wow.... ok to those of you who are complaining about priceing going to be unstable, are you that dumb? have you ever looked at the grand exchange database? example:the saradomin sword is 6 mil!!!! 3 weeks ago it was 11!!! back in old days prices where always stable... you guys think 1 guy geting scammed ment that the whole economy crashed, it didnt work like that scamming was someone wanted mage logs and would pay 1k ea, so the kid would have 1k mage logs and 1k willow bc they looked the same, at last minute the kid would take out maples and put in willow, so the kid paid 1mil for 1k willows....

and to those of you complaining about what is in the wildy and all, deal with it i did kbd and chaos running in old days, and nat running, it isnt like every world(we have 170 somthing mind you) have a pker waiting for you...
and jagex didnt get rid of wildy to let little noobs be able to use it, they did it bc it was a form of uncontrolled trade...
lmao if jagex doesnt bring it back after 90% tht is 500,000 players of the 600,000 tht voted, then those 500,000 will quite period bc that meens that jagex does not listen...

Clues were going a long time before the wilderness was gotten rid of. The good times were when you ran the risk of getting pked whilst doing a clue instead of a silly rev, old timers will probably rememeber this.
If you actually read the vote page, it says what your voting for. So if you wasn't paying attention then its your own fault.
Secondly there is now a second poll that has 3 options on it including the NO option , so you should build a bridge and drag yourself across it.
Prices will never be stable regardless of the price limit. They fluctuate due to the demand for the item . Also merchents can still manipulate prices just as easily as they can without the limit.
Hope the wild/free trade comes back , will make the game a bit more interesting again.

SmithinDrag0 (from page 677),
I doubt most of the "Yes" votes are for free trade and not the old wildy. Just the reverse.
Mind you, I voted "Yes" myself mainly for free trade, not for the old wildy.
However, the old wildy was hugely popular, and most of the 90% is probably from people who want it back. Just read the posts.
Also, though Jagex could have split the vote into two, one of your four options simply wouldn't work:
You cannot have the old wildy without free trade.
The old wildy makes free trade possible simply by killing another player who has what you want. Without free trade in the regular game, players would have to go into the wildy to make their unbalanced trades. That would cause utter chaos in the game.
So there could be free trade without the old wildy, but there could not be the old wildy without free trade.
Also, though I voted yes primarily for free trade, I also think that all the players who enjoy the old wildy should be able to have their enjoyment--even if it doesn't happen to be *my* cup of tea.

i agree that the polls should be redone, and we have 4 options: yes wildy or no, yes trade or no. If free trade comes anyway, make it so that true free trade be available only on new worlds which require 1000+ ttl lvls with no QP's, and maybe 500+ total lvl with 100QP's? And for worlds with no entry requirements, make limited free trade on those worlds, with a cap of 1mil gain per week, when u reach ur cap u cant gain more money until a week has passed. This is to prevent RWT. Also GE price caps must stay but those caps can be relaxed more, lets say a cap of an item is 500gp, we can increase the cap to maybe 5-10% more, up to 550gp? Also the 4hr GE limit has to stay too, and price caps shouldnt be removed to prevent abuse. Fixed items like spirit shards should remain unchanged though, we dont want merchers to make shards 30gp ea! Regarding limited free trade, treat it as a super relaxed current trade limit system. Actually old wildy and free trade is not dependent on each other if we put a loot value gain limit per kill, maybe based on QP's? We should try to make wildy work without free trade and vice versa, let these 2 run independently while making it hard for RWT to occur. Maybe jagex should make it that if someone was carrying coins and spirit shards to RWT with someone, these items will not show up? Or make items with high value not a 100% drop from a succesfull kill? Make it that all high value items worth more than 5 mil only have a 70-80% chance of appearing? RWT'ers are having to take big risks then. Maybe reduce it to 2 million. Then RWT'ers will not want to risk the 20-30% chance of items worth more than 2mil not appearing, as it can cause serious damage to their business.

I completely agree with this update... If the wildy and free trade come back I will start to play again. There was nothing like old runescape and alot of you new players don't understand that. And if your against it because you have some bad memory of getting scammed back in the day well then get over it! Yes it happens, even in todays runescape you see people getting phished for ip's and all sorts of crazy nonsense. The fact is were getting a second shot to bring Runescape back, so for all you people who are against it please reconsider..

Can people stop talking about 'getting scammed in free trade'... This isn't a place to express my anger but only dumb idiots are foolish enough not to read the second trade window. Why does the second trade window even exist? It's to avoid scamming and see your offer and your deal. People don't use it properly. It's just disgraceful.

g.e should be removed its awful nothing better than world 2 shopping, was just pure class... 90% of people want it back im expecting it back very soon maybe even new year, people who cry about getting lured, scammed shoudlnt even be playing, its not rocket science to no, its stupid... and for drag trainers, there are noobs that try to kill them for what an anti drag shield lol. However you cant moan because people who pk for real just elimate them straight away. No good pker will waste items on drag trainers. There is no point.
The players should determine the market not jagex... it should be the people who are selling the items e.g world 2 was the world for the trades and mainly world 18 for good pkers, if u drag train on world 18 you wernt going to get far, a quiet world was much better....
i hope for once jagex listen to what 90% of its players want.
ALSO GET RID OF THIS STUPID X100 HP BAR ITS JUST NOT THE SAME
