You really don't have much of a say at all . I could care less if you were for it or against it . Doesn't matter . You didn't play post '07 . You have no idea what it was like . You haven't heard both sides of the story on the issue . So yes, shut the hell up .

NO. JUST NO.
To those that don't understand, this is a big mistake.
I seriously doubt the valid votes of this poll. Do you remember Jagex, what you took out of the game? BOTS. BOTS. BOTS. BOTS. BOTS. BOTS. BOTS.
I have been a player for over 7 years, and I can tell you that even now there are still bots running around. Before you made trade restrictions, there were literally dozens of bots on each yew tree, on each fishing ground, on each everything!
People literally make real money off of this, actual real life money, not to mention all the in-game corruption of market prices. It would not be a free trade your reintroducing, it would be a corrupt trade.
I doubt 1.2million even look at the news, let alone all vote yes. You yourself said that PKers only constitute 15% of the population at most. How many people are online at the same time per day? The past poll is corrupt, and this one can be abused too. Botters would love to just create accounts to vote in. I'm sure that if you looked at the voter accounts for "yes", you'd find some pretty questionable activity or lack of it.
Gold Farming, for the love of God, gold farming!! DON'T GIVE IN JAGEX. You exhausted tons of effort to cure the majority of this cancer and even made vast arguments for your actions that was clear cut. It was something that needed to be done. It was not in vain, although there are still bots, they are not as many, only one or two per world on any training or money making area.

King- they don't care about consequences. It matters not to those who have the memories of "old" wild. They can buy their supplies cheaper once more bots move in.
And ppl who don't care about wild but do care about free trade... well they have other agendas. Maybe a friend quit and will give them a phat. Maybe they want to give to friends. Maybe they want to scam newbs.. who knows. It's all about the allmighty gp with them.
So if this bot detector detects them.. then what. Wait for server updates or server crash or a rainy day to remove what is detected? There are far too many with the trade restriction in place for me to understand how Jagex* will handle the additional goldfarming bots.
Once the trade restriction goes we have repeat of 2007.
1. Bots for personal account
2. Bots goldfarming for rl income
3. Sweatshop employees heading to frost dragons for income
4. Scamming for personal account
5. Hacking accounts for income
Seems like some serious consequences to us unbiased regular players for a bit of nostalgia.
Does Jagex think it will up membership that much with the new goldfarming accounts and ex-members coming back to members? Besides - don't forget that loads of members went f2p to pk anyway. They liked having that agility advantage.

My opinion is worth as much as yours, i'm in a cc where these issues are discussed a lot, with players you will probablye call "pro's" then.
I have a balanced opinion, based on words I read on the forums and in game. It's kinda silly from your side to focus on the time someone played.
Maybe you should think twice, and explain me why you are in favor of the changes ;)
