i totally agree with I r
i got scammed- the trick of swsapping magic logs (noted) with willow lowgs (noted)
at the time, they were identicle..and i pressed accept on both windows quickly whithout noticing. and only a little while later did i notice
i learned from that very quickly. Not only a game skill, but a real life skill- patience and ALWAYS double check. also... if it looks too good to be true, the chances are : it is.
When i started runescape, you started with 25gp and had to find everything yourself. Sure, it took a bit of effort to get going, but that added to the challenge and make it even more fun.
Now, new players are expected to be shown how to do everything, which in my opinion, ruins the game- it means the player is just in the backseat, being driven by the instructions, rather than doing it themselves.
sure, luring, scamming etc will come back- which in a way i think is good. It means its more like real-life. Not everyone is happy friendly bunnies, we have to watch out. I have never broken any rules but i didn't see a problem with other people wasting their money buying rs gold with real money. Sure, there were botters who went to arbury in varrock and bought all the death and chaos runes, which was a pain for low level pkers (or non-members) but we now have infinity stores of them (unless they have been removed, havn't checked in a while). So, that isn;t a problem. And to the yew botters- ok, maybe a pain... but you compete with real players now instead of botters.
which reminds me of the yew long bow trade.
yew logs were cheap enough to buy them and flax, fletch them and be able to high alch them for a profit. To me, that was a wonderful age of runescape. I would very much like to see the return of that.
ok, so i hae noticed aswell- the votes are always 90/8/2 which i thought was dodgy...i don't know how many people are really voting for that and we have to take their word on it.

Hi read this i've pretty much summed up the vote
but let me break down the vote also.
90% - 89% non idiotic people (although always some <****; ;) , 1% want RWT back. RWT is still hear this minute there are still thousands of bots running around except this time, it became more personal and less recognizable. People pay botters or gold farmers (TWC Players) to log on their accounts and get money even faster than the farmers of the day (Yew cutters, flax...) so RWT wasn't reduced, just forced the sites to warp how they RWT to include personal details and risk account losses (Win?).
8% -7% Dumb noobs who got scammed. Let's face it, the game has become sooo much idiot proof over these last years. Jagex have spoon fed information to try and prevent people from dying, losing there money/items. Scamming, and merchanting (properly) was a good way to "toughen" up players, if you got scammed you quit or learned from it, If you sold items for too little you became more careful and researched in future. Pretty much a harsh but simple way to filter out NOOBS from the game.
2% - Troll Physics...
:D :D :D :D :D :D

Lol nice.... Jagex needs to learn the term "Tough Love" for its players, you can't spoon feed the players their whole life, you gotta let them feed themselves, & if they dont they will get hunry & find some food... hehe ^_^

I personally would love to see the free trade back in runescape however i do not like the idea of the old wildy back, if they do bring it back i think it should only be on certain worlds. There are many players (like myself) who still want to explore the wilderness without being "rushed" or made into an ice cube...

S4M take this from an experienced player/pk. I trained agility in the wildy, did clues, killed monsters deep in the wilderness. I've died more times from rev's than players before 2007. If wildy is on everyworld also, all you need to do is find a fairly empty world. Most worlds now have a minimum of 200 players there will be 10 people in the wildy tops with a number like that some being noobs or not pking :D
