My vote, opinion, and strong-suggestion is "yes". I believe those who are voting "no" are fixated on the botting, scamming, real-world-trading, hacking, and luring scare and if this is so? I have a few words:
There will be no increase in scamming, only a change in technique. Scamming still exists just not usually on a person to person level. A massive clan manipulating the prices of an item for their personal gain while leaving others unable to sell their expensive item? Think about those on the down-side, they're losing their bank do to selfish manipulation.
Real-world-trading? If you think this as abolished back when they took out free trade and all the first time? You're kidding yourself. People still buy and sell items, accounts, and gold on a daily basis. Players have figured out ways to transfer gold at alarming rates. This won't see an increase either.
Hacking will see no increase, it's a daily occurrence. People still have managed to find a way to transfer money at alarming rates even with trade-limits and if they're not in it for personal gain? They simply drop it. Hacking is already a big issue and also will not see an increase.
Luring won't see an increase either, it's still very much a real-deal. Clans lure in PvP all the time. It's a mere tactic now, people simply don't see anything wrong with it do to the fact they're not luring for rares anymore.
All the "bad-apples" that come along with re-introducing the Free Trade and Old Wilderness are just that, a few bad apples. They're still just as prevalent with or without the re-introduction and honestly shouldn't play too-big a role in decision making. If that plays no-hold due to the fact it's already here and won't show much a change? What left is there to say "no" about?
