I cant tell you how excited I am that Jagex is even considering this idea.
I have been playing RuneScape since early 2005. I Runecrafted with the abyss, I did clues in the Wilderness, and I dabbled in PKing. This is simply the best thing Jagex could do. For everyone against this idea:
Clues aren't meant to be easy.
If you dont like the wilderness dont go there?
if you dont like the idea of free-trade why? is it because you dont believe that the market should flux as it should? You may use the arguement of merching, but clearly that is still happening now just on a more organized scale.
If you dont like this possible update, then quit when it happens, end of story. the poll clearly states the majority. Either keep playing after this happens or leave.

JAGEX IF U ARE ON PLEASE READ THIS MESSAGE
as for the updates of old wilds and trade limit u guys made a huge mistake in the past 2007 untill now, it is a mistake all along the only thing we do by playing this game is obviously player killing otherwise why would we train? im not kinda of in for skillers so skillers kindly dont flame me, and jagex care about the majority not just the once that is whining all along cos they arent even around when old pkers started to scape so why listen to them and getting many more of ur players quitting this game? guys just bring it back im sure it will be over 150k/daily people on for sure

I never minded the threat of being PKed in Wildy, but back in the day the amount of bots and goldfarmers were getting out of hand in such a bad way it was ruining the game for everyone else. Today people use macros on their mains. I actually prefer that, because that way I can think that if they are caught they will be banned, and if they aren't they are at least fewer than the gold farmers were when these changes were made.
I don't as such mind reintroducing old Wildy and free trade. But I still voted no. If the in-game economy is not controlled by some system that evens out the worst peaks and valleys, if there is no convincing system of detecting bots and RWTraders, if there are no guarantees these things will be taken care of and made into non-issues, this is going to go down horribly. I suppose I could buy gold just the way someone else could, but I have never wanted to, and I have been proud to play a game developed by a company that seriously thinks that game stats should be worked on by gamers, and not bots and that advantages should not be paid for with real world money.
What have you done lately Jagex that would show us that you'll have the situation under control if you make these changes? The changes you are suggesting are not bad in themselves. But if the RWT situation of 2006/2007 is reintroduced you'll have ruined RuneScape pretty thoroughly. Old Wildy was a thrill. Free trade was sometimes convenient. The GE is a god send for ppl who want to play and not stand around shouting out there wares and needs. The revenants are far more dangerous than PKers were if you knew how to avoid them.
But seriously. Opening the game for goldfarmers and real world trading, making bots useful again on secondary accounts will violate the whole spirit of the game as it has been presented before. Is this it? You throwing in the towel in an endless fight against rule breakers? Or what? Guarantees, please and evidence. Then everything will be ok. Thanks.
