A version of the G.E. and more things to do in the wildy would be awesome for the game and community. Even though a lot of 07/osrs players are against an idea of something similar to the Grand Exchange it would benefit us more than it would do harm. There are so many merch bots in world 1, and scammers. Finding the 'little' items in world 1 is near impossible.

Mining should be updated to gain ore/exp easier. The maximum mining exp per hour is lower than most skills. Getting the ores for 99 smithing is the most time consuming gathering skill of them all.

So the two things i think that should be added to make it easier could be the a place like the living rock caverns and a dragon pickaxe.

lol so basically add a non afkable Living rock cavern?? that would actually reduce xp rates sounds like a plan......

Couple of things I miss:
1. The old quest filter option, where you could hide the quests you did not meet the requirements on.
2. I have read other things on this, but I also miss the old "notes" tab. It was great to keep some sort of track in game.
3. The HUD around the minimap, along with the "quick click" option.
4. Tabbed banking. I have seen this mentioned more and more recently.

And more on the support side I suppose....I would prefer if I had some sort of optional discount deal, to not pay for EOC in order to play OSRS...I would just as soon have that account deleted...or left F2P.

Thanks for hearing me (err reading rather) out. :)

In my personal opinion ...

Perhaps the wilderness is fine the way it is right now in 2007 ... or rather the way it has always been: simple. If this were to be changed in some way, I hope it would be minor.

Group skilling activities? Sure, why not? We already have the blast furnace as a conglomerate of a bunch of skills, so why not parrot off that for the future?

Trading definitely needs the biggest update in this game. I loved the GE when it came out. It made trading easy and simple. All the miscellaneous drops from slayer and other activities could actually be turned into extra money. Just put it in the GE, let it sit, and someone would eventually buy it - no extra work on your part and no spamming for hours in world 1(2) and then finally getting a trade offer only to realize that the price wasn't right and you were back to square one. I would love to see the GE back in the game, but unfortunately I know a lot of people wouldn't and would quit if it were implemented. Why would you want to make things more difficult?

Regardless of what happens though, could we have bank tabs and possibly resting back? Bank tabs would be a very easy implementation, and rest wouldn't be difficult either.

Good stuff.

Corp Beast pls, before people freak out. possibly make the shields not as effective so that the "mega rich" wont be extremely OP, but not worse than a DFS. As for implementing corp, obviously Summer's End is a requirement, but I'm sure with the over the top work that the old school team has shown to us it can be pulled off without the quest (or Summoning). Zammy Hasta OP, great work Jagex (:

Oh and possibly add in an adventure log photographer in Old School so we can rock our old school gear in the forum picture. I think asking for an adventure's log would be too much work, I'm not sure though you guys are the experts.

LOVE IT! I am so glad to hear that a rendition of the G.E. will be coming back. The sooner the better. I understand why others would not want the G.E for inflation purposes, but being able to buy and sell within minutes instead of listening to bots and waiting for hours to me outweighs what I might have to pay for an item. When I finally had the skills, I made enough money to get near 100m and finally feel like I was getting to be among the elite. Even though I honestly suck at a lot of pvm events (lol)

Anyways, this update is awesome.
