Bring back the old wilderness!

Well, well. This update is rather puzzling for me. It seems rather unusual to me that Jagex would open such an unsecure and flawed voting system for something that's clearly wanted by a large majority of players.

Let's take a look at this.. Since the release of the Quick Polls option on the Front Page (which asks for no account details), Jagex have never released a poll which does not require a player to login in order to vote. The fact that there's little to no security as to which accounts vote makes this whole process seem very unusual, e.g. I can easily place a vote for virtually any RuneScape account in existence even if the original owner doesn't want the update to go ahead.. Puzzling, no?

Secondly, there's only one voting option? I would have thought that if Jagex were to do a 'poll' they'd effectively have more than 1 option available to players? What about those Players who may oppose this update? There's nowhere for them to voice their opinion. Once again, another very non-Jagex-like thing to do.

Finally, why hold a poll? It's clear that the majority of players would want this to return. Vote or no vote, I thought this would have been pretty clear to Jagex.

All in all this whole 'voting' system seems a little bizarre to me. There's obviously been the rumours that it's all for a World Record, etc, but there's really no proof of that. The way I see it, Jagex have already made up there mind that the Wilderness and Free Trade will be returning, but simply want to earn brownie points with Players. Silly, silly.
