Jagex havent you learn a lesson from eoc ?
why making the same mistakes over and over again ?
Zybez was a way better trading solution then this crap.

1) you Make G.E.
2) Zybez
3) not this crap

**-poll this update please

The Grand Exchange failed the poll and only trading through the system could pass a re-poll, so having a Grand Exchange is very unlikely.

"Now it's here, we'll presently be polling additional features as expansions to it. We'd be happy to offer big changes, such as expanding it into a fully-featured Grand Exchange like RS3 has, if it looks like there's enough support for that."

..."such as letting players send Trade requests through the post so you could use the old-school trade screens without having to meet up."...

This has got the be the best option without having a real grand exchange. Definitely going to support this idea over a fully automatic GE. So you still have to be online to trade. It eliminates the process of meeting up, which speeds up trading by a lot*

Agree with this ^

As it stands, I find this update to be an utterly useless addition to the game that is actually making trading more difficult than it was by splitting the community into two groups, those that use Zyb and those that use the trading post. Zybe has already provided EXACTLY what the Trading Post currently does, and introducing it as an option the way it is now is less than useless, as it splits the community and makes it more difficult to find people to trade with.

I'm not normally so outspoken, but this update really was a complete waste of Dev time IMO.

The Trading Post is useless. It is only a completely inferior version of Zybez, lacking many features such as:

• Suggested price.
• Price trend graph.
• Buy offers.
* Comments (for muted players).
• Usage from anywhere...

and so on. You're better off adding the Grand Exchange.

Unfortunately I am unable to predict the future so I couldn't say if it'll pass if repolled. I do think "GE" has been mentioned enough to warrant reevaluating. I genuinely hope with a repoll we can get automatic trades but I will not rage quit if it doesn't happen. I really do think this is a big enough deal that maybe the community should get more involved. Maybe opposing well-known Twitch streamers could take ideas/concerns from the community that support/oppose expansions to the "Trading Post" and have a broadcasted debate before it is repolled so the community can make a more informed decision on the matter.

I rarely log on the forums to comment but this is for a good cause.

I like the idea of the trading post, it'll take some time getting used to not using **bez, i'll still use it for now since the trading post doesn't offer any actual information about the item like high/avg/low prices etc(how was that overlooked?)

Muted players should be able to chat in game during trades IMO

now for what I logged on for

PLEASE DO NOT ADD/UPGRADE TO GRAND EXCHANGE

it makes it way to easy to manipulate prices

I do however like the ability to trade to anyone at the post wherever they are, but I believe that should come with a Total Level requirement or a gold fee price.established by the community
