P00n, with free trade, botters will be able to make new accounts to bot for them and then transfer the gold to their main account. That is what people mean by an increase in bots.
Even tho there are already enough bots in RS to make your head spin

Thanks Jagex! With some clarification, and a statement I saw elsewhere from mod mark, everything was a lot more clear. Very happy we have an actual poll :D P00n, free trade allows you to transfer umlimited gold, meaning that bots have an easy route to transfer gold to other accounts, be the botters main account, or someone else for real world trading. However, recently, I saw my bro (otherwise I might put the link) of a statement ingame by mod Mark where he said there was new anti bot software.(which came in last week) So, if what I saw wasn't a hoax, where set :D

oh dang true true. I see what you're saying. Hmmm well if jagex has the botting issue under control there shouldn't be any major problems with that. free trade was awesome in many ways tho, not that i merch cuz merching is way too time consuming, those who do should be able to merch like before and do with their items as they please. the g.e. should remain the way it is with the max limits greatly increased, and the min limits drastically reduced. this will give players the ability to more specifically put what they're willing to pay for an item and personal trades (non g.e.) should have no restrictions like the way it was before.

I also have been playing for a very long time, and i have to say, i was rather disappointed in the initial trade limit/wilderness updates. but now that they are set, with so many new players, returning to the old ways is a terrible idea. there will always be a reason to be in the wilderness for some reason or another, even if the important things are moved. with half the rs community having a pvp character, it will be neigh impossible to step foot in the wild without being instantly attacked or killed.
right now, the trade limit works. yeah its inconvenient sometimes when i cant give a friend some money or give away armor sets to people who need it. but it keeps things balanced, and keeps things from going completely out of control. in other words, there is currently a set economy that functions properly, reverting that to its former status will only end in chaos.

u guys are idiots if players use GE to mass buy items, only the hoarders get hurt they will pay over street price for items no one else is buying in GE, with free trade people will sell below the price on the street cuz stuff will stop selling on the GE once its to far above street and even the hoarders stop buying. GE will effectively stop being used for some items once prices get to high above street until it drops again, and the hoarders will make no money at all.

Augurer Ben you have summed up what clearly 90% of runescapes players think. Way more than 100,000 people quit playing after free trade and the wilderness were taken away from the game.
The wilderness is the wilderness, its meant to be dangerous... Why is there so much banter about "oh no im going to get pked!"? Who cares? Thats the fun of doing treasure trails. Theyre not meant to be easy. Whats the big deal about running around the big land of RS to find top-notch treasure? Yippee. It's at least a reward going into the dangerous areas of runescape successfully and finding your treasures. And in regards to an ON/OFF toggle; it just wont work. [Click ON and its the way RS was, click OFF and it's the way RS is now.*
On top of that, with free trade taken away the values of items havent been at the price where players value them, like in the real world. Also, when Jagex added the Grand Exchange I thought at first they were adding a type of "stock market" to the game. It hasnt been much of a stock market but with free trade it very well could be.
On the topic of bots.. There is no guarantee that they will increase OR decrease. Ive been called a bot and reported before but never has Jagex accused me for it. Why? Because when i skill i often like to turn public chat off and talk in private chat while i click the exact same pattern over and over, thus making my little man look like a bot. Therefore, we cannot make comments on bots with this update, it ultimately has no effect.
I am one of those players who quit playing due to that horrible update way back when.
Both the wilderness and free trade made the glory days of runescape, bring em' back, and the players will come!

Ok jagex, if you're going to go through with this whole free trade/old wildy thing i wanna let u know something. I wanna let u know it'd be nice if u could make at least 5 worlds with new wildy and that'd be very appreciated. I have alot of friends who are thinking of quitting cause of this update and it my message should be heard!

also off topic and stuff but u should make a treasure trial world. I'd be fun and that way people can borrow/lend tt items needed for clue scroll and stuff. Anywho hope u get this and thanks for making this awesome game!!!

merry christmas everyone and happy b-day jagex and runescape!!!!!!!!
