oh god,how many times must it be said...... G.E. is not why the game slowly died you people really don't read much do you. loss of the wilderness is what dropped the amount of players we had!

and for the "interactions" with other players by trading is the most stupid thing i have ever heard,out of all the spamming and trading i see maybe 5% actually carry out a conversation the rest just want you to trade and then leave them alone.... ohhh so much interaction there

and for the osrs feel i did not vote for osrs for the nostalgia or the feel,i voted for it because it was the only version of rs that was before EOC. butt if you want to make everyone else suffer because your selfish and want nostalgia go ahead vote no,butt i will be voting yes because i do not have time to deal with scammers,spammers,and bots who just merch everything you buy/sell from them.

so with all of everyone's empty threats of quitting if G.E. passes shut up for you only make your self look stupid.

thank you jagex for the chance to vote for GRAND EXCHANGE. i'v loved the 11 years iv played this game and hope G.E. passes
love Z0O

Read through the first... 22 or so pages and got a bit frustrated. I know that if I persist on writing any in-depth comment I'll just any of this frustration spew so I'll just say: PLEASE, implement the G.E. into the game!

I don't really know what to say in order to increase "my credibility" (people have different perspectives or opinions, so if this was an ideal world: shouldn't every single person's opinion be as credible as the other's? Of course, this is not the case though for this reality we live in.), but ehm... I've played RS since around 2004, quit at around 2010-2011 for me to be able to focus on the last years of school in order for me to get into the certain trajectory of studies of which I desired, and then I got back when OSRS came out. (Played like once every 5-6 months during 2010 to the point where EoC came out. My history in OSRS (2013+, not 2007-x) has been quite extensive: played on four different accounts and my main one being this. My account has gone through different stages and communites; pure community -> zerker community -> main community, where I've loved skilling as well as combat etc.)
I loved the G.E. when it was implemented. I know I haven't mentioned any "facts" or arguments for why G.E. is beneficial, but then again I didn't really aim towards doing so. I just stated my opinion. I don't really know how the posts are at this page where this post will end up, hopefully it's not still filled with persistent aggravated close-minded/tunnel-sighted people saying the same arguments over and over again as if people can't see that it's the same people writing, just later on in the "discussion", and thinking that more posts equates to more people thinking what they think.. (I hope people don't actually alter their opinions, due to those other people's crap, to the point where a yes to the G.E. becomes a no. :l )

Sorry guys, this post was long and filled with lots of my own personal beliefs. Which is what I desired in the 1st place. Oh well.

You go to a gas station to fill up your car, right? That's interaction. On a fundamental level, not just conversation. But suppose somebody diverts all the gas trucks to one massive gas center in the middle of the city, and now you have to go there instead.
You try to keep visiting your local gas station but eventually find it empty.

The gas center in the middle of the city has all the gas, the trucks don't even stop at your gas station anymore. That's similar to how Wal-Mart got started irl*, and how the GE got started in RS2. Interaction with individuals died out, not because of any other update, and not merely interaction of the verbal kind.

*irl gas is consumed in travel. so the model technically wouldn't work for gas, without easy teleportation by consumers (which runescape happens to have plenty of).

I really enjoyed having the G.E. A lot of my time on runescape is spamming at a bank and I'm not a fan of the trade post. People are not using it enough. Bring the G.E. back so i can focus on training my stats!

I'm exposing the GE as a garbage dump for items. The oldschool game doesn't need such. We can hold onto our junk or find people to sell it to, or chuck it into a general store or similar, or drop it on the ground. This game is designed to consume junk, not have it linger for an infinite amount of time in a landfill until somebody digs it up.

Think about that.

It's not ignorance to want to keep some fundamental dynamic of the original game.


You do realize that someone buys this "junk" and its not just taken in.
