You do realize your reasoning against this proposal is just as flawed as any other?
You claim an increase of botting, a common reason, but a very ill-thought about one. Botting is an issue that never died, it's still just as prevalent as it ever was in the past. The only difference is between the bots of today and those of yesterday? The look, they're not the generic looking characters suicide botting for gold farmers. Botters have developed their programs, techniques and what-have-you to avoid detection. They're just as prevalent today as every before, again.
An increase in merchanting? That's ridiculous. Merchanting is very legal and very much present. There only difference is merchanting clans will no longer exist to manipulate the prices of the Grand Exchange. In fact, that's a positive change all around. Those giant manipulating clans will no longer cost the average player millions with their constant price manipulation.
Credit card hacking? Although not quite the right way to put it, still very much a real-threat. One which is handled. Certain players will still continue to rip their parents credit cards off for membership and gold. That never changed. Players have found ways to Real World Trade, easily even through the limits.
Again, Real World Trading? Still prevalent. Players buy and sell accounts **** their trained accounts and some players farm via botting and sell those. This never decreased. Players buy and sell gold/items as well, they've found ways to transfer gold quickly.
Your reasoning is far too flawed to vote yes or no. You should think about all that has truly changed and all that has only changed on the outside. Everyone Jagex tried changing still exists on a daily basis, simply with a new face.
Now I ask, if all these things are still just as prevalent as before then why use them to say no to an action which could potentially bring back a large portion of your community? Vote yes, bring our real community back.
