@loony,
That's business. Happy customers = more money. If you stepped into McDonald's and went to the register and they said, "Hello, how may I take your money?", then what type of reaction would you get? Yes, JaGeX cares about their money. They made it clear in 2007 when they took away wildy and free trade. It's called BUSINESS. You're not going to make money when your customers aren't happy.

So it looks like the wildy and free trade are coming back.
I still wonder at the voting mechanics that show over a million in favour of these changes and I wonder what the Yes percentage would be for a) paying members and b) members who actually remember what it was like with the wildy and real-world-trading bots.
I just hope that Jagex will be able to stem the tide of bots that are liable to increase exponentially with the removal of trade and drop limits.
I also hope Jagex realise that simply re-introducing the old wildy will, for me, simply mean that there is a large chunk of Runescape that I just never go to or use.
Watch out for the summer 2011 Referendum 'Change it back!!'

^^i think it would be more of a fire the idiots who thought that bringing back the wildy wouldnt create 2 much of a problem
and im hoping that when the staff say they r looking through this thread they mean theyre thinking of an excuse 2 back out of theis lose-lose situation

Why I voted yes.

The old wilderness was funner.
I don't know any other game that haves a trading cap and honestly is ridiculous.
staking will be back.
Dragons and abyss were intended to be dangerous, and they aren't, in fact in the old wildy the abyss was safer than my house.
Rs will be dangerous again (let's admit it, it's too easy now).
Birthdays and Christmas presents are back.
Bye bye junk trading.
Bye bye stattuetes that forced the gp to be less valuable.
Ge will stay.
More gameplay freedom.
Some expansive and semi-useless skills will be profitable again such as crafting, herblore, fletching etc.
Also note that bringing back the wilderness brings economic benefits.
The street prices will not need junk trades.
The ge prices will be better based on the street price.
With the random drops gone, the unbalance made by the disappearance of items will be nullified, which will make inflation to decrease, and the supply will be increased.
The statuettes which hit on the gp actual value gone will also stop inflation.
About RWT:
Jagex will never get rid of it.
I don't see why the wild should have been taken in first place for such a trivial matter, why the legit players should pay what non legit players do?
Rather than making a bunch of in game updates they should have improved they're detection systems.
Since when all "honest" players care about botters?
Bots decrease inflation and brings resources to the game (gl buying sharks without bots).
The fear of bots is like the fear of death, you will never get rid of it.
That's like you won't cross the street just because your afraid of death.

i have just one thing to say and this is it.
there will be more ticked off players if we don't get it back becacsue if 91% infavor of it coming back isn't enough compaired to 7% no and 2% idc then what is.
there is ganna be less people mad if it comes back cause they will relize it isn't bad and they can still do there clues.

if they want to keep their customers happy, they need to make seperate servers so that people can do what they want to do, free trade, limited trade, wildy back or same as today. frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.
