I'm a 6 year player, and pre 07 id been scammed at least 6 or 7 small times, like a mith scimmy instead of a rune one. I also had been scammed twice for 750k+, back when i only had about 1M... All times were because i wasnt paying enough attention, this was also the account that got hacked TWICE and all my money was taken and all items dropped (Jagex THANK YOU for getting me my account back quickly both times)... Id been lured a few times, had my progress slowed by bots, pvpd for important items, etc.
Since 07, im a summer only mem, but the DAY jagex reinstates the free trade and wildy, i will be a member full time despite being hacked and scammed, etc. so many times.
Jagex is ready for this to come back, sure some rwts will be back, and so will more bots, but hacking will virtually be gone due to smart player using bank pins, and scamming will drop even if you aren't paying good attention because of the two trade screens and the large blinking exclamation point if anyone changes their offer. Luring is even gone due to the wilderness ditch. Jagex has also made major leaps in new prevention techniques for bots, such as shutting down *rsbot* and detecting any cursor making perfectly straight lines (indicating automators), as well as many more I either haven't read about or haven't heard about.
The old wildy and free trade was taken out due to the large # of rwts and bots, NOT *eacuse people wanted them gone, in fact a large # of mems quit when i happened and Jagex lost quite a bit of money. We didn't get a vote because it NEEDED to happen, but now its almost inevitable its coming back because Jagex is confident in their abilities to deal with the problems, and so am I, Jagex has never given me a reason to doubt them.
Thank You so much Jagex and everyone who voted yes, this is the MOST ive ever looked forward to an update. CANNOT wait until this is in-game. And please will a mod, as soon as you have the date it is coming back, post it on the homepage. Thanks!!!
