Donkeykong23 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I wonder if this will count for deaths. Looting dead bodies was amazing, but since there's graves I bet they won't change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Weve been shutting down bot-makers all around the world Could you stop that because it's only making the botting population explode. :thumbdown: I won't vote because I don't want "the old" Wilderness back.

Ginger_Warrior Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 good to see that tip it has put up a nice announcement trying to encourage people to vote for RWTersWhich announcement is this? The Editorial recruitment drive? I've spent a fair few hours in my time criticising the Tip.It Times Editorial panel's standards but I'll hold off accusing them of RWT! :razz: | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zygimantas Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Can't stand the thought of a return to the days of free trade, the original wildy or the problems associated with it, make sure you get everyone who feels the same way to boycott this vote. If the majority of players don't vote in favour Jagex won't bring it back. Will the silence be deafening? Haha, Jagex wants boycotts? Gotta love Jagex, its like they are trying to stir up controversy :lol: 99 Hunter - November 1st, 200899 Cooking -July 22nd, 200999 Firemaking - July 29th, 201099 Fletching - December 30th, 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clan_Chat_Op Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Wow, I can't vote no... awesome. Wilderness and free pk is the plague of runescape. I like how all those "pkers" are thrown into their own servers where they can rot and 76k or whatever they do. Curious of what "free trade" will do to all the rare prices though..... will the GE still be in effect? I skill. If you skill you should join.

In the image I posted a few posts up, Mod Mark clarified that there won't be any gravestones in the Wilderness. But I mean in other places around the map. Like people die all the time in barrows or GWD, and if they brought back death loot, GWD prices would go up I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peronix Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Looking at the goings on today I've come up with a theory as to what Jagex has planned: This vote is only a preliminary vote, not a final decision. Why you ask? Well looking at TIF's vote on this thread it's quite clear that the RS community as it is now is pretty much 50/50 on this issue. Or 60/40... whatever. But you have to consider that a LOT of people quit following the 2007 updates. There used to be a lot more people online during peak hours prior to that. So perhaps this vote is just to get the attention of the entire runescape community, including those who quit, so this issue can be taken to a PROPER vote. The networking site links along with the encouragement to spread the word indicates to me that this might just be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious of what "free trade" will do to all the rare prices though..... will the GE still be in effect? Just because you're not a pker doesn't mean it's bad. A lot of us enjoyed it. Also, 76kers are usually not pkers... You're the plague of runescape. And what the [bleep] is with the "they can rot or 76k or whatever they do" statement? Are you flipping [developmentally delayed]ed? Three months banishment to 9gag is something i would never wish upon anybody, not even my worst enemy.

LatinII Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'm a little worried. Remember what Paul said when free trading first got removed? He said that they had to either leave RWT as it was and shut the game down in a year, or undertake action against them and let the game live on for another six years or so. Now Jagex is handing out $10000 and bringing back free trading... I don't want 2011 to be RuneScape's final year, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ts_Stormrage Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Lemmy get one thing straight: I do not wish to change wildy. Things are fine the way they are if you ask me, except for the droptable of the PVP worlds... And while I have a sig that encourages free trade; I do enjoy the trade limits to some extend (sometimes they are neccisary to prevent scaming), as the limits are broad enough for anyone to trade with normally... So, you would expect me to vote no... (or not at all in this case) Now let me show you a few pics: Or how about this one Now, I already didn't like the fact that bots do not get banned instantly anymore, but instead get their stuff (XP/GP) removed... I couldn't even understand the decision to do this...Jagex' line of reasoning that people who normally get banned for cheating, and who now will not be... They say it saves money as more people will remain a customer, and at the same time give people a 2nd chance when they've somehow been lured into botting, or are doing it by accident... By accident? What... You tripped, landed on the exact keys on your keyboard and in falling down further you managed to click everything properly? GTFO... But ok... Money is tight (thats why they are giving away $120,000!!!), so I get the 2nd chance thing... But wouldn't all the peope that are now hired to make the call to decide between perm/temp ban, and wether or not to get stuff/xp removed from the account, and how much of each, cost WAY WAY more then a simple (and understandible) rule: Bot is ban! No, do not give me any excuses on "what if my account got hacked!"...1. There is no such thing as your account being hacked... Rule 1 of the internet is that you must learn to work with your computer before connecting it to anyone elses... So if your computer is unsafe, its your own damn fault...2. In most (all) cases, people have given out their password to someone else, or went onto a site promissing mountains of gold and they got keylogged... Again; your stupid mistake... So if the person on your account botted, you lose your account...3. There is no 3... These are the only options on how someone could possibly get on your account... And now this... A newspost in which they say "Hey guys, our previous anti-RWT and bot-fighting game adaptions didn't work (gee, the rune/pure essence seperation wasn't obvious enough for you?), so we're goign to give that up completely"... One passage in particular of that newspost is what got to me: We’ve been shutting down bot-makers all around the world and prosecuting people for stealing accounts' date=' and we’ve evolved our systems to quickly detect cheating; however, we will have to accept that we will never completely eradicate cheating so long as there is an incentive and method to do so. Bringing back free trade and the original Wilderness will certainly make this a bigger issue than it is today, though I can pledge that we will never stop trying to combat it.[/quote'] Let me try to translate it:"We're going to let you vote on the thing some of you have always wanted back, even if it helps botting and RWT run rampant throughout the game once more... We know it hurts, dissapoints, and frankly p*sses you honest players off, but at least almost everyone got what they wanted, right? Oh btw, you don't need to register to vote, just put an X here... And you can't vote 'no' ..." Dear Jagex...Do not forget who put you into that Guiness Book of Records... It wasn't the bots or those who controlled them... It wasn't the people that tried to earn a living playing your game...It was us honest players, who enjoyed it for as long as we could... We were the ones that were drawn to you when you named and shamed cheaters, and put them in the pillory for us, in an attempt to keep this game free of those cheaters... You tried to fight them and failed on many occasions, but fight them you did... That is what we admired... This is what has drawn us to the game... Undo your own work at your own peril...

pgmr185 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Nothing says that the GE will go away. It can continue the way it is, or give "suggested values" but let you sell/buy for whatever you want. The thing about this that I'll really, really enjoy is when the people with rares "worth" billions of coins actually try to sell them for what they think they are worth. The sound of people crashing to reality will be deafening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will H Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Shouldn't this be part of the existing threads regarding the vote on free trade/wilderness?

Vex Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 The only difference free trade will bring is the bots will be there to farm gold, not to level stats then sell the account.
