@Vafvau and
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

Smiting whips
Harassing the nubs killing green drags
Killing someone for full dharoks and getting everything as loot... not a rune hasta and tuna ******* potatoes
When pures would swarm rock crabs in every world training
When f2p pking was a blast. hill giants ftw
The BONE YARD (08ers you won't know what this is)
Owning rune miners lol

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

I would like all the people that keep whining about the vote being unfair or rigged to realise that back in 2007, WE DIDN'T EVEN GET A VOTE. Quit complaining, skillers. If they gave us a vote back in 2007, you wouldn't even have the 3 years of "your way". Be grateful you even had that time to begin with... And go back to doing clues and crap the old fashioned way.

If you get rip-off or killed in wilderness, it's your own fault. You gotta be morem responsibe for yourself nowadays.
With this update, jagex might lose 10k players, but they will gain 200k players back

People can still fight green dragons even in the old wildy, why can't you? Because you are handicapped? Well maybe you rely on the Jagex too much. The world nowadays is not as easy as the world 10 years ago. There are full of gangasters and scams. It's just all about how you protect yourself and avoid from being scammed. If you are not blind, you can double check before accepting a trade. There is two trade screen windows. First one you can modify your trade and second one is to confirm. Why can't you confirm if that is what you want before you click the accept button? I believe you are not that stupid.
And why can't you use the chaos tunnel to kill green dragons instead? Because you are a level3 ? Good for you ! you are a level 3!

why can't free trade and wildy be seperated??
i voted for "don't mind" but I'ld like to vote "yes" to free trade and "no" to wildy..
I hate PVP and feel it should be kept in certain worlds only. on the other hand, i feel the current trade system makes some objects more/less valuable/trade-able.

I'm going to repeat what I said in the other thread.
I am glad that Jagex is listening to players, but there really should be more than the 3 options given.
There should be individual votes or choices for free trade and the wilderness not just both together.
I'm sure there are many people who want one back but not the other.
Please, take this into consideration.
To any who may reply negatively to this post, note that I did not state what I would vote for.

I feel as though Runescape has gotten easier over the years since they took away the wilderness and free trade. I miss the old days with fletching guilds and whatnot. There was especially a lot more activity on the forums. Everyone had a purpose to have friends, not just for socializing. I feel as though if they bring back free trade and the wilderness, it wouldn't just be about that. It'd be about trust, tears, learning, and definitely a lot more freedom. I feel as though if you don't vote yes to this, then you're afraid of the freedom that's being given to you. I strongly believe if Jagex was not ready for the changes, they wouldn't have set it out in the open.
It's not all about the pkers or the merchants, it's also about people in general. Friends become more valuable as do your skills.
Will you get scammed? Maybe, it's a learning experience.
Will forum activity expand? Yes
Hacking? Depends on if you get a keylogger and other little things that may happen. Otherwise, the name changing update covers that really well.
Gold Farming/Botting? As I said before, if Jagex wasn't ready for this, they wouldn't have set up the option for this update.
I'm not entirely sure what you see that is so bad in this update. Scamming, gold farming, botting, hacking, etc. are all covered really. GE may even be used more than ever. I have no idea why it would be "extinct" if they're taking out the highest and lowest options.
I'm not sure. I definitely voted yes for this because I have faith Jagex knows what they're doing and really miss those days of thrill stepping into the wilderness and being able to give my friends items.
