Hello jagex, my name is Jerrid, I've come to think of a few great ideas to add to the game, content wise, here are my idea.
Instead of a Grand Exchange, lets look for an alternative, the grand exchange currently puts a set price on all items depending on how often it's bought and this then causes the economy to slightly crash and upset players with item prices, I propose something called an "Auction House" where players can buy and sell item(s) by placing a starting bid on the items auction as well as having the option to set a 'Buy now' price so players can buy an item without having to try to out-bid other players, let me explain how the mechanics of this might work.
The player would have to choose a starting bid and/or a buy now price, then the player would then have to set a time duration for the item(s) auction (eg: 3 hrs, 6 hrs, 12 hrs).
Depending on how much the starting bid and/or buy now for the item(s) as well as the duration of the auction for such item(s) will decide how much of a cash deposit the player will have to pay to enter the item into the auction house.
if the item(s) sells then the player receives the money for the sale of the item but does not get the deposit back.
If the item does not sell then the player will be refunded their deposit and item.
if the player cancels the item(s) auction, the player receives the item back but not their deposit, any bidders will be refunded for the auction cancellation.
I would suggest for auction deposits that the price not be too high or too low, so lets say for example a 3 hr auction has a base 5% deposit, then depending on how much the item(s) starting bid/buy now price will add more percentage to the deposit.
My goal with this idea is to see something added to the game to allow players to buy and sell items easier without having a set price for them, thus keeping the item market stable, this might prevent future item scams as well or at least slow them down.
Yours truely. OSRS Mr Pked.
