"...and to all the people who say the wildy isnt dangerous am i the only one who knows the meaning of the word revenants"
Dude I can run through the wilderness 100 times and not see 1 revenant(and yes I have done that before). The point of the wilderness is for it to be dangerous but if you dont run into anything dangerous then it just becomes and huge waste of space. Also your point of RWT and scammers is pointless, there still are RWTers around, still scammers around; there are ways around jagex's systems as anyone with half a brain can see. Tons of bots are still in place and no matter how good jagex or really any developers detection programs are or how up to date they are, it takes a minimum of 3 days for these botter to get around the programming and theyre getting better at it everytime... but I digress. The fact of the matter is your points are pointless and I suggest you try a different approach if youre going to convince anyone that free trade/wilderness is a bad idea.

I believe this poll has a major and inescapable flaw: The Proverbial Stuffing of the Ballot Boxes
The people who control the BOTS have many votes (as many votes as there are illegal BOT Accounts) and we all know they want an end to the Grand Exchange price setting, and thus, to allow Free Trading and NON-RuneScape sites to establish pricing guidelines.
Also, players old and new, who are PKers, have been creating multiple "Pure" accounts almost exclusively for the purpose of PKing. This gives them multiple votes and they too want an end to the Grand Exchange and to allow unrestricted Player Killing throughout the Wilderness.
So, I believe this poll is inherently biased and improper.

————————————————————————————————————————————

Many of us have grown accustomed to roaming throughout the Wilderness and enjoying it's eerie beauty. Unfortunately, If this biased vote does result in change, that will destroy it for us.
Therefore, if this terrible idea of a poll results in RuneScape moving backwards (instead of forwards as it did to counter RWT), I would at least like to see all of the different themed worlds maintained as they are now: with Bounty Worlds, and PVP Worlds, each kept separate from the rest of the safe Worlds.
Otherwise the Wilderness (and all the interesting areas within it) will once again be unfairly dominated by Pkers. That would be equally unfair to those of us who have no interest in killing —nor being killed by* other players.

I quit runescape back in 07 and I was devastated that the wilderness and free trade were gone. But that was back when I was a noob with only a few thousand gp. Nowadays I wonder why I quit because runescape had made A massive step in the right direction. I make money by selling herbs and make at least 90k instantly by selling them on the G.E. If this referendum goes through I will have to spend a lot more time actually selling my product rather than gathering.
I end my comment with this.
Jagex don't try to fix things that aren't broken.

In order to keep the scamming to a minimum, I think the trade limits should be replaced by 'recommended price' or something like that. People can then easily see what a common price for those items is (I think the recommended price should be a cumulative, recommended, price of all the items in trade). If the amount of the recommended price changes with more then 20% before the first trade screen is closed, you shouldn't be able to accept the second trade screen for around 3-5 seconds. This gives players time to see excactly what they're trading, but still isn't going to be an obstacle for regular & hounest traders.
Anyways, I really hope to see the wilderness & free trading return in RuneScape this year! Good decision to make the poll JaGeX! :) Greetings, Reteipy.

most scammers and rwters dont have half a brain so y let them do it
and theres no point in making it easier 4 them
anyway how does rwt work with no free trade
anyway i dont expect every world 2 be full of pkers in the wildy so neither works
however more revenants can alwaays be added but more pkers cant be added by jagex
so i fail 2 see ur point
anyway where did u get the figure 3 days from
and while there are still scams now there are less than there where with free trade and wildy
and reteipv ur suggestion of recomended trades might work with a warning screen coming up if u r losing about 20+% from the trade or something so people can still do it but get warned if they being scammed
