I posted this on the FB note created about this topic, but it's relevant here too.
The way I see it, this will break the game more than it ever was before. The Wilderness is now populated with quests, revenants and minigames (oops, sorry, activities). I'd like to know where you all think these will be put if this comesback.
Also, removing the upper and lower limits for the Grand Exchange? That was one of the few things that WORKED 100% for Runescape, and taking away the limits will destroy it!
OK, the PVP and Bounty Worlds weren't a brilliant mechanic, and was open to abuse. But why not just change it so that you get the items that the other person drops, plus a CHANCE of getting an extra item or two, based on your EP? That would work!
But I think that those who want free trade and the Wilderness back have made a major mistake, as this could very well be what kills Runescape. I'm sorry, but it's what I think is true.

It'd be nice to actually have something to fear in the Wilderness again. You never know what to expect from pkers. They've got different styles, different tactics, differents strengths and weaknesses, whilst revenants are all the same. Revs aren't really dangerous. They are boring and annoying, not something to fear imho.
I would also love to see the free trade come back. I can give/receive gifts again. It would also eliminate merchant clan scams (finally!). But it would also make RWT a bit more easy. Jagex says they have better detection methods to combat this, and I believe them. Therefore I've voted 'Yes'.
Sure, bad things might return to RuneScape if this change happens, but games should not focus on the rotten apples in the community, but on the legit players.

My two cents, thanks :)

Let me give you a modest example of this vote :

Next Vote:
"Should we allow Cussing into the game?"
I am sure this would win too!
And I would be against it!
But its just like you asking should we allow the old way of scamming and deciept and hatered back into the game!

Don't ruin what you have done.
I think Runescape is fine the way it is, bringing back free trade and the wilderness is just going to make real world trading and scamming virtually 10000 times easier.
The wilderness is more fun than before.
Free trade will just provoke scammers.
Keep it the way it is...

If you say luring/scamming, well I say PREVENTION!!!!!
You are doing a tutorial for new players, and achievements, right?
Why not a tutorial to how not to get lured/scammed and all the other bad junks? And, as we are to it, a tutorial to how to detect bots and report them? :P
I think we could reinsert the two things that RS community wants the most (FT + wild), we just need to deal with the bad things...
I'm sure that if the points of RWT and all those gets down, everyone will be OK to get 'the good old times' back...

I have a great idea for the Wild if it comes back...Make revs have sence of smell...for every 10 people they smell in the wild send in a powerful Rev I can see pkers running all over the walls lmao

Ok. Well, let me just say, as a person that has been around for 8 years of runescape, that the best time I ever had on here was before the trade limit. The uproar when everything got taken away will overcome anything. Some people voting no don't understand or were too dumb and got scammed or lured. It's simple, DON'T GO SOMEWHERE YOU CAN DIE WITH EXPENSIVE ITEMS..SMH. Hmm. Real world trading. Guess what people, grow up and smell the roses, there will always be reel world trading, except right now it is most dangerous. The way they do it, a friend told me, is the person gets on your account to raise money. Yeah, reel safe. Everyone's making money. Be happy. More bots? I'm pretty sure we've seen an increase in banning them and they have come out with some very human like bots these days. (as I have seen in videos of people getting caught. very funny) So I'm sure, now almost into 2011, Jagex can tell that if 100 lvl 3's are picking flax and being unresponsive (or with any skill) that they are obviously bots and are easily bannable. The economy was amazing before the trade limit. Yes it took a bit of getting used to, and you had to actually make effort to learn a little about prices, but hey guess what, life isn't any easier. Yes it's a game, but come on now, There is no real economy with what there is now, Jagex makes the prices and then players manipulate it. The old wilderness was crazy but this one is worse.. I'd take this wilderness with the bounty hunter with the old drop system. and sure you can throw in a few extra items like they do now :) Get a kill with someone in full rune and claws, get all that and a DFS. Gladly ;] You people really have no idea how bad this version of runescape is until you played, accepted, and appreciated the old one. Because THAT WAS RUNESCAPE. Basically doing what you want, while still abiding by Some rules. And the rules are just basically play nice and don't cheat. Combine this runescape with the old and it will be epic.I promise :)
