IF you can trade through the trading post, you will have to encounter a small fee. In many games there's always a fee for trying to sell an item, but perhaps if you're buying there wouldn't be a fee. (or let's say an item under 50k or something)

Cons : Some may not use the trading post because of any fees. This could create problems for somebody trying to just post offers but not trade directly through the trading post.
Pros :
::You may still trade regularly via getting information off of the post.
::Money sink slowly but surely.
::You may choose convenience over functionality so it's a win win situation for anybody who wants it and who doesn't.

A small fee would be something like an Armadyl Godsword and there's a 2%-5% charge when using the trading post. (2%-5% off of the ALCH value, not street value) (some items may not be effected such as the berserker ring because of its low (6k) alch value (300gp fee)

If the item is successfully sold then the 15k-(37.2k) (2%-5% alch value of Armadyl Godsword) is deducted however if a player would like to take the item back, or the offer failed then the money is returned to your inventory.

Perhaps an item dropped by a monster could give you a "free pass" to the trading post & let you sell/buy offers for free for one voucher ticket.

Will the snake boss be male or female? Will have an impact when choosing a name.

We've not discussed this so I'd imagine it is down to your preference. Perhaps the name will end up being the decider.

Very important question about the trading post


Do you have to have the item(s) in your inventory to make a post?


Thanks

Yes, the items will be stored in the trading post when you have an offer running.

Are multiple entries allowed for the boss name contest?

Absolutely.

Regarding the comments about trading through the trading post : we polled the features of the trading post and trading through the trading post failed. Mod Ash developed the trading post to match what the community voted for. Once it has been released we will be looking at feedback from the community and seeing where to go from there. @JagexRonan

The trading post is pretty much ingame Zybez; useless. The fact that you actually have to walk up to the post to trade items makes it less effective than **bez. People will continue to use Zybez because you don't waste any time posting offers on there and the same goes for buying items. Make it so you can trade through the post without having to meet up with the person to make it worth putting in to the game.

- Rank 18 overall in OSRS

There are advantages to trading Post, also ppl may use both anyhow Are they any different then [Z]ybes? No [**ybes has better features aswell if this is what their going to implement they should cut their loses now.

Yes they are different.

Wrong.

The trading post as how Mod Ash made it is thesame system as **bez when **bez created their system (how it was first). Later on they updated it with the info part (info part is the most inportant one) because this is oldschool.

Most of the players are between 16 and 25. We don't want to add people all the time to buy our items , all we need to know is where to go (and if there is a minimum to buy or not).

I state again for some reason people skip over this.

Trading post will be dead content and will be hardly used after a week since its' basically [Z]ybes in-game but having to constantly check your offers is tedious so people will use zybes over it after the euphoria runs out. We need the G.E. and to me this seems half buttocks. This is not a diss at the mods, since they can only do so much. I just wished they put the G.E. with out a poll just like they got rid of splashing since its a crucial implementation the game needs to thrive.

Then I will reply the same thing again as well..

The Grand Exchange won't happen, because the guide price and offline trading failed and won't be repolled. Trading through the system will probably get repolled, so that's as much as you might get.

Remember, that was not a poll, it was a survey about integrity problems. A Grand Exchange is not related to that. u seem to not want to reply to what i said earlier countering your statement.

You did not counter my statement, but ok. go to past pages and you will see i did

Do you guys not remember how many people quit when the G.E. Came out and ruined P2P trading? All of you who want a "G.E like trading post "should stick to playing Rs3 and stop trying to take OSRS down the same path that ruined it to begin with. Automatic trading or a G.E will never pass a poll because over half of the OSRS community would quit the game guaranteed. The only people left would be those who still play rs3 and have no appreciation for the challenge/uniqueness that is OSRS and want to slowly add a G.e./ summoning/ d claws and ruin RS all over again. Leave automatic trading out of OSRS PLEASE. You will kill the community guarenteed. Thats a mighty assumption their my friend tell me why is the G.E. so wrong and how will it kill p2p trading?

So basically you guys want to try and implement a G.E. with the face of trading post to pass it later on. Kinda sneaky and pointless i would say G.E. just need to be put into the game with out the poll just like you did splashing.
