Since wilderness and free trade are being discussed, what's going to happen to RS gold things that were initially made to replace it? Quick history lesson... GE- was created around a month before the infamous updates to substitute free trade. Ancient warriors equipment- was originally made to be similar to statuettes, beacuse the pvp drops were soo bad back then, they made early warriors equipments that a fortune drop too so that you had a chance to receive them and earn money (the economy at the time was exceptionally reduced )

Statuettes- Introduced with the new bounty hunter system, these statuettes gave a hope for great loots and decent cash for pkers. Estimated potential- Introduced with the brand new bounty hunter program, it gave people a sense of their chances of great loot. Pvp worlds-Were made to replace the old bounty hunter, initially had several worlds but then has now been cut down to quite few worlds. Hotspots- Places in which loot had been'kinder' into the participant.

Clan Wars- A number of the first minigames for f2p, replaced large wilderness fights for clans, use to be huge till jagex fail upgraded it. New Bounty Hunter- After several months of pvp, jagex made loot kinder and introduced a new means to pk. FFA arenas- Possibly the most useless thing in Runescapethis upgrade came in a bundle that ruined clan wars forever, it managed to reduce the number of people there and make it a general more boring encounter. Do not get me started on the dangerous stadium.

Ask assist- Was made after we could not trade items to make into various kinds; e.g. smithing armour for low levels, air/law/etc rune running. Capped Trading- Straight forward, will probably be rendered useless when the updates do go ahead. Gravestones- Were created so people couldnt commerce from deaths, and let people regain things. DA tournaments- Was made to bring back staking, fails poorly even following the upgrades. Revenants- Created to substitute pkers, people complained because they had been too strong, but they're pathetic. Proof that Jagex does remove content...

Old Bounty Hunter- Was one of the first new methods of pking, a crater appeared from out of space and occurred to crush all the wildy, old pking areas like the major bone, and little bone yard were destroyed; # on your post if you read so way. Pvp worlds- They've decreased pvp worlds over the years to only around two. DA championships - The old one was removed, but replaced with some shizzlety crap, which also fails equally as much. Things that got nullified after the upgrades. Player owned shops- Shop sections of forums, companies use to flourish money making for a lot of people. Rune running- Use to be a good way for cheap RuneScape gold folks to make money, natures, laws, airs, etc.. Trading- Self explanitory. Pking- Self explanitory. Still possible only crap now. Trading hotspots- Varrock, Falador, all the first five worlds were constantly packed in areas for dealers, different areas different items.
