This "poll" is not a good poll. It has combined two issues, old wilderness and free trade limits. It only gives us the option to agree or ignore it. There is no room for middle ground like special designated worlds or toggle the option of player killing in the case of the wilderness.
Furthermore, people can vote the name of a character even if the person owning the character decides to boycott., no ******** was given. People could create accounts simply to inflate the numbers artificially. This is not a good way to gauge the opinion of the average player. In short, this is not a valid way of getting players feelings on this issue.
For once in a very long time of playing, I am disappointed in you, Jagex.

It's kind of frustrating to see that so many people that love this game would want to go and ruin it.
You kept playing even after they got rid of the "free trade and wilderness" didn't you? That's because all of that was a just an issue at the time. It's been 3 yrs since that happened and you are still playing. So how about we just keep the game the way it is and let that be that.

I'm getting 50 - 100 new votes as fast as I can hit refresh and have the new number pop up. It varies and I can only do the rough math in my head quickly as I hit refresh (I am an accountant and can do this definately under 10 as fast as I can hit refresh), but doesn't this show you something is wrong?
I'm almost tempted to go and keep voting just so this *does* exceed the number of registered accounts by January 14th. Not even Jagex can then ignore the fact that their system is improper. Right? Can they? O_o
But I don't think it will need the help.

Dear Jagex,
Thanks for acknowledging the fundamental role of runescape players, particularly paying members who put their money where there mouth is. My runescape playing experience began in 2006 and I have followed the progress Jagex have made to combat the reality of cheating/scamming that will always occur in the game, despite the very best efforts of Jagex staff to detect and stop this in-game, aniti-social behaviour.
Wilderness was removed and unlimited trading abolished: major game changes dedicated to combat cheating throughout the land of runescape. A decision that was met head first with protest. However, a series of updates followed to somewhat dampen this blow, including player assisting, lending of items and increased trade limits for long-term friendships.
It thus appears rather illogical of Jagex to suddenly renege on their commitment to protect the honest runescape players from the reality of scamming, real-world trading and auto-boting etc**
***-instating the wilderness and unlimited trading will essentially unravel the hard work already put in by Jagex staff and undo the progress made between the different sections of the Jagex community (staff, non-members and members) to accept and understand the reasons why Jagex HAD to respond to the dishonest game play in such a dramatic way.
I would most certainly like to see runescape progress towards something like the old wilderness and unlimited trade for the benefit of honest runescape players. At the same time, I also understand the logic of why this MUST be balanced against the dishonest people who abuse these privileges and cheat.
Rather than repeating history and going cold turkey on your members by simply re-instating wilderness and unlimited trading as quickly as you took it away - Is there room for continuing to improve these features of runescape, whilst still maintaining the balance between honest and dishonest gameplay? Ofcourse, a balance in favour of honest gameplay. Can we really pr

I would also like to add that the vote polls is a complete disgrace and failure.
People voted, and revoted.. and use other players name to vote as well.
Please make it a normal poll ( like you did for the d scimmy and others..) where you log in, with ********, and vote.Some people would also like to vite for none of those 2 ideas (like me).
The vote should include options like: old wildy only, no trade limit only, both or none. Thanks.

END of my previous post:

Rather than repeating history and going cold turkey on your members by simply re-instating wilderness and unlimited trading as quickly as you took it away - Is there room for continuing to improve these features of runescape, whilst still maintaining the balance between honest and dishonest gameplay? Ofcourse, a balance in favour of honest gameplay. Can we really predict what will happen to runescape if we don’t tread with caution?

P.S If this vote is a joke or fraud, which I am also seriously thinking it might be because of the unclear and bias format of the voting poll I can only see that Jagex would have abused their power and the trust that players put in the Jagex team. Is this a pre-determined voting poll, underlying what appears to be a fair choice? Need only look at the operation of governments in the current world to understand how morally and ethically wrong that would be.

I DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE BIG PROBLEM IS..
-KIDS CRYING OVER DIEING IN WILDY- THEY CAN ALWAYS MAKE A FEW WORLDS TO KEEP WILDY SAFE EVEN THOUGH THE WHOLE POINT OF WILDERNESS IS TO BE DANGEROUS.. MAKING IT DANGEROUS MAKES THINGS YOU DO IN IT HARDER. ITS A CHALLENGE DEAL WITH IT.
-PEOPLE GETTING SCARED OF GETTING SCAMMED ? GET REAL LOOK WITH YOUR EYES AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND IN THE TRADE BOX IF YOU ARE GETTING SCAMMED OR NOT.. EITHER THAT OR GO SPECSAVERS (Y)
-THE POST IM ACTUALLY GOING CRAZY ABOUT.. EVEN MODERATORS ARE THAT IMMATURE CRYING OVER THE VOTE POLL? YOU EITHER VOTE OR NOT HOW MUCH MORE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW TO JUST SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN..
-I WANT THE WILDY BACK AND I WANT THE FREE TRADE BACK.
ITS UP TO YOU WHAT YOU WANT BUT IM STATING FACTS THAT KIDS DONT UNDERSTAND.
------------------------------------------------------------
Caps locks dont make you sound threatening... and who said we were kids? We're just fighting for a cause, like you...
