I'm afraid you haven't seen the prices when people were trading them in world 1/2. No man could affect prices back then as merch clans affect them. Basicly, now you have to have a group of people who holds a huge amount of cash to affect the prices in GE as it only responds to quantity demanded and quantity supplied. Free trade is much better, believe me. People, who hold a lot of money in their hands will be afraid to try affect the economy in any way when it's uncertain if people WILL HAVE TO buy their stuff at their price. There are a lot of reasons why GE is not such a good system and why free trade should help it.

Why not change the pvp worlds into how wildy was back then?
The we would see how crowded those worlds will be before forcing it upon everyone?
I think I was only up in wildy to get to the abyss in the "old days". The few times I did it I was not bothered by pkers. Had read about the "death alley" being Edgeville to the zammy mage but did not see any that was in the range of my combat lvl.
I suppose the matching of combat lvl will still stay the way it is.
What I think is sad is if the ability to scam 10-15 year old players comes back. Several people tried to scam me in the "good old days" but it is not that easy to trick us "older" players. Sad to say, my son got scammed twice... In two different ways. He learnt the hard way and I just do not fancy the idea that scamming will be back in rs.
Yea, yea, yea I know what you will say. Life is tough... etc etc etc. But still, decent people do not scam other people. Not in a game, not in real life.

I too played runescape back then, and the things I said were a problem, because you could not respect someone for their wealth or skills, as they could have got it any way, with limited effort and skill.
You said yourself "When these awful updates struck Runescape, there was a birthday of my friend in a few weeks and I was hoping to give him a pressie in Runescape worth something like 10m." Your friend may have been seen as rich, but I would have had no respect for that, because he just got it as a freebee off you.
These days if I see a player with 10mil, or something worth that I know they have worked hard in merching, or monster killing, or skills to be able to get that, and so the items can actually be respected!

The percentages dont lie...they haven't moved for a good day now. Even though the votes are still piling in. It is clear the old wild and free trade should be brought back.
It's what the majority want!
bring back free trade and old wild!

I don't think Scamming is a problem, Most players are smart enough to know if they're being ripped off + When you think about it, with the G.E introduced, Players lose out on a lot more money than they usto, with price drops & increases + Merch teams dumping items early and making players lose out on millions?

Satanist Im afraid I have seen them since I've played since 2004
And when will "update" be out?
October 2011 at the earliest. It is going to take a long of work to redo everything (quests mostly), not to mention discuss what they will allow and not allow into the Wilderness (i.e. Overloads). Jagex might even have to employ more developers purely for this project to keep up with the status quo with content.
That is what forum mod Strings Mas said

The percentages have not moved since the polled opened.... After 24.000 votes it was at 90/8/2 and it is still at 90/8/2 after well over 400.000 votes. It seems unlikely that there would be no shift whatsoever during the time of the poll.... Now it should be unlikely to change.
