First of all, I am not a native English speaker so don't get upset if my grammar isn't the best.

In my opinion the trading post will be useless because almost everyone knows Zybez.

My suggestion is to create a big trading centre where players can meet and interact. Just like the G.E. That place should be easy to reach for everyone. (Varrock?)


Now for the trading system I would suggest the following:
Create a system almost similar to the G.E. Let us post sell and buy offers, but as soon as you log out, the offer(s) would be deleted.

Trading with other players seems OK, but there are some huge disadvantages.
What if someone posts an offer and goes AFK-ing in NMZ or splashing chickens?
I would suggest to use the system of the G.E. You need to sell your items or receive them instant instead trading with players.

This part is purely optional and does not reflect on the trading post. It's just my suggestion.
Now, buying items without a guideline can be tricky and can cost you a lot of money. I believe that a guideline price can be created without affecting the economy too much.

Let me explain:
- Player A sells x iron bars for 250gp each. (Posts offer and completes it)
- Player B sells x iron bars for 230gp each. (Posts offer and completes it)
The guideline price would be 240gp per iron bar. This is the average price.
That system needs to calculate the average selling and buying price per item.

If more offers are completed, the guideline price would be more accurate and stable, thus saving you money. If a player logs out, the offer will be deleted and it would NOT affect the guideline price.

I hope that this is understandable for you people :)

it's understandable and pointless at the same time. just give us ge back, what mindless chickens voted not to have ge?

The current system is junk because it creates very unstable prices.
Check some current G.E. prices, and check some prices at Zybez.
We don't want an unstable system.

We all knew when it was polled that it would be an utterly pointless addition based on what had passed. Lot of you sound surprised by some of it. Read dev blogs and know what you are voting for. Jeeze.

+1 (except what was struck, as that is entirely a different opinion than mine)


On the Diaries, I hope they will be polled separately as many of us are not happy with a wilderness diary in order to get our qcapes trimmed.

Please don't make the mistake of adding the trading post without automatic selling/buying. That question didn't pass by 2%, 2%!!!!!!! I feel something that big should be repelled since I know the community defintitely wants it now. I will vote no if the trading post is introduced as an ingame zybez...thank you keep up the good work!

Trading system like the way you post it = pointless.
We should be able to buy stuff from it, if we cant there is no point of creating it.
Seller post, choose his price, wait for buyer
Buyer needs and item, looks for some offers, choose the best one, buy it from there, seller recieve his cash, everyone happy. This would be a good idea
