Shouldn't Jagex be thinking about bringing the wildy back?Because whether you like it or not Pking supplies demand HAS gone down. I mean if they really listened to the players instead of worrying about(real world) money and trying to save the game from hackers. I mean we all realise WHY the wilderness was removed by jagex right? To DESTROY bots and hackers. Which proves that jagex would rather delete something for the sake of the company and the game, not the people and the games economy. So If you think about it the answer to the question at the top is no. Jagex has done what theyve always wanted to do, kill bots  and in with the bots went the game.

IT'S called a runescape private server, that have fast leveling and pking

I have a runescape private server called "Ultimate Scape" its offline and will be for along time.

and then theres a runescape private server called "frugooscape" (you can search it on google) Frugooscape has PKING and other things like cheat commands and stuff check it out!

But there is a econemy its called working for it by doing a skill, like...fishing, woodcuting, ext..

  I'm not going to even read this thread.  The title was enough.

  That statement is wrong.  The TRUTH would be:

  No decay = No economy

  Granted, full loot PK does move items from one player to another in a way in that ensures the PKer will most likely sell over half the items obtained.  This is one form of decay, an instant one.   There are many ways to issue a decay, however, that do not have anything to DO with PvP at all.  So long as decay exists, an fluid economy will as well.

  If you'd like, OP, I will discuss many of the options available for decay to help prove this point.  However, until then, I'm going to assume that you are clever enough to come up with enough on your own and not demean your intelligence by throwing some 5th grade level concepts at you.  I sort of guessed that you simply liked the simplicity of the PK decay and the advantages it brings to a team trying to make an economy.  I would remind you that, while there are advantages to the dev, the player suffers little more than hindrance from it.

  In a perfect game, a balance would be struck between natural decay, combat decay, and player decay in such a way as to not render the game to a state that found most new players unhappy.

Yea you can gather raw material all you want, but the only reason most materials you got through skills were in demand was because they were needed for pking.  Now without pking most of those materials aren't needed anymore, and the ones that are needed can't be sold because of the trade limit.  How can you expect to have an economy with a HUGE limit on what you can trade.  And don't say the GE because that is just a joke.  Prices have changed so much for useless materials since its implemation.  So yea, pretty much the economy is screwed.

I disagree, they still buy those materials for duel arena, fight pits, bounty hunter, clan wars etc so it hasn't been affected much. And the GE isn't a joke, it means you can buy something from all servers and you can buy and sell at anytime. Lot's of people use it. Although there are some prices that need fixing on it.

Not near in the quantities they used to. Fight pits = you do not lose armor, Bounty hunter= they don't bother wearing armor, clan wars = they don;t lose armor. soo in otherwords if you were 99 smithing prior to the updates, and pumping out thousands of rune sets a day, and selling them you have no reason to sell them instead of just letting someone alch them for you because there is no longer a demand for your items and the price has dropped to around alch level.. oh yea you can;t let them alch for you anymore for free mage levels. DOH! I used to have people alching for me nonstop.. too bad I can;t even give people free mage levels anymore=x.

Not everyone like to spend hours and hours trying to get your level up. Why would you even want money in rs anyways. There is no real point in that without the wildy. Oh, I know. You can spend hours and hours fighting the same NPC that has predictable AI and that does nothing but walk around. Yeah thats how a lot of people like to spend their time.

I played longer than you did ... LOL. I Had maxed stats in everything I wanted to max on more than one account. I had the abilities to produce everything in the game that was player made, and I had killed every monster in the game, had pked in every area in the game, did every quest, did mass clan wars, did every mini game..  Owned every item in the game and guess what... IT ALL BLOWS!.. It was entirely a waste of time. There are no rewards for your efforts. You feel dissappointed when you get there because they do not reward you there is only more suffering. Seriously you think it is fun to mass produce the same thing over and over again? Are you obsessive compluslive and stand there at a light switch turning it off and on for  hours? Because that is basiaclly what you are seriously telling people to do .. I mean standing there doing the same thing over and over and over again for no apparent reason or any reward worth it is definately not fun, challenging, exciting or fulfiiling. 

The whole point of this game now is to stockpile poorly drawn pixel crap so you can run around dressed like princess barbie telling everyone " look I am the biggest N00b! F34R MY N00BN355!"  Before you could actually have people help you and you could help them so at least there was a purpose for you efforts, now there is no purpose. You can't even give the crap away, you can't make free runes for friends, make free armor for friends, give them free sharks, so all you can do with the crap is stockpile it.. I don;t have a use for that.  Some people I guess think that  stockpiling useless junk is fun .. but I for one am not one of them.
