come on, old wildy was awesome! players did REAL trading where THEY decided what they're items were worth, it wasn't all spelled out. merch clans are ruining prices, merching used to be an honest way to get money. No more noobs taking cannons to green dragons: ur gonna have to risk it to get money like people who go searching for hidden gold.
PVP is rediculous at the moment:m in pvp worlds u cant do anything without getting pjed by some maxed player with a korasi sword or bridded out by a maxed tank.
U need ep and dp to get something worse picking up:
EP: stay in dangerous spot and do nothing for an hour.
DP: lose ur stuff to get some more stuff.
I killed a hybrid risking 30m and i got a 140k loot...

i am going to say one major thing about bringing back the old wild an free trading the thing about it is it has pros an cons just like everything does the cons are of course the botters the rwt an people who are just trying to find an quick easy way to get rich quick or have good stuff are going to come back but look at the pros to having all that stuff back runescape was at its best when everyone was on with the free wild to fight any an every wear no stupid 1 item pking an with the old wild if you were 1 item pking you would get attacked an smited an hope you lost that the other person lost there stuff to stop it but the free trade some friends wana help some people out like me back before the trade limit i gave my cousin who also plays 1m starting money because he didnt no how to raise good money quick an you start with nothing on here so that kinda sucks me personally i say bring it back i want to be able to step out in the wild an see a whole bunch of players running around fighting an pking an also like it was posted you can try to stop the cheaters but it wont happen you can stop some but not all so why not just bring everything back an watch out for the people an catch as many as you can an just get rid of them for it

Jagex have finally gained some common sense allowing this update to occur. Players against this update usually state 'People will get scammed with free trade and Real World Item Trading will start'
Well, to be honest, about the 'scamming'. Maybe if people weren't dumb enough and actually looked at the second trade window, they wouldn't get scammed. Why does the second trade window even exist? It's to prevent scamming. Also, real world item trading occurs regularly on every top online game. I don't think Runescape should allow 90% of the players to feel downhearted just because of some stupid gp sellers. Runescape used to be one of the top Payed Online Multiplayer games before Free trade was demolished. Also, there are still ways to buy gp either way you update runescape. At the current moment, people are paying the sellers to log onto the buyers account and kill green dragons or other profitable monsters. You may think 'well the buyer can do this themselves' Well no, that's why the dragon killer does it over night when the buyer is asleep.
Forum moderaters also state 'If you bring back the old wilderness, people would get lured and killed and dragon killers would be killed'.
To be honest, the wilderness has many danger signs inluding the wilderness ditch, if a player which doesnt know what the wilderness is attempts to cross the ditch, it gives them a warning which clearly states directly to them that they may lose all of their items and ahead is a very dangerous place. If people get lured with the ditch around, they're simply stupid and have an IQ lower than 50 or are probably under the age of 12 and shouldn't even be playing. 'Green dragon killers', they were doing fine before 2007, they just shouldn't skull and prevent taking wealthy items, they could easily 'Three item' and protect it all after death'. Wild would also prevent bots from killing dragons.
In 2007, if Jagex attempted to tackle bots, then they've done a bad job since bots still exist.

So here we are with 980-something posts, many of which simply consist of players arguing back and forth.
Look people, Jagex knows what they're doing. That is inevitably true. They wouldn't do this if they thought they couldn't pull it off. Sure there are risks, sure there are plenty of things that could happen. But, we are members of the RS community and Jagex has always been working for their community. Sure, we may have to put up with bots and cheaters and the likes, and you may get scammed. But heck, we survived it in the past and now here we are with better tools, and we are better prepared than in the past to handle these things.
Honestly, if you can spot a possible flaw in a plan do you think the people at Jagex who work to see these kinds of things (and who get paid to do so) wouldn't see it? No offense to your intelligence, but I repeat: Jagex knows what they're doing. It's sad that we don't trust the group that built this game to do what they believe is best. They believe, as we can see, that giving the players the ability to choose whether these things happen or not is what they should do.
I personally am excited to see this happen, and if things go wrong, Jagex (again,as we have seen in the past) will always work to pull through it. It is our job as their trusted community to support them and express our opinions in a civilized manner. Seriously, they built us the #1 free online multi-player game. Why on earth can we not trust them to do things that will work?

This is my re-post of this, I do so because it seems were repeating the same arguments, to the point of the same avail. Please people, can we not trust the people at Jagex to do their jobs? They've been doing this for a long time, so instead of arguing back and forth make your vote, and trust that Jagex can do this. Cause we all know they can. They've been doing so for a long time.

free trade and old wilderness is atleast half of the reason why runescape is as big as it is today, and getting rid of it had resulted in a large majority of runescapes most dedicated players quiting, as far as all the flaws of the wilderness like the item scaming help make it as big as it was. Besides those players who where "scammed" went out there knowing the risks of carrying all those items.
i just would like to see runescape get back what made runescape so great many years ago.
