Trading Post:

Remove step 1. We voted already to keep trading physically between two players. Begin with step 2, opening the interface.

Make step 3 optional. I want the trading post to function at least as well as zybez. Shooting ourselves in the foot making it too much like the GE. Being able to COMMUNICATE trade offers should be the trading post prime directive.

Add a space for additional information. Where is the trading taking place, etc. exactly this

Need to get this reigned in right away. Look, we voted in a poll we didn't make a wish to a leprechaun! So don't overwork it to the point of sabotage.

We didn't vote having to go to a GE- type location. We didn't vote being forced to use items from our inventory. We voted being able to post offers without leaving but still having to trade in the traditional way. At the very least we need the interface accessible from everywhere and a space we can freely type in. Without those two points there really is no point.

I'm looking forward to everything but the Trading Post. Might be good, so I'm going to give it a chance, but it seems to me that Old School has been getting too many "New School Twists" and Idk about that.

Trading Post is just another name for GE
in my opinion, and I'd hate to see the version of trading in Old School go away once again. I'm not looking forward to it, but like I said, I'll give it a chance .

they have repolled artisan 3 times, and i for one do not want it, what they should do for a new skill if they add one, is make sure that when we vote for a skill we would like to see in-game make sure it has the 75% in order to pass, or else none of them come in-game because obviously if the people that didn't get what they wanted would more than likely vote no, i liked the idea of the astronomy/geomancy, not really artisan as it was just skilling slayer it didn't sound appealing to me, since if u need to get told what to skill then well, maybe you should just not skill? or find a different way to skill and find ways you enjoy the skill personally :P

Trading post looks good but it doesn't solve the main issues...

1st.
You have to teleport to the location of the player... and they normally PM you just when you've arrived at the other end of the map to do a quest or a slay task or whatever... this trading posts is gonna be just as time wasting and teleport consuming as it is right now. I'm starting to hate varrock west bank with all my heart... must have teleported there over 10000 times... not really worth it but it's where everyone goes and expects you to go to trade (more proof that something like a Grand Exchange is needed)

2nd.
Most important aspect. Offline trading!
I play when I can due to work and I have to waste most of my time on RS trying to buy/sell stuff to make progress in the game. I'm not a no-lifing nerd that lives for this game so this is by far the most important issue for players like me that acctually live outside the game.

3rd.
Relying on PMs to trade while dozens of spamming bots announce cheap GP and other scamms since you have to have your Private on instead of having it on friends so you don't get spammed.

So basically JaGex has decided to solve the trading system with the same we have but more annoying since you have to teleport to a trading post instead of opening zibez... Well done! keep ruining the game like you always do...

Then players cuote stuff like "Trading Post is just another name for GE"... Trading posts is another lame excuse for trying to keep players happy by changing the way you find offers and post them instead of really doing something for the trading system.

O'white, I agree with much of what you're saying even if we're on opposite sides of the fence. I also have limited time when I can play and it's important to optimise that time with an efficient system. I use zybez to broadcast but I refuse to give in to the post -GE mindset of trading at varrock. I list the location I'm trading at and charge extra if ppl force me to go trade somewhere else. So they come to my house to buy tabs, to seers to buy bs, etc. If they don't like that they can pay higher prices. I'm online when I'm offering trades so I don't worry about competing players because I always follow through which gives my posts better value than many others.

We voted against offline trading, so we need the system to do a good job of supporting online trading. That means scrapping the idea of a GE you have to go to in order to post.

We also voted still having to meet up. That means we also need to be able to state additional information in our posts like we can with zybez or else the system won't help the situation at all and everything you've said will come true.

I think the reason people are so against the G.E. is not what it does or how it works, but what it was a part of when 1st released. The GE was released as part of jagex's totally botched attempt to kill botting and scamming by totally wiping out free trade, they made it so the GE was practically the only way to trade. I think people are just turned away because of bad memories from that fiasco

So, the proposed "Trading post" is a total waste, just a cut down, less functional, version of zybez price guide, and a lot of people don't want the very limited, blind, non negotiable system of the GE.
Here is my solution:


* Each part of this can/should be polled separately
* After each part of this proposal is polled individually the passing portions will be combined into a system and repolled as a whole in 1 question
* items will be instantly/automatically delivered upon finalization of sale
* buy and sell offers will be listed similarly to zybez
* you will be able to offer tiered pricing ex. bulk discounts on sell offers, and bulk price hikes on buy offers
*you will have the option of firm or negotiable pricing (if firm is chosen offer will work just like GE (take it or leave it)except possibility of tiered pricing, if negotiable buyers/sellers will be able to make counter offer which you will be immediately notified of and able to accept, decline, counter or discuss via pm
* you will be able to filter offers by price range, negotiability, tiered pricing etc.
* you will be able to sort by total price of quantity you are looking to buy factoring in tiered pricing
* items for sale will be surrendered upon posting of offer and returned when canceled
* offers will be posted through an interface opened by bankers at all banks

will you all stop bit*ching about something you haven't even used yet?

even though you are all demanding that jagex repoll question 4 of the trading poll, they can not. why? Because there is no way to reword it that doesn't sound exactly the same as it did the first time around, and Jagex themselves said they will not repoll the same question twice. So there will have to be another way to auto trade.

and it's simple: Cross world trading

on the trade post next to the ad, there will be a ''Trade'' Button. now who ever clicks on the trade button can be on any world in any location. The player that posted the ad would see in their trade menu

''So and so, has seen your ad on the trade post and wishes to trade you.''

the player that posted the ad then clicks it and the 2 can chat in the trade chat. The trade window would open automatically if the poster has the item(s) in their inventory, if they don't they will still be able to chat privately with out adding each other but the poster will have to click the trade link ''So and so, has seen your ad on the trade post and wishes to trade you.'' a second time to open it up.
