When everyone things of runescape's good old days, one thing usually comes to mind:
The Wildy and free trade.
Jagex later removed these aspects of the the game due to various reasons. Scamming, miners getting pked, and much more. Soon, they were faced with outrage from the runescape community. Now, they've brought back the "good old days".
The Wildy is a pvp zone once again, and when there's pvp there will be Pures. For those of you who don't know what Pures are ill give you a quick break down:
Normal players have balanced stats. (we'll focus only on attack, defence, and strength, although prayer, magic, and range also come into play):
Normal player with balanced stats:
Attack: 10
Defense: 10
Strength: 10
Pretty decent stats. Let's say they have a combat level of 15. Now let's look at a Pures stats:
Attack: 10
Defense: 1
Strength: 20
As you can see above, Pures never train their defences. However with high strength, a pure can hit very hard. Now suppose our balanced player and the pure fought. The pure would easily kill the balanced player before the balances player had a chance to deal any good damage.
(for more info on Pures you can find tons of stuff on Google)
However with great power, comes great risk. Pures are limited to weak armour, constant need for food, and usually the need to pk in teams with other Pures. But aside from all that Pures are very valuable. They are the type of players that can kill balanced players who have much higher combat levels.
In conclusion, Pures are the players that rule the Wildy, and due to the return of the original wilderness, it is helpful to have a pure account so you don't get slayed the second you enter the Wildy. Pures now have a large population. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.
