H Y D R O fh you are 100% right. If you are too lazy to trade the normal way then runescape isn't for you, and go play rs3. Stop trying to make the game easier your seriously taking it down the same path that ruined rs3.

GE had strong support when it was initially voted for, I personally recall around 70% in favor, and others have told me 73/74% in favor, I think it's something that should be looked at and polled again. The exp and time waste travelling from what you're doing (assuming you don't bank stand all day) is crazy, you get to what you're focusing on and get pmed to trade every 10 minutes. Now you could say just post offers while bank standing, or just don't post them at all, but that's just unneeded limitation, IMO.

RS

This is 2007scape. The GE didn't exist then and added a layer of difficulty to the game some player like myself enjoy. The trading post is pushing it and I would 100% NOT support a GE of any kind in OSRS.

Players like yourself are part of the reason why the main game has gone downhill. You are basically being a crybaby that trading takes too long. Guess what? Its an MMO and if time is an issue LEAVE.

The players who are protesting for the GE in OSRS with HD graphics and resizable windows are NOT true runescapers.


Such an ignorant post/opinion.

I've posted enough reasons around the forums that pretty much bypassing every game mechanic or item that everyone is complaining about and even our own developers are positive towards the idea lol? They want the game to survive longer than you do it's their career. Get real a GE isn't eoc and it was around the majority of rs without ever being removed for a reason.

Let's say I'm selling 10k of an item and I'll entertain buyers of 100 or more.

I'll post 100. When a player pm's me I respond with "my world, location, qty left"

The player meets and puts up their money and I put up the item from my stock I'm holding in my inventory. If they're buying the last 100 I have, only then will I put the 100 fom the trading post up thereby clearing my offer.

It's fast and efficient. It's well integrated into the game and into the current trading system if you use it correctly.

Con: 100% of buyers must pm me to find out basic information besides my world: location & qty left. With zybez 90% of buyers would just come.

The gains by having this in-game "almost" make up for the major con. But PLEASE consider adding a space for more information like **bez has... or this: a location field, and possibly a max quantity field (for ppl like me who use representative posts instead of bankstanding). This is SOO important because without it you have zybez looking more attractive to some and others pushing harder for the actual GE. We gotta give this a chance to work as well as it can instead of seeming to sabatage it.

GE came about after they removed free trade so it definitely was not around for the "majority" of RS like you so ignorantly claim. We voted to bring back 2007 RS, not slowly change into RS3. One of the best things about RS was the free trade system, adding automatic trading/ GE is just blatant laziness, literally takes 2 minutes to teleport, trade, then teleport back. Big deal. Quit crying about having to trade players normally when that is how it always was.

They just need to update the trading post to include player location/max quantity field and then it will be perfectly usable. Also, if you read any of the J Mod posts, they clearly do not think the GE belongs in OSRS nor do they believe it will pass. I guarentee from reading the forums more than 50% of players DO NOT want the GE/auto trade in the game. I just want them to poll it so it can get shut down a second time and people can just move on.

Why should quests, production skills, and combat be needlessly inconvenient? A lack of automatic trading is a needless inconvenience, and the only reason we don't have it is because some players cling to an archaic notion that inconvenient game mechanics should be ubiquitous in OSRS.

It is worth noting that the GE was introduced in 2007.

You also can't have done much trading with that 1308 total, I don't think you are experienced enough to offer credible counter arguments to a ge-like system.

I've been playing RS 3, for almost a year and i like it. It's a chance to start the game over. All your skill are at lvl 1 and no quest are done. You use all your knowledge from RS 2, learning from all your mistakes and rebuild your skills and quests. When i started playing RS3 i really missed the grand exchange. So i went to world 301 to buy the things i needed. that was a difficult task due to all the bots auto typing "price check", "exchange rs2 gold for rs3" etc etc etc. "God i hope jagex gets rid of them". those auto typing bots make it hard to buy or sell stuff in world 301. the trading post has made buying and selling stuff easier. however, it's not the grand exchange. i hope jagex can do tweaking to enable people to buy and sell stuff, and in quantities that also renders a price like the grand exchange without contacting the person selling. atleast give it that grand exchange feel. the trading post isn't bad. in fact i'm glad we have it. it does get us away from the auto typing bots.

Lol at people saying "OMG GE!" It's not like a GE it's actually better

How is this better than GE?

Exactly, whats the point of this update if we still need waste time to get our supplies?

If we had G.E. you can buy + sell "INSTANT" O_o

I wouldn't get hung up on having "Grand Exchange" the important part is the automatic buying /selling of items on and offline . From what I understand this will be repolled after the New Year. Just think if these features are added to the "Trading Post" we will have "GE" access in every bank across Runescape. Start rounding up support, we need 75% to win.


I hope you are right, this new trading system is really stupid.

I added some sellers because i need the stuff "now", and guess they arnt even online... another reason why we need a normal G.E.

Only lazy afk bank stand merchers would support this dumb update!

New update: bank pin on trading post ;)

We did consider that, but because you can move items straight from the TP into your trade window we would also need to PIN that too. That is a much bigger deal.

Mind you, next year we are planning to overhaul the poll system and account security in general so that will be the time to look at it in more detail.
