As some have posted I also have mixed feelings about this. I really feel that if this is a vote you intend to use in your decision it should be done fairly.
The vote is only to bring back wildy and free trade together. There should be an option to vote each seperately as well as provide a vote for those who wish *o see neither of them return.
I have a feeling that some people will not read all the fine print and will unwittingly press 'vote now' expecting to see another page with options. We're used to that from the polls section, we expect to see options. Give us a 'yes' and 'no' at least on the page if nothing more.
Anyway how I personally feel about this doesn't change the fact that your company wants to do what it feels is wanted by the majority of its players. The problem is I am not sure you will be getting an accurate picture of that with the current system you gave us to vote.

Sigh, I feel you're going downhill again, I mean, it's just an opinion, but you've been going on fine, people got over the loss and many carried on playing.
Bringing it back, the games going to get more agressive and the scams, of the scams of free trade :/
Sorry, I vote no :P
Even though I accidentaly voted yes on the site >****;

i think you should redo the vote, and when you click "vote now!" it gives you options yes AND no. because i just hit vote now, and i wanted to say no, but it instantly registered me as a voter
please redo it, or at least remove my vote!

No.
I don't believe your systems and detection can anywhere near compensate for the damage control that limited trade has brought.
While it is not ideal, it is better than the alternative. And I actually like the easy sale ability of the G.E. Who is going to meet me to buy 2 emeralds? But I can sell on the G.E. immediately.
And the vote setup is flawed. You are only asking for positive votes and relying on silence as your objection.
The website does not really do much to make that clear. Not until I'd actually voted (as a positive) is it clear that you aren't given the chance to vote for leaving it as is.
Not that is matters. There is *NO* check that the account being entered is really the person who owns the account. I could go straight down the highscores and vote them all. Even if it goes by log in name, I'm sure there is enough who didn't change a name that you could get extra votes. Not to mention second, third and other multiple legitimate accounts.
Bad idea, worse implementation.
Horrible Jagex. Really.
Big fat thumbs down.

Sorry Jagex but people are clicking the link expecting to be allowed to Vote NO.

But instead find themselves voting Yes.

Just saying "boycott this vote" in the news article is not is not sufficent to make this vote vaild.
The current voting system is totally flawed.

Please reset with a visable option to vote NO or Yes on the Homepage not buried somewhere.
