As a veteran (2001), I can safely say that the essence of Runescape has always been, and as long as I continue playing, will always be PKing. Back in 2007 and even further back, getting scammed wasn't because of the no trade limits or the fact that you can attack nature runners or dragon killers. It was always because you weren't cautious. If you have lol123 as a pass on your character and you get hacked, it's YOUR fault. If you run out in wild with your bank, despite several warnings about the dangers and die, it's YOUR fault. The rules about safety applied in the real world should also apply on Runescape. It's very simple, some might even call it common sense.
This is what most of us dreamed of for 3 years. A Runescape without trade limitations and a free wilderness.
It's ridiculous how many good people have quit since 2007. Both enemies and friends. The random drop system has it's pros and cons but it's just not the same. killing people for 20m+ and receiving 300k after skillfully risking your own wealth, it's not fair game.
A word about the autoers.
Yes, they were a pain in the butt when they hogged all the Yew trees or mined all the coal. But what most of you fail to see is that they supplied us with resources. Supply vs Demand. Basic economy one on one. prices skyrocketed BECAUSE botters were fought and beaten. Instead people bot their other characters. Bots while pking (seen it with my own eyes), they bot this and that. Have a look at Avensies in god wars. 80% are infact botting. You can tell by movement patterns etc.
The economy WILL crash if/when the changes are reinstated but beleive me, it WILL stabilize. Infact, it will be even better than GE when a single clan can't make item prices go through the roof in a matter of days.
It's pretty obvious what I voted now. I say resintate old wild without limitations, bring back the bone yard and the spots we loved. lift the trade limits and reinstate old duel.
Bring Runescape Back!
