I personally cannot wait till free trade comes back, it was really great and around that time we had atleast 200-220k players online, I'm hoping this new update will bring more players to come and play and enjoy a more better gaming experience.

Easy way around that then; ban all accounts created by that person. IP addresses can change but good luck to botters changing MAC addresses. That could be used to identify all accounts created by botters and effectively ban them all, causing them to lose everything too. Do you really think a botter is gonna go and buy a new computer everytime they get banned via MAC address just so they can get around a MAC address ban? They'd be wasting well over the money they earn rwting since they'd be getting their accounts banned everyday. Do you seriously think a person will go, "Hmm...time to cough out another £300" every time they get banned (which will be very regularly)? =P I'm not saying Jagex will MAC address ban but if they were going to MAC ban and then ban all assosciated accounts created with that MAC address, it could work. They could even ban the LAN/WAN MAC address for the building where the computer is located and good fight botting from any computers or laptops in that building. Same applies, they could identify all accounts created by that user and ban them all from that information also. That pretty much will have the router that was used to create the accounts banned. Do you really think botters would fork out more money to buy a new router everytime they get banned (which would be very frequently) just to get round a ban every few days?
Who knows what Jagex has up their sleeve to combat botters? Only way to find out is to wait and see. ;*

I´ll say it as it is: THE OLD WILDERNESS SUCKS! The big disadvantage of the old wildy, is that when you kill a person (with a skull over his head), you will only get exactely what your opponent was carrying on himself, and in his inventory. For example: If your opponent was carrying a total of 11k worth of items, then you will get 11k when you kill him. If your opponent was carrying a rune scimitar when you killed him, then you will get a rune scimitar as loot!All of the food, arrows, runes etc. that you used to kill your opponent, was all wasted! This is a huge problem, especially for low level pk-ers. All of those who pk, wants to make money on it. This cannot be done in the old wildy, but it can be done in the new wildy(bounty worlds)! Because in the new wildy, even level 20 pk-ers may get a 1 mil loot when they kill their opponents. Even if their opponents weren´t carrying more than 11k in total. This is the difference that makes the new wildy so much more better than the old wildy. Not only for low levels, but also for higher levels. The keep-one-item-worlds makes it possible for players to keep their most beloved item when they die. Items like godswords and dragon claws are item that people want to use when they pk. The old wildy doesn´t have such a thing as keep-one-item-when-you-die-worlds. If you want to keep an item on death in the old wildy, you have to get a prayer level of 25, wich is a waste of combat levels for pures, including myself. The old wildy is just a waste of a player´s money!
I hope you realize how big this problem is, Jagex.
I don´t mind about the old trading method, but for the sake of the players of runescape:
DON´T BRING BACK THE OLD WILDERNESS!!!!!

YES, I miss having the old wilderness and free trade, but I do NOT miss competing for a yew tree with 3 dozen bots or watching an army of them march back and forth from the bank to the aubury to get more pure essence.
While its nice to change and open the game the growing smaller community will not accecpt this and quality pures, non-botters, will fall the the waste.
Welcome gold sellers and botters!!!
You put us through these changes two years ago, and now you're going to do it again in reverse?!
Good luck O_o
