Some very valid points made on both sides - so consider this - I don't mind the old wilderness coming back, BUT I don't want free trade back (RWT and botting will return/increase whatever they say).
So - How do I vote?
Simple answer is - I can't ;-(
Thanks for at least giving the appearance of a choice.
They know we are all so hooked we won't go anywhere :P

About Free Trade:
* Unrestricted Free Trade between players - Finally real merchanting will exist again! I am looking forward to this more than anything else!
* Unlimited staking in the Duel Arena - I wasn't a staker, but I'm sure those that did stake will be happy
* The Grand Exchange would remain, but with the lower and upper price limits removed - Glad to see you're keeping it! I couldn't imagine trying to sell 10,000 freshly made adamant platebodies from getting 99 smithing to individuals, for instance. Without the limits, items will be buyable the day they are released, instead of waiting months or two years in the case of Elysian shields (and Divines STILL aren't buyable on GE, and are just over halfway to their current street value...)
* Party Room drop restrictions removed - I seldom used the party room but the 10 minute limits, etc, were a pain when I did. Glad to see this is being done away with.
* Item Lending still available - No scamming friends, w00t?
* Assist System still available - This is good
* LootShare and CoinShare still available - YES! I hope you're planning on keeping LS/CS only servers as well, so that we soloers can still go alone...
Excellent changed to the wilderness as well!
Any idea around when this will all be happening? Even a space as large as "early 2011" or "Summer 2011" would help tremendously!
Thanks for all this, glad to see you can finally give us this back again!
Merry Christmas!

I myself am a very casual player, and I remember still being a noob back in 2006. Truth be told, I could never make a dime because I had absolutely no basic comprehension of Free Trade. I decided to quit for a couple of months. I got back in early 2007, and I became very accostomed to the GE format after the update. If the GE is removed, I may not be able to sell my items at the price they are truly worth. Luckily
this is very unlikely, due to the number of newer players vs. older players.
My only other concerns are that of the wilderness. As I have mentioned, I am a VERY casual player. It's taken me four years to get to level 67! If I am unable to freely access areas of the Wilderness without fear, I may have to relocate some of my areas for training. It shouldn't cause much of an issue though. I voted "NO" only for the sake of my fellow low levels.

I think that there are many uncertainties that must be resolved before implementing the free trade and wilderness. It seems in the list of changes that there are many ambiguities.

Jagex really lost there mind with this idea. Just opening the gates again for extra RWT'ing and stuff. Jagex can't even control the current botting, rwt'ing and stuff so why would they unleash the hounds even more?
But this new poll isn't a Guaranteed Content Poll (I just realised) so I hope Jagex will make this idea go vanish.
