Well, for those of you complaining about the old wild ruining your silly little clues and quests, here goes:
-ATLEAST READ WHAT JAGEX SAID-
Jagex said that if the old wild was to be re-established, that they would move corp, clan wars, look on clues on individual basis to see if they should be moved or not, and guess what? in old runescape, if you had a clue that led to the wild, it was part of the treasure hunt!
Clues in the wild are meant to be dangerous!! the wild is not meant to be a safe haven!!
Establishing the old wild and free trade will GREATLY help the economy for those of you saying it will not.
Why? THE PRICE CEILING AND PRICE FLOORING WILL BE REMOVED.
Just like in real life, when the economy is left alone, it blossoms and prospers.
The bot problem.
Jagex didn't have as large of a staff as they do now back then. They couldn't combat the bots and didn't have up-to-date methods of dealing with them, which now they do!
If you're complaining about yew tree's being botted, well guess what! go to green dragons at any world at any place, and it will be PACKED with BOTS!!!
The addition to the wilderness back into the game will prevent people from botting dragons. IF they do bot dragons, you will find people like me killing them (:!
The Grand Exchange:
Because of free trade, "merch clans" will be ruined. The price ceiling and price flooring (max and min prices) of GE will be removed, so if one intends to "buy out" an item, players can still buy that item without having to pay 2b for a divine buying junk, they can pay 1b or so without junk. (Just an example, not actual prices).
In conclusion, the update back then was needed, but with the current improvements jagex has made, as a 9 year 8 month veteran of runescape, i FULLY support this update.
