See alot of people giving constructive feedback - which is great to see
From my point of view; Keytar Angel pretty much hit the nail on the head, even with the record number of players voting "Yes"; im not sure players realise how big of an update this would be and how many "newer" features of the game would have to be relocated, its important that both sides of the argument have to be considered and evaluated equally.
Sorting the votes into catagories would definately help, as the older players (Who actually experienced the free trade/old wilderness) have first hand knowledge (As jagex do) as to the pros and cons it will bring back to the game, leading up to the question - Is it really worth bringing it all back?
Balancing the argument out slightly - The bringing back of the old wilderness and free trade would lessen some of the problems faced in the economy such as merchants, although not solving the problem of bots and possibly bring back the concept of scamming into the game.
Keeping the grand exchange is an idea i do agree with - giving players at least an idea of what items are worth before selling, aswell as the upper and lower trade bounds being removed, giving more freedom to players.
Ultimately it comes down to 'Why' Jagex decided to start a potential referendum for Runescape, is it down to a simple "we were wrong" or is it an attempt to bring back all the players who have left? - If it is the latter i fear it may be too late; as other games (Without any specific mentions) are coming out with new versions/sequels and the players are moving with the times, whilst runescape remains relatively constant (Which is what the players of runescape want, but may not attract a great number of new players)
Whatever is decided all i ask is that everything is taken into account, there is alot of good constructive feedback that players have posted on the forums, which *Should* be read through before a decision is made.
Appologies for the long post
