If free trade and the wild are brought back, Runescape will at least be close to the game it used to be. The whole beauty of it was that it had bad graphics, tons of botters, scammers, and hackers. It was a free for all, that's what made Runescape awesome for me. Now they have improved graphics and restricted trading (hopefully for not much longer though) and gotten really strict on other similer things; so it will at least be getting closer to the genius game it used to be.
If they put it on a new engine, and altered the controls to WSAD format (like WoW) it would be a legitimate game. But right now it's a point-and-click game with improved graphics that still runs out of your browser and that just doesn't light my fire.
