The last thing OSRS needs is a G.E. Back in the day we didn't have the option to vote on updates, but when Jagex implemented the G.E everyone was happy it was apart of the game. As the months and years went by though however, many of us realized that the G.E took something away from us. Getting items fast is great and all, but player trade communication was completely gone.

I love the way we trade now when we have sites like zyb. to find sellers and buyers easily. I think however that what zyb. offers should be in the game itself. Maybe we could have a new tab under the quests icon like they did with mini game chat rooms only the star logo is orange. It provides 3 options upon clicking it: "Buying items?", "Selling items?" and "My offers".

When you click "Buying items?", it will take you to a search bar where you type the name of the item you want to buy and it will have like a drop list when you type in certain letters like "raw s-" you would get raw swordfish and raw shark in the drop list. After clicking the item you want to buy, you will get a list of players, their world, the price of the item, and its quantity. When you click on the players you will get a message tab to send them a message to meet up somewhere. If there are no offers, you will have a price and quantity tab to put your buy offer in.

When you click "Selling items?", it will pop up and box that has under it "Click item to sell" you will use your inventory of course and after clicking it you will get a "Quantity to sell" tab pop up over your chat bar. You can only insert a number up to the quantity you have in your inventory. Then click a tab labeled "Put item in Market" and your item will be in the market.

When you click "My offers", you will be brought to a screen where it shows your offers which can be toggled.

If you ever log off your offers will disappear from the market.

Thanks! :)

Hey Jagex!

Just like to point out that the poll is obviously very generalized. I'm sure you know this. I'm 100% sure there will be a follow up poll regarding what will actually be implemented.

But just in case you guys weren't already aware- myself and a whole host of other high level players will not stand for anything similar to a grand exchange.

This is my second time playing the game. I can drop it in a heart beat. I LOVE what you guys have done so far, and the trading is not perfect, but please stay away from fully automated systems like the grand exchange was. It'll ruin the experience for me.

Thanks,

Soar

I just added a suggestion for Multiple pickpocketing and Fishing just like it is in the live game, I don't think this would hurt anyone really. Especially not hurting anyone if it only gives you more loot/fish and no extra experience. (Agility experience would be nice though)

My personal opinion on this is that it would make agility a lot more interesting and worthwhile.

I honestly like the idea of the original G.E.

It gives players a near accurate depiction of the market trends and item values without being forced to trust a third party community (zy). It would counter merch bots, which seems to be a huge priority for the Oldschool community. But what I think those who are against it fail to see, is though it may not be perfect, it's a proven successful method of alternate trading; otherwise it wouldn't have lasted for nearly 7 years in the other version of the game.

You should be able to see what you have unlocked or what requirements you have reached after the "click here to continue" pop-up. The skill that was leveled up should flash as it does in RS3, click on it and see what you have unlocked! It's really a one time thing when you get it and it's very disappointing when you miss it due to interruption while in combat or a simple click on the screen.

Upgrade the Dream spell so that it restores run energy 2-3x as fast. This would be a much better alternative to resting.

*It requires runes to use (2 astrals, 1 cosmic, 5 body), and therefore is not free
*Requires a person to be stationary; less efficient than using energy potions
*Has quest requirements (Dream Mentor)
*Would revive a dead spell
*Complements the Lunar spellbook as primarily a skilling spellbook
*Could be implemented as a mini-game reward

My little idea

Zaros shortbow (link to the picture at the end)
level to use: 80
dropped by: Dark giant, location: Under brimhaven dungeon
special attack: single shot hit, chance to hit 45% more than normal hit,
uses 55% of special attack bar
Ammunation: up to rune

Zaros shortbow drop rate: 1/4000.

Dark giant would be same as camping metal dragons
has half more hp and little lower defensive than iron dragons

Can be killed only with RANGED

Reqs to get to Dark giants: 35 agility, 70 ranged.
light source is needed at the dark giant cave.

Can be killed from safe spot


Well there is something to think about. more activity for rangers.
plus a chance to get yourself a nice bow.
