I'm very glad to see Jagex make this change. I pretty much quit playing after they went to a managed economy (well, a very poorly managed one) and restricted trade among players. Restricting what I can give to and receive from my friends and family took the joy out of the game for us.
I do not like PKing, but I understand that a lot of people do. I only go in the wildy for treasure trails, and I don't like it. I must say, though, that I would rather deal with players than with revenants. Real PKers will leave people doing their clues alone. Revenants can hit you before you see them on the mini-map, not so for PKers, so at least I have a chance.
So, changing the wildy is ok with me, it's not a big deal and, even if I hated PKers, I would vote yes b/c free trade is a very big deal. I would really prefer that Jagex find some way to make treasure trails hard besides sending us to the wildy. They are very creative people and I wish they'd think hard about this.
It is rare to see a company admit its mistakes and change. (I have yet to see Jagex admit that this was all a huge mistake, but they have capitulated.) So, I appreciate that.
Yes, there will be bots, but the Jagex Nanny State didn't get rid of bots. All in all, my family and I are very happy with the proposed change.

I hated the wildy the way it was before. I know the revnants are a pain, but why can't we keep the worlds separated like they are now where some are PVP and some aren't. The worlds with the wildy would be like the old wildy and the worlds without the PVP wildy would have revnants so either way the wildy is still dangerous. I could live with that.
Also, I like the ideas mentioned about keeping some sort of price range at the GE just so people know what something is worth. I remember what a pain it used to be trying to find out what something was worth before the GE. There's got to be a way to do that. Maybe make it a suggested price range.

This is one of the great news I have heard in recent from Jagex. Bringing this 2 things back to this game will bring back the old feeling of Runescape. I started this game from 2003 so I have played RS original and back then this game was more simple and there was less idiots. Back then people won't be complaining much. I support this obviously :) :)

"I dbout they're relocating everything. Green dragons, the kb, etc have been there long before the update."
They may not be relocating those, but even back when the wild was its old way, people STILL managed to do green drags.. Just dont be stupid. Theres a way to still do those, and thats the same way people managed to do everything back when the game Had its free trade, and Pking / Staking
Like the above poster said, "He pretty much quit when they restricted trade and such"
So did like 50%+ of the players that played, beacuse alot of people play JUST for Pking.
Some people play to merch and others quest and care about the games lore.

So, Yea. lmfao

well, some times i think people look at things one way. If i could say i think that the free trading would be great. But if the old wild came back it could be a big problem.
Mostr people think if the old wild being great and getting money and that stuff... But ever since the wild left it has become a great money income to runescape. Many people kill green dragons and go slay in the wild. This brings great income and money to players. If the wild does come back players will have to be fighting through 20 lvls of players to get to dragons or other things. Many people also have cannons....people got to love them or hate them.... Now in the wild players would be able to dominate anyone with that.
This would even make getting through waves of people harder. And if someone does manage that wat if there is a cannon at dragons or something. I guess my main 2 points are that people need to look at this in a different way. My last point is that the polls should have let you vote on wild and trading by themselves.
