Yay, 90% Yes. :P

? Also, Rofl @ ur name :-P

And also; there are more bots Nowadays than back then. Maybe more yew botters back in the days, but go to red chins or sw and youll see :o

In this case, his arrogance is of more importance looking at then my bleep's.

Perfectly said.

I find it weird how I find 1 person who voted Yes on this thread after like 30 No's, while 90% clearly voted Yes.

Lol! :D Indeed

If the economy fails, what is the point in loot-on-death pvp? Let's not fool ourselves. Maybe, but I seriously don't see the game being "worse" pre-2008. IMO whats the problem with bringing old wilderness/free trade back. THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS IN 2007. Well, not significantly more/less then now. Lets put it this way; in 2007 the game was running fine; and maybe more bots, but more happy players then nowadays.

Even if there are 1 itemers, teleporters, etc, it will be 10x better then today's stuff going on in PvP..so ya.

Technically that's real world trading and will still be against the rules. Not sure quite how jagex would tell but against the rules none the less. Oh noes! :ohnoes: Lol @ how the smiley is also called ohnoes xD

? :P http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Bone_Yard Wow, Shows how long I've been playing :shades: O yh i remember training Prayer there back in 06, rofl:P

You'll get used to it ;) Doubtful, I preferred the Revs over pkers/wannabe pkers any day. Lmao you know how PvP world kids are 10x more immature then the 2007 PKing community? If I walk from varrock big bank to G.E w/o wearing anything or carrying anything, theres always some nerd[bleep] who wastes a barrage and clawspecs on me :thumbdown:

? :P

Each to their own, but my idea of having fun in this game doesn't include spending a potential great deal of time, standing around in a bank typing over and over again to buy or sell. I would rather do something else more productive, like leveling a skill. As I mentioned, this does not preclude the fact that I may try pvp trading to sell expensive items. So, I would be happy to see the Grand Exchange continue to function properly, albeit it with the price caps removed. With the use of it, you can reach across all the worlds, not just the one you're in. So, to my mind, it just makes good sense. Got a point there :P But imo: less botting with free trade, because nowadays someone for example creates a f2p pure, bots it to 60 wc at willows, then cuts yews till like 85. Boom, good starting pk cash. With freetrade, one can just give that cash to his pure account via his main; faster.

From Jagex's own words: Simply put, free trading made it easier or more desireable to bot on spares. That is not a reason to abandon hope that free trade coming back will have the same issues as the old days had. If anything, I think it's going to put more pressure on them to be faster and crack down ten times harder because of it. And in doing so, we stand a chance of having a balanced game that offers equal opportunity for both the skiller and the pker. Now that's something I don't understand, since most people bot their pures to a small 10m cash by cutting yews or mining rune ess, and now you will be able to just transfer 10m from your main.. = less bots imo?

Seems like nobody is going to answer; why the hell has free trade/old wilderness something to do with botting actually?

Jagex of course knows this. They're asking the community if we want the wilderness and free trade back, even at the cost of increased gold farming, botting and cheating. They're saying they will try to stop it, but they as know as well as we do that they are ultimately powerless against it. I actually have a question. HOW and WHY would free trade/old wilderness increase botting for hells sake?!!?!?

RS wasn't meant to be easy, just going to the G.E, typing in what you want, and getting it.

^ :wall:

Only one talking sence in here is Mywep0nsgood, nuff said...

Actually you should go to Rimmington yews in a f2p world and count the bots. DEFINITELY MORE THAN IN 2007.

Well, I would argue that fansites like tipit are the 'educated' community and the mindless hoards of pures / children / noobs are just following the 'mob mentality' and going along with what everone else says without thinking about what would be best for the continuity of the game. From what I've seen here and heard about similar polls on fansites, the 'educated' players seem to be 60% for, 40% against which is far from the "vast majority" Jagex was looking for. I guess everyone should be considered part of the RS community. But even if you just look at RSOF, the people who use punctuation, capitals, sentence structure are generally agaisnt it and 'da ppl hu tak like dis' are for it. I'm talking in general, there are crossovers. I guess this is the sort of community we get when most players are just 14 year old boys :rolleyes: Bro, it is incredibly rude of you to consider your part of the population any better than the other population. Before the updates in 07 I was part of several groups of PKing pures, and most of the community is highly intelligent. They just value different things than you do. However, I guess I can't blame you for thinking that they are "stupid" or "immature". It is in human nature to call different cultures "less advanced" or "less intelligent". It happened when Europeans observed African culture, it happened when Americans observed Vietnamese culture, and it currently happens when hearing people observe Deaf culture. People look at these different cultures and think "Man, these people dont know anything! Theyre not as good as I am." The PKing community thinks the same way about communities like tip.it, that we are immature, dont know what is good about the game, etc... It is a typical clash of cultures. Couldn't have said better or even equally for sure. Actually a post making sense. :thumbup:
