I have been playing for a while now so I have been threw both the old wildy and the new one and the trade limit and without. To be honest the wildy was one of my fav things to do I sucked at it but it was so much fun for me and the trade limit took away trying to help out a friends by giving them money or something to help them out. The thing is I also remember being scammed a lot by people and it made me mad. Even though I was mad when I got scammed I was more mad than ever when that stupid rule came out and ruined runescape. Now about the wildy It dont matter they have worlds that are just like that old wildy so I dont care if anything I liked it more so you couldnt die if u wanted to go to green dragons so my opinion...
KILL THE TRADE LIMIT KEEP THE WILDY.
oh and one more idea sometimes in the *.*. I have no idea what to buy so when u enter could it show like random stuff to buy or something?

I started playing in 2001 and I quit after the taking of the wildy and GE updates. The economy is not realistic at all, and merchers rule prices. Kids don't know how to pk and rs as a whole is way too safe for idiots. Back then if you were stupid or a noob, you'd learn early on and it would make you a stronger player. If this goes through, which I hope to god it does, kids are going to have to learn how to play a real mmo, not this, safe limited trade and pk world bs.

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?

I've been an avid fan of the game ever since I first started playing it around 2006/2007. Although some people see Runescape as a simple point and click game, it's more than that. It takes you to a fictional world of riches and wonders, where you can find many people who enjoy either the same real life activities as you, the same Runescape activities, or maybe even both. There will always be someone out there who will want to be your friend.
Would I want Free Trade and the Old Wilderness back? I would enjoy that very much. The Old Wilderness had the thrill of besting an enemy and taking the plunder, or running away from a quick demise. No player who has ever done that cannot deny that it was fun. However, there is that risk factor of scamming, but in my personal opinion, scamming only happens to the uneducated, i.e., those who are unaware of scams. I've made a suggestion to help newer players with this. The Quick Find Code is : 185-186-714-62096581
Free Trade is something I have also missed. Granted I buy most of my armor, runes, and ammunition of the Grand Exchange, that is what it has come down to; it means less player to player interaction.

I vote in favor of bringing the wildy and free trade back!!
I enjoyed Runescape from about 2003 to 2008 If this change happens I can honestly say me and my friends will be back on runescape!

and also one more point. people who pk for fun, not for money, if they are nice they will sometimes give your stuff back. i was pking once long time ago (during old wild and free trade) got owned, the guy realised that i was pking with all that i had (was poor as crap) and he said "look bro, you can have your stuff back, i dont need it" gave me my stuff plus a few 100k.

ABSOLUTELY YES! I was a member of runescape for 4 years, before they removed free trade and the wilderness. i almost immediately quit. Ive attempted to come back and play again it never lasts more than a few moths, because it always felt different. like something was missing. today i logged on and saw this?! so far its a 90% yes! I can't tell you how happy i am, seeing that the old runescape I used to love will likely be returning. My vote is a Full on, unquestioned YES!

First of all, I'm in favour of the whole thing. I'm an old school player and I certainly will enjoy returning to the attitudes that most of us old school players had; that friendly and helpful community attitude. Heck, I remember days when people'd go out of their way to provide some lower level freely with a full set of rune even though rune was worth a ton. They weren't asked to do it.
Those who aren't in favour of the proposal, I respect your views but I don't agree with them. Botting exists, maybe not to the same extent but it still exists. Other forms of rwt still exist, so trade limits really didn't put an end to rwt etc entirely. Jagex will have already figured out what they must do in order to keep rwt and botters under control, otherwise why'd they give us the option to bring free trade and wildy back? So, I don't really see your point. This isn't 4 years ago when Jagex's bot combating wasn't as up to date as it is now. For the record, Jagex did check sites to catch people who were trying to rwt using them when free trade existed and such were removed from the e-commerce sites and banned in game.
If you happened to read the poll thing, you'd have read that clue scrolls will be looked at on an individual basis. So, that could mean they are being moved out of the wildy. If that's not the case, you're being rather silly by saying that clues will be dead. Just be smart and take nothing but a chart, watch, sextant, clue and spade with a ddp out to the wildy. Pray melee, avoid multicombat as best you can. If you get attacked, drop items except clue or ddp. Keep auto retaliate off and don't attack a pker if you're attacked. You'll retain your ddp and your clue, the other items can be got back easily. I and many others had to do that before new wildy, it's easy. If we could do it, so can you.
If you pay attention and check when trading, you won't get scammed. Pre ge, mercher ccs didn't exist. Free trade will kill those manipulator ccs like warfarin drops rats. :P
