Slightly off-topic, but they did when I became Crew. :blink: Nice blog Kaida, it was a fun read. :) I have also done 1-99 mining entirely in F2p a few years ago (in the Mining guild while I superheated), and I'm glad to see people enjoying the skill enough to do it without LRC still. :thumbsup:

Please read my post again, because you appear to have missed my point still. I do not want things "easier." Nor am I a "09 product" having played this game for 8 years. What I am saying is that there is no direct reason why it should be the way it is whilst (if you actually trust the vote to be accurate) 10% of players preferred the semi-dangerous wilderness. I don't give a rat's ass about how dangerous pkers are, or aren't. I don't like being bothered by people when they know I'm not interested in fighting them. They flame and curse and generally have a bad attitude when I "escape" them. Unfortunately for me, revenants were more understanding. That can happen just fine without free trade. People got phased by "friends" back then too, only now it's increased into the ridicule. Yet you see one of the good things about free trade your ability to give people expensive items (trade limits between friends were well over 200k/15 minutes before). How does that work with your not trusting anyone, exactly? I believe prevention is better, and trade restrictions protected those less intelligent and younger players. Getting scammed and hacked on RuneScape does not guarantee people learn to such an extend that they won't have their identity stolen in the future either. It also encourages victims to try the same on others. As such, more people get cheated by others and the community stands to suffer due to mistrust and negativity. Like I said, you're still missing the point. I idle a lot. It's what I do, and when I'm in the wilderness I idle too. I'm the kind of player that does a lot of other things at the same time, while playing, and I don't want to be forced to stare at my rs window continuously while roaming places in fear of some random person attacking me. It's a different playing style, which most of my friends also apply. I don't see what would be so wrong with having one or two worlds with revenants, as it has been that way for the past few years. Opinion noted. I'll refrain from correcting the issues of the above statement and move on. My internet is much faster than that of the vast majority people (if you believe speednet). I don't usually lag, but several of my friends do whenever they get near any grand exchange, to such an extend that they disconnect. What? Yes they do, yes I did mention them as those have undergone a huge increase as well, yes F2p players do cut yews for money, and even the "noobier" P2p players do. The other points I have addressed previously. Edit: I'm not saying anything should be changed back or whatever. I'm just not content with the current situation.

You're missing the point. I don't find it "hard" and don't want it "easy." People can't seem to kill me, but that doesn't make me any happier about having to flee them. I don't see the harm in certain worlds having revs again, so I can idle about in the wilderness like I used to. It's the way I, and many others, play. If players want to pk each other in the wilderness they can do that in the other 99% of worlds. Another wonderful thing about the current wilderness are the lurers and scammers that lure the less intelligent players into the wilderness with teleothers and whatnot to "scam" them out of their items. The amount of phasers and hackers increased tremendously too. It's not just a few RWT spammers, but I don't even care about any of that, since as like you so kindly pointed out, I cannot play the game I want. Effects. Affects is something entirely different. I do have my public chat on friends, but that doesn't mean the amount of spam won't make people lag, chase away new players, and the likes. Spammers are the least annoying of the bots, and I'd say the idiotic amount of resource and creature hugging bots are much worse. Before the free trade "update" I was rarely to never bothered by bots. Now I am. That is change, for the worse. Where there was a very small problem that did not bother me, there now is a out-of-control problem that bugs me right about every second I spend in-game. Anyone who doesn't have access to Kuradel's dungeon can't even kill a blue dragon because of them. Cutting yews and the likes is like it was before the trade restrictions. These are players that transfer stuff from their bots to their accounts, while others get cheated out of their resources. What was so terrible about restricted trade again? You keep referring to effects: what effects?

Effects. Eh, having ignored most of the bot threads/rants and whatnot, why would the idiotic amount of botting and spamming not justify the effects of restricted trade? Also, why can't we have worlds with the "old new wilderness" in it? I don't like pkers. <_< Wilderness was never meant to be safe, just because Jagex failed to make rev's as dangerous as pkers doesnt mean you should use it as an excuse for safe wilderness. On a side note though the wilderness is dead empty on 90% of the worlds anyways so its not like you will be getting messed with by pkers normally anyways, and go back to the old days of logging out upon seeing a white dot It's a game, and they've had the wilderness that way for years. I don't give a cabbage about whether or not they meant for revs to be as dangerous as pkers, to be honest. I want to have the choice to do treasure trails and such without having others bug me. Just as you want to have the ability to kill other players and other players want to kill you, there is (probably a minority) group of players that don't want that. I don't want to have to go out of my way to avoid pkers, who do roam the "emptier" worlds, as they used to. Anyhow, what was so terrible about the trade restrictions that makes the current amount of bots and rwt crap an improvement? Personally I don't see it. You can argue there were bots before, but like this? I don't even have my public chat on anymore. Not to mention the swarms of bots at turoths, fishing spots, yews and whatnot. It seems bots more than quadrupled.

This. It doesn't actually matter though. The whole voting thing was nothing but a charade. Jagex had planned to return it long before that, since it took them mere weeks to actually do it (and it takes a lot more time than that). Personally I hate the wilderness with pkers. I don't pk and don't want others to try and kill me. They never actually succeed (so far), but I despise the fact that I have to "flee" people when going about my business. You just raped OE.

Banned because the truth can hurt. One of my flaws is that I tend to be too honest sometimes, and that's what I did there. You can always be happy and remove the negativity. :rolleyes:

I don't save anything in Jpeg, the images that I have sigged were taken by others and I was too lazy to convert them to something proper. xD Banned for being stalked by Wingless.
