on the issue of trade in my opinion it is broken now, hoarders/manipulators/mercehrs all take advantage of the ge, and hoard items to profit off of other players in hopes of increasing their own wealth. Now that free trade is coming back their power over the economy has dwindled down, and it will be fair to all again.

this is one reason i strongly support this.
-Yes people are greedy and will try to scam others, the world is pretty corrupt so this will be unavoidable, even with trade limits therefore when this happens i strongly encourage runescape to try to educate their players.

"Remember its a game, Learning is a part of it even if you dont want it to be"
-People now adays are actually more dependent on things like games and tv more so than ever. Therefore free trade can and probably will encourage others "moral value" as well as account safety and ect.

l337queen, you are exactly the kind of immature 12 year old that I hate to see ruining Runescape. It's pathetic. You even have l337 in your name! I bet you didn't even think of the consequences before voting yes, you just thought, oh I can pk because i'm so awesome. Grow up, think before you trash talk and be a little more mature on the forums please.

Weren't we going to wait until the 14th of January?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAHAHA, thank you! It is obvious who the players of RS are and what they want.
Jagex earns their respect back, oh and I'm going to subscribe for at least 3 months now as a promissed... Ofcourse you must follow through with this awesomeness!
To be honest, this is like the best of both worlds!
If revs are to drop pvp gear, they should probably be stronger... they suck! no offense. Thank you!

Here's a bit of a ball buster to any people hoping about luring.
I'm not really sure how to get this across in a way you will really notice, but this is a good idea,
Like how you had 10 seconds you could still be under attack after leaving the wilderness in combat, You should add a 10 second immunity to being attacked when you enter the wilderness, which should come across with the player being unable to attack for the 10 seconds.
People have already been discussing about luring, with dropping the cash in the wilderness trick, but if you add this 10 second immunity when you enter, the problem would cease to exist.

I am at least somewhat better satisfied by this poll.. the first produced absolutely *nothing* that can be relied upon, however.. And it troubles me that Jagex seems to fail to see that. All they did was heavily advertise a "vote" that could be easily defrauded, and was, extensively.. When 4chan discusses showing up and casting fake votes just for grins, you know you have a problem...
At any rate..This new one is better, at the least.
I am personally *not* in favor of returning the wilderness to its former state.. I do not pk, I do not like pk, and I certainly do not like things which encourage the malfeasance and misanthropic behavior of a certain percentage of the pk community to be inflicted across the entirety of runescape servers.
That I face a degree of danger is fine. That I do so as a means for Jagex to reward a certain percentage of the playerbase for cretinous and dishonorable behavior is quite another matter.
As far as Free Trade goes.. I'm of mixed opinion.
Considering the extent of botting that I see on RS currently, and the fact that I concretely *know* of cases where people have been temp-banned for botting erroneously... I am seriously skeptical that Jagex has anywhere near the resources or technical capacity to truly contain the escalation that will inevitably result from the proposed changes..
On the other hand, an uncapped GE is a very good thing, as is the ability to exchange whatever I wish with my friends under whatever terms I desire. I happen to like giving presents, and it will improve collaboration.
I would like a third stage of vote to separate the two issues, so we can see where the interest really lies, and to what extent.

Great stuff this referendum guys!
I'm all for free trade and the 'old wildy' and all that back. My only 'real' concerns are just this:
1) rwt/nolifing[for a profit]. People may once again be buying gold/items irl and getting them on rs (that would be unfortunate..).
Sure scamming might happen if people aren't paying attention (but the "!" flasheys will help).
Luring won't be an issue anymore since the wildy ditch has been implemented. Wasn't that (luring) annoying!
A question I have with the free trade is about dropping. Would the 3k drop still be implemented everywhere? Else it would give people LOTS of incentive to Hack accounts (ohh the days... that was annoying...) and to drop-trade them to their own accounts. - Now back in the day when I had barely 1m in total wealth (and most of it in items), getting hacked was pretty hardcore to have All the wealth lost...(it has happened to everyone..possibly multiple times...). Anyway. But now that I'm not as much of an inexperienced player and have Real ways to make money (and Really valuable items i.e Rares O_o ) the thought of being hacked now is Much more threatening.
So I would really like an answer to this (and I'm sure others might as well). Would the 3k drop limit still be in place?
Thanks for the re-voting thing guys! It should be a gf for everyone, though it seems the result will be shown w/i the first day of voting.
Cheers!

As things seem so far, this is gonna be THE WORST UPDATE EVER. This on top of all those narrowly-community-oriented updates that we get lately drives me to seek something else.
This new Gerhard guy has already destroyed all uniqueness of this game as it becomes more and more mainstream and thus just another unremarkable game among all the slashers.
Bring back Andrew, he had some sense to promote content that I liked.
