Dear People in Charge,
I don't have much preference for trade, however, I am whole-heartedly in favor of reverting to the old Wilderness. All MMOs are about making money and grinding to the top, but it's player-to-player interaction that gets people to stay. For me and my friends, the old Wildy was the sole reason we played. It was the one system RuneScape had that other MMOs didn't have. And we, like probably thousands of other people, quit after it was eliminated.
There was nothing like making pure strength, mage, or range characters with friends, stocking up on food/pots, and venturing into Level 13 Wildy. Nothing like getting trapped in that freaking annoying dead forest when you were running after some noob. Nothing like dying and feeling stupid (but hey, that's why you don't bring all of your best equipment!). Nothing like abusing the doors in the Black Knight Fortress so that a low level couldn't escape and got killed by the aggro knights. Nothing like that first full rune PK, which, not to sound like I have no life or anything, I still remember vividly because it was so awesome! He was almost about to tele out, and crush our dreams, but he died mid-teleport. He came back from the teleport to die, the full rune dropped, and I could've cried (almost)!
The current Wilderness is pretty dull in comparison and involves no skill. My friend and I tried it about a year ago, but honestly, hitting someone down to 10 hp just so they can run into a safe spot? Everyone crowded at Level 1 Wilderness so they can jump over the ditch if they're about to die? Practically everyone is a pure something, either wearing no equipment or wearing all of their equipment because they know they can just run into town? With no doors to abuse, no trees to swear at?
PKing is too organized nowadays. New players deserve to experience what was the greatest PKing system on a free-to-play game. High risk, high reward! ^_^

Dear Jagex,
I quit playing runescape when the trade restriction and wilderness were changed in 2007, because to me the game lost most of its appeal. Several of my friends also quit around the same time. We had all been members for at least a couple years. As I am sure we aren't the only ones who ceased our membership, Jagex probably lost a great number of players. If Jagex listens to what 90% of the players are saying, then myself and several of my pals will definitely resume our memberships.
Thanks for listening to us,
Pyro

As a player who played in 2005 (on a separate account) and then started playing more seriously in 2007 on this account, I would love to bring back free trade, and the wilderness! I have seen many people complaining on this forum that it would affect the G/E too much, but that is true, it would! But who cares? The G/E is extremely unfair cheating of the players. Jagex themselves said the G/E is a replication of the real world stock market, and since some players on RuneScape are so rich they can DECIDE themselves the price of an item by buying it out, which is completely wrong. Free trading would allow me to trade the money on several other accounts onto a new account giving me a good pile of money to have on a new character, which obviously I would not be able to do currently. I made the money, on 3 separate accounts, I should be able to trade it to whatever account of MINE, I want. I think free trade obviously may bring back RWT and botting, but the alternative is what? G/E? Jagex in their rules says it is breaking the rules to cheat a player on how much an item is worth, which is what people do on the G/E by 'merchanting.' I love free trading, please bring it back! It was a perfect nostalgia that I had of RuneScape back in 2005, and it has been lost now. Walking down the street in 2005 as a new player in mithril armor, happy I finally got it from the armorers in Varrock! Now I walk down the street with 99 fishing (saved up all my sharks to buy a Saradomin Godsword) and I see that people dedicated to raising the price of the Godsword for their OWN benifit so I can no longer afford it after months of being excited to get it. Really cheap.
As for the old wilderness I think there should be worlds like now. I love training at the druids in Edgeville dungeon, I shouldn't be afraid of suddenly being killed by a level 40 pure when I am just trying to train and earn a little money from the drops.
Sincerely,
Em Mercedes
