Dear JAGEX,
if you hear all the skillers, please bring the trading post back. It was the only way for skillers to sell their production without loosing money. I can only see GEX as a help for combaters that wish to buy supplies fast and cheap and for bot merchants who make the prices fluctuate. Thus, the skillers that made living from non-combat skilling now have no choice how to make profit but to become combaters. The skillers are left aside and nobody wants to hear their voice.
Is skilling just about gathering resources? What about herblore, smithing, cooking and so on? For instance, do you steal herbs seeds from master farmer, then sow them, then pick herbs, then add them to potions? No, you just buy herbs and 2nd ingredients and make potions+ gain herblore xp. Then you could sell them for profit. Now with GEX we have herb, 2nd ingredient and potion prices adjusted : herb price + 2nd price >> potion price. So you either gather your own resources or loose money by leveling up herblore. It's the same with smith, cooking, fletch, ect. With trading post you could sell: herb price + 2nd price << potion price, because there were allways few guys selling stuff for lower price, but their private chat used to be off, so people bought stuff for higher prices.
So I dont want Runescape to be like: pay for skilling or gather your own. Its interesting to gather when you are low level and you need small amounts. But what about 10k yew logs to get few fletching levels at higher levels? By the way, for gathering there is allways an IRON MAN mode!
As I said before, GEX is favourable for combaters.
Strongly disagree to GEX. Ruined my joy of skilling.
GEX kills skillers.
