Yet I'm the only one out of us both giving constructive criticism towards this topic. If you wish to troll, please do so elsewhere. Thank you and have a Merry Christmas. (Or whatever holiday you celebrate)
Also, if you're inferring I'm a newcomer, I'm not. I just don't spend my time as wisely as should. I've played for quite some time now...

I am totally in favor of bringing back the original Wilderness AND Free Trade. For all of you who don't agree with returning free trade, hear me out.
We have all been scammed before, yes? Of course we have.
However, we as players NEED to learn from our mistakes! In the real world, people are scammed all the time. It is our job to recognize our faults, and to act accordingly by not repeating them!
Furthermore, with the bright flashing red exclamation points, in addition to the not one, but TWO trading review screens, it is impossible for CAUTIOUS player to be scammed!
Admit it guys and gals, you were scammed because you didn't take the time to READ your screens. You were so excited about receiving your first "Rune" scimitar that you immediately clicked 'Accept' without a glance. (I know I did.)
Still don't agree with me?
When you rode your first bike without training wheels, did you fall? Most of us would say we did. We would also say that, without a doubt, we were overwhelmed with joy when we pedaled down that pavement for the first time, flawlessly. Now imagine if those training wheels were NEVER removed. Would you ever learn to ride that bike by yourself?
You would be so content with those training wheels that even the thought of taking them off would seem stupid. I mean, you're so used it now, why make a change?
EVERYONE has forgotten the FREEDOM that RuneScape's trading system once had. Do you recall when Trade Limits first came out? There was an outrage! Riots were held in Varrock Square! Over time though, we all got accustomed to the limits, forgetting what we once held dear. Would this be the first time? Of course not.
Recall when the RuneScape Font was changed. How about the God Sword animations? The menu tabs? You may believe that these updates were simply 'minor', but a minor update here and there, and RuneScape could be a totally different game. DO your own due diligence...stop depending on the 'STATE' to protect you.

Free trade could go a long way to put an end to merch clans controlling the economy if we lose our dependence on the GE and start trading with each other instead, setting our own prices and offers.
Then with PK as it is, we have 76k tricks which is a nothing more than huge GP falling from the sky on these people.
Maybe both systems are broken, but which of the two would you prefer?
Free trade and Wilderness PKing at least gives the game more interest and challenge. Maybe it won't be all about who bought what skillcapes anymore. Less focus on 99s and more focus on gameplay has to be a good thing.
Tbh, I'd much rather bargain with a woodcutter than put in an order on the GE.
And with Wildy back, think how much your potions and food will be in demand. Skilling makes a comeback.
Take it easy chill mate
Wildy is supposed to be dangerous place to go, if you want a peaceful place, I suggest you to go chaos tunnel or lumbridge is the peaces* place in runescape.
Secondly, people are not blind. They can double check first before they click the final button to aceept the trade.

Completely supportive of this idea! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO SAID THE POLL IS NOT FAIR LISTEN. THE POLL IS CAN ONLY BE VOTED ONCE PER ACCOUNT. JAGEX WAS MAKING NO FLAW AT ALL. YOU CAN ONLY VOTE ONCE PER ACCOUNT. YOU CAN'T TYPE IN YOUR NAME FOR NUMBEROUS OF TIMES

@But
You can vote once per account BUT many people have multiple accounts so they have more than one vote per person.
It should be one vote / IP Address
I dont mind if old wildy comes back, but free trade is going to ruin the game... You dont have to get your own money, you can just ask your rich friends "Pl0x gief som cash need abby whip!!!1" And rich people will be able to control prices more than merch clans can these days.. and for GE, its not like Jagex has total control over prices.. If people sell/buy items on lowest, ofcourse price will go down.. people can affect item prices on how high they sell or buy items.
