I find it really unfortunate that so much of the developers time is going into the trading post when all it will be is an in game and spruced up version of the RS forums.
There has been serious time put into this update that will do nothing that the forums don't already do, and the OSRS development team is too small to waste it's time on a useless update.
I sincerely hope the osrs community can understand the value that a TRUE trading solution could have, and later vote to expand the trading post to allow for automatic (non face to face) trades. This type of trading post would mirror an auction house used in other MMO's and would provide the perfect blend of OS (you can see players names, how many offers, competition etc) along with functionality (actually being able to buy and sell goods at a reasonable speed).
I am so sick of wasting my time bank-standing in order to get anything done in this game. I do not want exp buffs as in rs3, I enjoy osrs being difficult, but I would like the process of playing to be more intuitive then simply bank-standing with a damn auto-chat on and twiddling my thumbs. (don't get me wrong, I love the in game autochat). Bank-standing has absolutely ruined any production (non-resource gathering) skills for me (such as herblore and crafting) and now they are simply chores.
