I don't think old-school is ready for a trade system. Zyb works good enough for now and if you were to make a trade system where you didn't have to meet up and physically trade the other person it would take away a valuable aspect of the game. Having to interract with other players is one thing that makes timescale unique. Plus a G.E or trade system will make the game fifilledith ppl who buy out the market and manipulate it causing skills to lose value and the game to gain dead content. Causing players to meet to trade and take time to trade keeps prices (supply and demand) in balance. Just my opinion.

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.

you're all getting mad at them making the trading post like this, although we voted on it to be like this, the majority of people did not want a "grand exchange" we wanted a different form of zybez, and therefore this is what will be in-game and there will be future updates to i'm sure, based on our opinions, and will be voted on, so quit complaining.... it doesn't help any and enjoy =)

Boo! Please Re-Poll the trading post, Just give it GE capabilities. Whats the point in doing something zybez is already used for. That you pretty much support and have to verify your RS account in order to use.

Everything else I'm excited for though.

I think the trading post sounds horrible, I would much rather that idea be scrapped & see the Grand Exchange in Old School. At first I was fully against the Grand Exchange, but now I can see where it's positives outweigh the negatives, and I would take that any day over the current trading system(off site), or over the Trading Post.

I'm a little unsure how I feel about seeing a Wilderness diary, but I suppose once we get into the details maybe I will change my mind about it. I'd love to see Elite Diaries, and not a fan of "replaying" diaries for top tier experience daily. :(

The new continent has a lot of potential, hopefully people don't go overboard with silly idea's, keep it simple & the style we all loved playing for many years and I think the update will succeed. However if you start making game changing updatings that come with it, I see it as a disaster waiting to happen.

The future updates shall be interesting.

I really hope that you can't just get into Zeah without doing anything personally I don't want it to take too much away from the starting places, Lumbridge Varrock etc.
I wouldn't want it to be like rs3 where they ditched Lumbridge for Burthorpe.
Maybe make the underground pass quest a minimum requirement?

The tasks will NOT give experience. It says they're not experience based, anyway.

Also, why scrap an idea the community has voted on already? The grand exchange is not needed in old school. It wasn't even in the main game until almost 7 years after it started. Old school isn't even 2 years in and people want to be spoiled and leave any bit of nostalgia behind.
