got ripped off multiple times while trading items,killed & robbed in wildy countless times & my heart was racing every time.
I had mixed emotions all the time while playing the old runescape, from happiness,fits of laughter,sadness & also at times anger.whitch made for great game play. Since the update I have very rarely experienced these kinds of emotions and feelings from the new updated runescape. When the update was released, I started to loose interest in the game, then stopped my membership because I found I was playing runescape less & less.
Lets face it in real life we get ripped off on a daily basis,every time someone buys a car off a car salesman,or someone goes down to the local store to buy something,we all know that they are selling there items at marked up prices to make money! they wouldn’t be doing it if they weren’t. Just like free trade on runescape if you want that item bad enough, you will pay the price that someone is asking for it & vice verse if you want to get rid of an item fast you will sell it for ½ what its worth if nobody wants it.
Runescape is just a game people! If someone rips you off 200k,why have a hissy fit,jump up & down about it,then report them?i never understood that. But If a revnant kills you in the wildy and you loose 1mill in items does that make it OK because its not a real life player?get over it!
People, Jagex is a company out to make a profit,& just like every other company in the world, they have to hire staff,pay bills & make decisions to make that profit.
If Jagex brings back free trade & the old wild,I will be paying my membership fees every month again & get back to enjoying the old runescape that I have missed.
;)

So, oobywoobysnoogywoogums, the Fmods are all dumb because they didn't know that Jagex would change what they were calling the first "poll" after the fact to a "petition."
What you noticed is what I noticed, we just interpret it differently because we're on different sides: Almost to a person the Fmods on this thread have been against the reversion. There are many ways one can evaluate the difference in their posts and supporters'. [Please note I have ZERO interest in ever becoming any kind of mod, and I don't DO sucking up, even IRL.] To me, their posts are well written, intelligent and mature and come from a class of people Jagex felt were more trustworthy than the other, what? 95% of players when they made them mods.
Allow me to enlighten you.
If you go down to the supermarket and sign a real petition there are, I believe, criminal penalties for things like making up names, signing other people's names or signing multiple times. The signature gatherers are incented to cheat because they get paid per signature, which is why the signatures are audited. You might even have to certify you are entitled to sign it; not sure, I don't sign petitions.
The point is they called it a poll. It wasn't a poll; they do polls all the time and they look nothing like this one. They decided to rename it after the fact a petition, and even real petitions don't allow you to sign for others, or have twenty babies so they can sign it. They could have taken very obvious steps to reduce cheating whatever they chose to call the "player input device." They did not.
You are now free to return to your fantasy that this was a fair poll/petition.

THERE ARE ALREADY 1.2M PEOPLE WANTING WILD AND FREE TRADE BAK AS U GUYS HAVE METIONED. THERE ARE ACTULLY MORE BECAUSE ALOT OF PEOPLE (LIKE ME) QUITTED RUNESCAPE LATER AFTER THE 2007 UPDATE DUE TO THE REMOVAL OF FREE TRADE + OLD WILDY, MY FRIEND TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A CHANCE OF BRINGING IT BACK, AND THATS WHY I TYPED ON THE RUNESCAPE SITE ONCE AGAIN JUST TO VOTE YES! ITS SO OBVIOUS THAT THE PEOPLE WHO WANTED YES MORE THEN NO! SO LETS NOT WASTE ANYMORE TIME AND LET RUNESCAPE TO REBORN. SEE THE REASON OF WHY THE WORLD OF WARCRAFT IS THE NUMBER ONE RPG IN THE WORLD, DO YOU THINK IT WILL REMIAN AT TOP IF THEY BLIZZARD ADD A "TRADE LIMIT..." HAHAHHA! RUNESCAPE BRING THE FREE TRADE AND WILDY BACK AND DO NOT WASTE ALL THOSE WHO ACTULLY ONCE SPEND THEIR TIME PLAYING RUNESCAPE BEFORE THE STUPID UPDATE! I HAVE MADE MY MESSAGE, ITS ALL YOURS NOW JAGEX!

LOVE LOVE LOVE. To see the Wildy And FREE TRADE LIMITS BACK.
HATE ! to see Bots Return, Altho they still exist, but in dwindling numbers. ONE thing. it would be nice to see the G/E Prices stay. as there is a certian price value of items. maybe put in something like
' Warning This item is worth XXX Less than you are about to pay for it ! '
or more w/e.
that way newer players can prevent themselves from being scammed, and people who want to sell things for less can do so carelessly
As for the wilderness. it would be incredible to have the old loving wilderness back.
but like ive read from another post. its going to be quite tough to do clues with players scowering the wilderness for other people to murk.
while that might cut down on the wealth/poorness of some players. for those who have little to nothing and find themselves scowering the wilderness for a clue scroll location, and possibly loosing something valuable or wasting time doing all those clue parts, just to have the last one torn away by some random pker for nothing.
so my advice. maybe if a player does over 1/2 damage to another player in any world. he/she does not get a gravestone. But! ... if a player in the wilderness is attacked either by a revenuer or a monster. he or she should get a gravestone.
not including if two players are duking it out and a rev comes up and owns the last bit of hp one player has.. that would be a No Gravestone Deal. scince the other player did over 1/2 damage, only to be assisted by a rev.
maybe make it so revs cant attack those who are already in combat. giving the losing player something to look forward to.
' i died! but hey that rev may just avenge my untimely death ! '

just throwing some ideas into the mix, if any of mine are used id sure love that all shiny, all incredible Player Mod status ^.^
Im good to everyone i meet in the game and on the forums.
i dont swear or use foul language.
never been black marked.
and i pay for my membs.
wbs jagex! i await.
