Wilderness and Free Trade Vote

Ignoring for a moment that treasure trail locations will be relocated so as to accommodate those doing clue scrolls, RuneScape existed perfectly fine in equilibrium before the 2007 changes:
Clue scrolls were around for years; few problems ailed those doing them in the wilderness. I did not pk, and I have little stake in p2p pking returning, but I still did not find pkers to be that large of an issue. If I died, then I accepted that -- it was the wilderness, after all, and doing a clue scroll was not a privilege. But the vast majority of the time, I did not die; in fact, I very rarely saw a white dot and did not have time to quickly log out.
Have none of the dissenters been annoyed by the trade restrictions? I was dumbfounded to find anyone rejecting the idea of at least restoring trade to its pre-2007 status. I cannot lend a friend gold; I cannot borrow gold. I cannot participate in any trade (unless going out of my way to find "junk"
unless it's equivocated. The quest point limits are hardly suitable.
Gold farmers were **t an enormous problem before, and I'm not sure what holier-than-thou position RuneScapers take that by banishing gold farmers (only to an extent, for they still indeed exist) from RuneScape that the world will be a better place. It won't. Gold farming is perhaps the least of the problems the player must deal with; it is a burden only to Jagex.
Further, the RuneScape economy survived before the 2007 changes, and it certainly will thrive after the restoration to the pre-2007 status. If anything, the game economy was less manipulated, not more, then: now, clans of merchants seek to drive prices up and down; then, the worst one would fare is having to get through W2 Falador (and with the continuation of the grand exchange, even that would not be an issue any longer).
But most emphatically: pking. It does not harm a skiller to have to deal with the threats of level 1-10 wilderness much, but it is an undue burden to pkers and clans alike.
