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.

I believe such mechanism was polled. If we wanted a trading solution added that did the trades for you so that you didn't have to meet up in game. This poll failed.

However, after people get used to the trading post and how it works, it will be "re-polled" to see if there's a bigger interest for such a mechanism this time around.

The reason for this being that before the trading post is introduced, peoples idea of an automated process for finishing trades was the Grand Exchange - and there's generally not a lot of support for that.

Hope this helps.

Doesn't matter at all if the people who voted for a trading solution didn't want direct trading through the trading post. It's still useless to the game and a waste of dev time. I'd like to see a poll a couple weeks after the post has been out asking the following questions:
- Do you use the trading post for buying/selling items?
- Has it been a help for you as a player or has it brought any good to the game in general or was it not necessary to develop and release the trading post?

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.

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. "When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself... first, as a dark demon. As a demon, it uses its power to rain death upon the land, and then it dies. However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns, this time, as a great hero"

I like the way the month ahead looks. I'd like the "trading post" if it was more of a trading post and not the classified adds. I'm not much for tracking people down. Adding them to find out when and where then unadding when the trade is finished. Would be way more simple to trade through the post.

Automated trading failed, so its just a board you can toss your trading offers (selling really) up on. We may get automated trading later but for now its just going to be as described in the trading blog based on what passed.
