Although mixed feelings about actually bringing back the Old Wilderness & Free Trade, I support the roll-back. As all decisions, this one is no different, its got it's pros and cons. The quality, amount, and over-all feel to PKing will be changed (for the better in my opinion). Free Trade will allow for better grip on our own economy, less power to the mass number of Grand Exchange manipulating clans. There are countless reasons as to why both Old Wilderness and Free Trade will make a great come-back to the game. Now, with that said, I do understand that with this we'll also bring back our "bad-apples". Though; if you thought that botting, scaming, hacking, and real-world-trading has diminished since the taking out of both Old Wilderness and Free Trade? You're kidding yourself. All those actions are just as present as they ever have been, simply hidden from eye as the techniques and reasons for doing so evolve to avoid detection.

The GE has given us the great opportunity to buy and sell at a controlled way. It also ment that you would not have to wander around worlds, looking for somebody to buy your wares. Instead, you could just put your offers in the GE and do something constructive.
In my opinion, the controlled trade limit should stay because it gives people who want to do harm no chance and you can buy and sell much faster.
For the wilderness, I do not really care if it comes back or not as long as the events, which are currently set in there, (Fist of Guthix, Clue Scroll, Clan Wars etc.) remain to stay.
Maybe the PvP worlds are ok? There are a lot of people who do not want to get bothered with pk'ers when in the Wildy, and a lot of players who DO want to pk when outside of the Wildy.
So a NO! from me,
R.

When Jagex moved to end the Wilderness and "no limit trading" it was an attempt to stop real world trading (RWT) and botting. I did not know of RWT before they acted to stop it and I know not of RWT since then but the botting problem seems not to have diminished.
While looking for a world, when I log in, I notice the number of players on the "unsafe" worlds. Those "unsafe" worlds are usually populated by not many more than a couple hundred players. All other worlds, on the other hand, are populated by hundreds and thousands of players. I am very puzzled comparing this with the results of the "return the wild" poll.
I can see the dilemma Jagex is in. 1,200,000 signatures (probably a lot of former player killer players) petitioning for the return of the wild. And now the poll that strongly requests that return. Along with that return comes the possible/probable reintroduction of RWT. Does Jagex now have the proper tools to combat RWT? And what about those of us who do not see the advantage of the Wilderness?
I would suggest, as others have, a sort of compromise. Wilderness Theme Worlds. Align the new theme worlds aside from the current worlds. That way there is no excuse for entering one unknowingly. Let us then see how many folks really enjoy that kind of fun.
