GE destroys any hopes of skilling being profitable. It removes players from all over the map and concentrates them in one place. It allows wealthy people/groups to easily manipulate prices. It allows botters to easily sell items like seeds in bulk, which destroys prices. And it makes the game easier, which is a big part of why RS3 is so bad.
learn what manipulation is before u use it please.

Manipulation is when you lie about a price.

Uh, what lol? Go grab a dictionary and look up "manipulation" please. Price manipulating is controlling the price of an item to suit your needs. So, buying up all the whips in the game to jack up prices, and then selling them for a profit is an example (though not one that would necessarily happen).
buying out items would be "hoarding" you noob

The GE for me was arguably the best update in Runescape history. When it was first implemented it made the game so much more enjoyable for me and I'm sure many other people. The simplicity it brought to acquiring items allowed me to focus more on actual gameplay. Instead of wasting time trying to find 5 of one item from some random person, I was able to just put in an offer and get it within seconds. Please bring the full GE to Old School. The lack of GE in Old School is the one thing keeping me from playing it regularly. I fully support the GE in OSRS.

Manipulation is when you lie about a price.

Manipulation is the skillful handling, controlling or using of something or someone.
Please learn the definition of manipulation and how to be a better troll.

Do you have half a brain? Manipulation isn't lying ... with the cash stack I have in OSRS I can manipulate prices on items, there are clans that price manipulate. Manipulation =/= lying about a price.

Personally, I hanv't played around much with the new Trading Post, but have some feedback either way.

I am not a big fan of the "Turn it into the Grand Exchange" idea. This is more so because I feel there are better ways to go about trading that could potential remove some of the flaws of the grand exchange. I also dislike the idea of "Automatic trading"; it's not as bad as Grand Exchange but it would take a lot of the interactions out of trading.

I think my favorite idea is "Send Trade request through the post". This would make it a lot more convenient, while still needing world hops, and possibly cut down on lures as well. I do have a few concerns with this. Would the trade only be sent if both players were by a trading post? If not it could be abused to quickly transport items (e.g. send food to player at bosses). Also, would the trade say what it was for? If not, it may be confusing if you have multiple offers and get genetic trade requests. And lastly, would the item be stored in the trading post or would the player still be responsible for putting it in the trade? I kinda like idea of the item you're selling automatically being in the trade screen.

I am unsure on "Posting Buy offers" idea. It could just complicate the trading post and create more fake offers. But it could be helpful for when you need an item no one is selling.

I am neutral on the "Viewing the Trading Post from elsewhere" and "Don't list offers from people with Private off" ideas. Although I'd prefer the trading post be accessed through a button in one of the tabs, like options or logout, than an item or directly on gameframe.

And I love the idea for "Quick-hop". But instead of just limiting it to Friends, Chat, and Trades, it would be nice to see a World Hop menu. Maybe a new option on the logout screen that when clicked brings up a world list like from the login screen? I'd rather see that then work around methods using chats and trading post anyway.

I don't know alot of people can relate to the work to buy supplies for a 99 skill or xp goal or even just sell alot of stuff from ur bank. Also alot of good things will come from the GE such as less scamming, no more w1 buying items, coinshare/lootshare etc etc etc :)

Believe it or not, these words exist outside of Runescape. "Price manipulation" is a real thing. If you rely on Runescape's help pages for your definitions of terms that are widely used outside of the game, you have a problem. Practically speaking, price manipulation is exactly what I said it was.
