What will we do without the GE telling us how much we should pay for something...... Come on people. Before the GE we did research we looked in the forums we discussed with seasoned players and we did our best we made friends we found regular buyers and sellers. Some of us over paid and felt really dumb about it but we learned the base value of an Item and adjusted our decisions to pay or not based on our need of the Item. The market will control itself. Sure there might be a wave or two for a while but if the sellers mark their products too high they wont sell quickly they will then adjust their prices lower to unload what they have. the buyers will now have a better chance of competition in the market meaning lower prices for common items.
This change was made to protect us from bots and gold farmers. If Jagex can control that now and prevent the old scams then I say Yes.
As to the concerns of the wild be it another player or a Rev the dangers are still there. We didn't have many clue scrolls that took us to the wild but when we did we stocked up on the necessities we stocked up on food and we ran like the wind we got our item/next clue and we hightailed it back to the "safe" zone. The old wild had a rule unwritten which was don't take anything out there you weren't willing to lose. I'd like to see Jagex start up a forum for players not based on LVL's but instead based on date account was created then there could be a better filter for these comments if you weren't around before you don't really know what this could mean but there are plenty of players who have been around for years.

I honestly think Jagex should not bring back Free trades. My Reasons being because it is going to cause inflation's and fluctuations due to the arrival of botters, goldfarmers and RWT. Runescape already faces many other problems due to people continuing to bot even with trade limits, Botting to 99, auto-typing and many more. If Jagex were to bring back the trade limits they are going to face many difficulties, not to mention spending more of their time and money trying to crack down botters, gold farmers, etc. furthermore the Runescape economy will be in terrible shape due to the mass amount of cheaters and such. I advise you do not take a big step and inviting Free trades back or the consequences are going to get worse, Yes i already know people will continue to bot with or without trade limits but as soon as you bring back the trade limit, its not going to be about having fun and getting together doing quests or playing mini-games, it is mainly going to be more about who the Richest or strongest people are thanks to RWTs, Botters and Goldfarmers. As for the wildy, i also think it should not comeback aswell because the people can easily get suckered into going into the wildy and losing all their stuff. Aswell as those combat botters who have the better chance of pking everyone there. Now the decision is up to you guys, im just suggesting why it should not come back however in the end, I trust you will make the correct decision. ;)

I would dude but green drags are a good way for the people who don't have all the time in the world to lvl up in a skill. Green drags are also one of the best combat money makers out there. Gain combat skill exp and great cash at the same time.

Absolutely spectacular, though I do hope there will be a few worlds without the old wildy. I will warmly welcome both of them back. =) Maybe Jagex could even bring back tradeable holiday items. My skeleton suit is probably worth a Bill by now =D that would be sick!

To those concerned about people getting lured into the wilderness:
With the addition of the ditch and the warning messages, you know EXACTLY what's going to happen. You know the risks when you cross the ditch because it tells you exactly what's past it. You know the risks when you pull the lever in Ardougne because it tells you exactly what they are. Jumping into the whirlpool with brutal green dragons is extremely dangerous (you could get killed instantly), why aren't people complaining about luring down there? The warning messages are disclaimers that if you continue, the liability is on you. You have to choose to turn those messages off, and you can only turn them off after you pass the message a few times, so it's not like you can trick people into turning them off before they go in there.
As for scamming concerns:
The addition of the flashing red exclamation mark and the improvements to the trade and confirmation windows make your trade very clear. If someone "clicks too fast" and doesn't read the windows, they probably don't care about their money because they didn't take the time to carefully examine the trade, even though they were told to.
As for bots/RWT/etc:
These are already present in the game; they aren't going to leave either way, so live with it.

I think I remember Jagex saying this was NEVER coming back? Maybe instead of asking if we want free trading and wilderness pking back, ask us if we want spammers and scammers back because that's all we're going to get out of this...
