"I am heartsick at the thought that the old wildy may return. I am even sadder at the glee the kids are expressing. They keep referring to the "thrill" of killing other players and robbing them.
These kids really need parents to check up on them. They have no care or consideration for other people"
Your account name represents you very well. ~Adnetwork

Yes, Adnetwork, my account name says exactly who I am: a great-grandmother, retired, who loves Runescape. I have two member accounts and a f2p account for which I plan to buy membership eventually. Less than $200 per year for the very best entertainment. I hope I won't be too depressed to play if the worst happens and Runescape reverts to the old wildy. I have so much fun with it as it is. The thing I hated most about pkers was their absolute lack of compassion toward their victims. In my own personal experience, pkers laugh at other's distress. The old wildy encouraged these sociopathic types.

You guys.. JaGeX HONESTLY has not made a good update.. They shouldn't have took the Wildy from us in the first place.. But glad we have a chance to speak for ourselves to get it back. And the 8% Or whatever who said 'No', that will be made up for by the people who've quit RuneScape because of JaGeX taking the Wildy in the first place. I hope we get this back!
Merry Christmas!

Dear Jagex,
I'd just like to create this thread to inform you that I voted no and I definitely do not like this idea.
Having the option to vote to bring back the trade limit is NOT a good idea. You have no idea how many botters you are going to have if you do this. You've already got nearly too many to keep track of, you are going to have so much more.
I strongly disagree with this idea, and the only word I can use for this is Insane. In my opinion, it's borderline stupidity as well. I WON'T be quitting if you do this but I certainly won't be happy and some other player's wont be as well.
I just thought I would give you my say.
Thank you,
Kickium.

We can only hope that Jagex is watching this thread with a careful eye before they make any hasty decisions.
Jagex needs financial advisors for Runescape I personally enjoy posting here seeing as I've never posted in my life before.
_________________________
Point is simple concerning the *hopefully* future update:
*Pros concerning free trade:
-Players would be able to buy and sell at their own prices as they see fit, not at the prices merchers nerf them to be.
-You can actually give gifts to your friends on their b-day worth more than 10k. -_-
-Allows an easier way for players to become wealthy at an increased rate.
~Cons concerning free trade:
-New players would have to take some time familiarizing themselves with the market. That's it.
_________________________
*Pros concerning wilderness:
-Players can get the "Thrill" of being able to lose your items as well as gaining your enemies.
-Newer players can experience what it was like before the update in '07
~Cons concerning wilderness:
*all of which can be fixed with selective worlds*
-Players would have to be careful clue scrolling in wilderness with PKers out there.
-Players can lose their items to another, which in some cases makes them feel bad... lol.
In other words, don't bring 400m equipment into the wily because you feel like it, then cry and complain when you get rocked by a lvl 137.
__________________
A Solution to the crazy prices would be to add an Auction house, so that way players could then buy and sell at their own prices, while being able to look at all the available options.
As for the wilderness, a "Toggle PvP" option would be best as it would enable players to venture into the wilderness without the fear of getting PKed.

Dear Jagex,
I'm going to be quite short about this. I hope that you will bear the burden from whatever decision you'll take, and that you'll stick to it.
At this point, I'm honestly fearing the worst since, whatever scenario will happen, people will lose.
I'm not looking forward to bots, neither to dozens of people complaining every minute of the day.
I'm looking forward to giving my friends a present again, but not feeling very safe with the increase of hackers.
I'd like to end with ; I seriously hope that in 5 years RS still exists, and that I'm still able to play it. That Jagex didn't die because of some silly decision, which looked like something very profitable short-term.
Anyhow, good luck!
~ S

Where is the old Runescape..... Everything used to be very hard which made the game fun and made us many goals.... It was hard to make money and nowadays i can go to corp and just earn 500m which is very much and makes the game very boring and easy..... Old Wildy,Duel arena and Free Trade is not the only thing i miss I even miss the old log in page.. seriously the runescape nowadays is very over reacted.... Jagex if u over react, the game will be more and more boring.. I hope u will finally bring back the old wildy,duel arena and free trade which will be a very big present for all of us, Oh and many of my old shcool friends told me they will be back to rs, Many old clans will be reopening... the clan world will be very active then, But if the old wildy wont return many members from my clan and i will just quit rs.
Btw when is the end date for the new poll?

i HATE, repeat HATE kids like you slyfer and kickium..this is how runescape was and how it should of stayed. there are only a few logical reasons why you wouldnt want such things back. and those are either YOU have been scammed, Killed while not pking, new to the game, or simply scared all your 'valuable' items are gonna drop in price. Things that revolve around YOU..jagex may care what kids like you think, but the other 90% of us dont. you're annoying and simply in the way of something that was taken away from US..oldschool players, pkers, stakers and everyone who voted yes. all i have to say is forget you and your opinions if you vote no. as for those of you who voted yes, your GOD.
Vote yes, don't be a loser.
