I have been around runescape since about 2003, and I have experienced a lot of the "normal" wilderness. It is much more fun to have a player attack me than a stupid rev. And as far as trade limits go... I think they should be gone as well.
I vote YES to bringing back free trade and the old wildy.

I try to be impartial when commenting on such a heated debate, as i know my view will differ from other people.
Although i was never a fan of the wilderness, i know many were, and in light of that fact, i think the powers that be should take into account ALL players feelings.
On the issue of free trading, some welcome it, others see a disaster , with bots, scamming etc, but there are other solutions to make it fair and fun for everyone. examples like 1) only free trading between friends of more than 1 yr
2) raised trade lvls amongst friends but no free trading
3) a cap on what can be traded for free
The Wilderness -
1) restrict the wilderness to certain world as with pvp
2) remove multi combat from pk worlds, allowing a more fair fight
3) tweak the game for skillers, so that things like runecrafting, clues, penguins etc are brought away from the wilds and into a "safe" zone.
Some will agree with these comments, some wont, but as a paying member i feel there can be some common ground reached if all comments are listened to.
My final comment is this - Why wasnt an inbox message or survey sent out ? allowing all people to give ideas about how this issue could be resolved to suit all ?
A simple yes or no vote very much lacks conviction and to be honest, something in the middle would be far more benifiscial to all players.
As real life, you can never please all the people, all of the time, but at least a more open forum allowing ideas from all players would certainly benefit.

When the wilderness was taken away, part of runescape was also taken. Scamming was almost like a part of the game, but I honestly didn't mind seeing as they were extremely easy to avoid after a while. And even if someone got me, I wouldn't care seeing as this is just a game, I would just say, "dang it, good one" then report the guy and move on. Like honestly, its just a game.
Like understandably when the wilderness was removed it was for a reason, but think of how many people instantly decided to stop playing. The real wilderness brought about a certain danger to the game, that you have to be somewhat on your toes. It's not exciting never having to watch your back at all. Ever since the wilderness was removed the game wasn't as exciting or badass (excuse my language i didn't really have a better word).
Also, who cares if there are bots out there? Jagex will take care of it, but honestly if there is someone using a program to cut down a few trees for them, I don't care because there's no effect that has on me. If it really bothers you that someone cheats at a game that much, then go play a game that someone can't cheat in. It doesn't hurt me in any way that these people are doing this, so why should I bother to complain about it? It really does not matter at all.
So let's be serious here, nothing is perfect. But when the wilderness and free trade were around there were so many people who loved the game and it brought about a diverse set of players. Bringing the"old runescape" back would change the game for the better. It was so much better before, and now that they have their methods of fighting botters, why would you seriously be bothered if they brought it back? Clue scrolls are just that much more rewarding, and if you don't want to pk or get lured, then just stay away from it it's really that simple..

Since I started this game about 7 or 8 years ago a lot has changed. Some of these changes are good and some are bad. I believe that the free trade was a great way for friends to help friends out who needed it. I think free trade could be edited, such as keeping the value of an item listed on the trade screen. I also believe preventing people from quick trading and removing items like before is great. I also believe the Grand Exchange is amazing!!! I cannot insist this enough. I dreaded the time I spent spamming what I was trading. I believe free trade and the GE can be incorporated together and work wonders and still make new and old players happy. Like I said I miss the old wilderness. I quit for a while when you removed it and have not returned to the wilderness since. It takes much of the excitement out of going to the wilderness if you are always safe. I wish when you kill someone in the wildy, all of their items dropped for you to grab except for their best three which they keep unless skulled!
Overall great game and your making it better!!

This is great news!!! I've waited so long for this again wildy and haveing free trade. I think you guys should have more of these on other topics people have loved or once loved to do on runescape.
There are two things i would love to see back into runescape
1: Having pest control with no shields again:
It was when i enjoied Pest Control alot i miss it and it takes so much longer to win now.
2. Runescape 2 Server (2004-2006)
Most of all i would love one of these servers these were the best times of runescape hands down. Like you did to runescape classic, I would love to see this optional to players you'd be suprised how many would try it again.
I can't wait for the old wildy and trade to **me back great move jagex!!! ;)
