@Raiden20050, how that helps the economy is beyond me. When you increase supply, you lower demand and price, thereby hurting the economy, that's the law of supply and demand. That's how the bots killed the prices of wood, ore, fish, etc. the list goes on. Bots have never in any way helped the economy and in fact as Jagex stated 3 years ago, were accounts "paid" by stolen credit cards and the like.
I just hope Jagex, in their wisdom, are ready to handle the issues that these 2 changes will bring on.

when the update comes depens:
scenarios:
1. the poll was ideot, or JAGEX guessed the outcome. it comes soon, just get the codes in.
2. the poll was real, or JAGEX didn't guess the outcome. they got to program everything and even if you already got main lines from 2007 that's a hell of a job. that could take months.

Look whiteboii,
Do you feel some need to replace Fate now that he's quiet? You start ripping on someone then when they totally expose your flawed thinking all you can say is essentially "OMG shut up noob?" We've managed to get along on this thread having a for the most part civil debate til a few of you recent arrivals suddenly want to have a flamefest and you want to dish it out and not have to take it.
I thought you were done reading me anyway. Why not just go back to repeating the same arguments in favor that have been made for several hundred pages, and I'll do the same for the other side til I can't take the childishness and rudeness of the supporters anymore and stop reading and posting since we both know this is going to happen whatever we say anyway? You'll notice I'm not paying attention to my stylistic errors anymore, since I was only being careful while pointing out someone in a glass house throwing stones.

Hello all,
My idea is that bringing back free trade and the wilderness will revert the game back to its old days, where everyone used to haggle for their goods, whether it be buying or selling. This will inturn bring back the old art of earning money through trading with others - merchanting. I support this idea as Grand Exchange merchanting is beyond me and I believe that standing in the same place for hours whilst pressing 1-2 buttons and earning a mass amount of money is somewhat unfair, and I believe every play must be able to use their best abilities to obtain gold and items, whether it be a skill and or merchanting through free trade.
Like many others, however, there is the thought of the occurence of RWT'ing as free trade will allow any items to be traded with no restrictions, making Real World Trading very easy again. Hopefully Jagex can battle this mass of RWT'ing that will occur if the update is implemented. It is said that those that are more prosperous in real life will be able to RWT'd large masses of money for in-game currency and therefore buy any item they so please, putting them ahead, and of course other players behind. Not everyone has this benefit, and so Jagex should be able to challenge those that will initially do this.
I believe that the economy will somehow go all over the place, in regards to item prices dropping and/or raising, like what can be seen now in game - armour prices are falling rapidly. This will benefit those with a mass of gold, but not those that benefit mainly on items, such as those that are worth a hefty sum, this includes weapons - godswords etc.
On the other hand, I forgot to mention that I am FOR this update, however I believe that Jagex will need to think carefully about what consequences the update may bring if they implement it - the thought of RWT'ing, mass of botters etc.
Just my two cents.

Since free trade has been gone it has made me mad because a lot of my friends used to help me out most of them are members so it was nice i would also like to help the younger players and i cannot do so it would be a great advantage to have it back...as for the wildy i think that it should stay the same thats what pvp worlds are for but free trade should definitely come back! :P

Why is every one thinking of the negatives. The list of positives outweighs the negatives. Also it gives a list of what will happen on the voting page so why are people going "what will happen the the G.E?" ITS ON THE WEBSITE!!!
Fea_r m3 has spoken! P.S I think this is a great idea. :D P.P.S Maybe Jagex could put the old wildy on some worlds and for people who dont want to go pking (rune ore hunters) could log on to safer worlds with no pvp wildy :D
