First off, the wilderness has restrictions to make it not completely unfair (eg a lvl 120 attacking a lvl 70). And I think that Runescape is nothing at all like earth; the analogy was strechted. Runescape is a computer game, not like real life. If real life were like runescape, there would be certain areas where anyone can kill anyone close to their age. And I'm fine with 'ermerging gameplay,' just so long as it doesn't change the game to a point where it doesn't become fun. Such as people realizing that they can sell massive amounts of logs to a person who has merchanted enough money to buy the game, so they make a bot to make them some money. This ruins the game for me, as it creates unnecessary competition for recourses such as yew longs, coal ore, and other things. Sure these people are starting a 'company' and hiring 'employees,' but in the end, it makes it hard to walk down the runescape street without being called a noob for my lack of money. Back when I started playing runescape, someone my level would have about as much money as I have now. So as long as your 'emergent gameplay' doesn't change the point (such as myself being harrassed for spending time on leveling, which the game was made for, and not making 4 billion) or fun of the game, I'm fine with it.
