I do not agree with reintroducing wild and free trade. I have played since 04 and the wild wasn't that much of a problem for skillers and treasure hunters.
However, just because some people quit in 2007 and will only come back if wildy is back, doesn't mean you can just trash everything in wildy from 2007 onward.
For example, Spirit of Summer was meant to be in wilderness and I can't see any other place for the corp beast to be besides there. That's just one quest. You can't move every little thing out of the wilderness just so pkers can come back. Chaos tunnels moved out aswell? Clue scrolls not in wilderness?

I think that bh and pvp worlds should be kept. Just get rid of the EP in them and change random drops to whatever the victim was carrying. That way pkers can come back and players that enjoy wilderness as is can both be happy.

Poll is still extremely goofy. I wanted to vote I don't care on free trade, and no on wilderness. Instead I had to vote no on both. These are both really big issues that need people to look at them indivually.
Anyways, if wilderness returns, Jagex, you really need to just move everything that people commonly do out of there. That's the big reason people want the old wild to return, to grief people who don't want anything to do with the wild. People just want to camp abyss and dragons and get easy loot with little to no effort. "Your god's dead next time he's in a world event. "

Okay first of all, all of you people complaining about dying whilst in the wilderness doing clue scrolls and such, there is around 165 worlds and do you really think there will be somebody in all of those worlds, back in the day there were only like 50 or so worlds so hopping is an easy solution.
Loots are a big issue as well for Pking individuals, I pk ever so often and I dont want to have to sit there for 2 hours just to get a decent loot. I would rather go into worlds to pk, not to sit around and wait for EP.
Free trade is another good thing so all junk gets eliminated, no more street prices or anything, GE will still be effective because people will want to sell items to the GE for very high prices but it wont happen so prices will lower. As jagex said themselves, their company has developed over years and they have lots of defense and different mechanisms to stop botters. Now you can also give your friends gifts and help the odd noob out in Lumbridge, you can no longer scam in trade because if you don't notice i big red exclamation mark in the trade screen then it's your fault you got scammed in the first place.
Well that's my 2 cents

I heavily agree on bringing back free trade, However, I think that removing pvp worlds is a mistake. The thrill of completely owning some dude in middle of varrock is just unlike any other. I also think that pvp worlds should change like all the rest and remove ep, make it where your opponent drops what he had. I also agree with many other people out there that just relocating quests that were specifically built for that area, and minigames and clue scrolls for that matter, is a very, very bad idea. Continuing on from there, I think bh worlds should stay, but remove the '+1'. That way, skillers and people who enjoy their quests/minigames can enjoy them, without having to endure a haphazard mutation of what the quest/mingame was and should have been. So....yeah, that's my opoinion, please don't flame :D

Brining back the wildy to pking adds risk to all the players who want to enter wilderness for any reason. This is how a game should be. You shouldn't have it easy. If you want to accomplish a task, there should be a challenge. It adds excitement to the game.
As for free trade, it should be brought back. The reason for this is that the economy would now flow freely like it used to in the old days. Prices can't be manipulated anymore and that means we won't see them crash in a day or two. If items are in demand, prices might go up 5-10% but not much more. People who are willing to wait and sell their items at the higher prices will be making a profit while the people looking to make quick cash will sell for lower than the market price. This is how the game should be. The seller and buyer should negotiate the price at which the item should be traded and not a preset price given by the game.

First off let me say that everyone should vote on this weither it be "yes" or "no" this IS a huge decicion on the fate of this game and one not to be taken lightly.
As for were my opinion lies i shall vote no. Apart from some ovious ups and downs of haveing it brought back what about unforseen events. Items and prices for example will the economy of runescape fall into a deep depression cause of this.Or on another point Jagex you say you will relocate the quests and activites but... where to put them with out the land getting to cluttered.
In conclusion I strongly believe this change is a little to short sighted and we should really consider at what might happen if we are to ever consider this again.
