I decided to post this in the topic, to see if other people might agree with me on this idea. Feedback would be heavily appreciated
A modified form of the Grand exchange.
Many players are asking for a Grand exchange, but what exactly do most people want? Convenience. Having to spam World 1 for 30-60 minutes, just to get some simple combat-supplies, is ridiculous. It was nostalgic at first (absolutely), but that went away real quickly for a lot of people.
However, a grand exchange (like in pre-eoc) would require a complete setup of item-prices that automatically update and that huge trading-area.
That's simply too much work for you guys, both graphically and technically.
Not to forget that a full-blown Grand Exchange would also give access to 'merch clans' to collectively drive up the prices. All-in-all a bad situation that requires too much work.
However, it is possible to give us players what we want without the bad things happening. And the solution is quite simple:
What do we want? Convenience. The ability to put an offer into the GE (search an item -> click it -> select price/quantity), and wait for it to come in.
The way this can be done, in its most simplified form, is to make a little booth (with an npc behind it, maybe) that will allow you to put in offers (buy/sell) at your own given price. These offers will sit in the 'buy/sell-box' for 24 hours (maybe 48?), and then they expire
That's it, nothing else. No item-pricing, no GE-page on the frontpage, no nothing. Simply the very basics.
This would give the players the convenience they wish for, while SEVERELY limiting the amount of work that has to be done to successfully implement this.
If this project lies within your power, I would heavily recommend to poll this to see if enough players wish for the wannabe-GE's existence.
tldr: simplified GE, as 1 npc where you can put in your own offers (with no tracking of item-values).
what do you guys think?
