"New strategies evolved for making fast profits from the market, or for making the official guide prices trend upwards or downwards. It was also far more convenient for gold-farming bots to turn their botted items into fast cash."

Yes please bring back the ge i want to pay my hard earned gp to merchants! Oh and i would also like to sell my resources very cheep because i have to compete with bots. Lets just all man up rember that we play old school for a reason take the extra few seconds and sell the items in a social manner like the game was intended to be played.

An update of this scale being decided by a poll calls for especially careful consideration of how the poll gets conducted.

There is a VERY FORESEEABLE ISSUE with only running a single poll with 3+ options and I've yet to notice it being mentioned. If the poll ends in something like a 45/35/20% split and Jagex just goes ahead with the 45%, a good half of the community will be enraged without a doubt.

For the love of OSR, G.E. or no G.E., please let us have Jagex run polls for this until we've been given the chance to narrow it down to two options! Nothing short of adding bonds + EOC would have the ability to damage OSR and its community the way botching such a sensitive poll potentially could.

I was wondering if you could do buy offers by having the money taken like an item is now.

edit for new idea.

would it be possible to have a delay after you logged off, during which, your items was removed from view, but if there was a trade window open, it remained. If it was automatic trade, you wouldn't have to ok it. frankly my dear, I couldn't give a dam. never had a river to build one on.

First off, you already do sell and buy items from merchants, almost everyone standing in world 301 is one. Second, you already do compete with bots, they have been in 07 for a while now and they do sell their items low. Third, the main reason people wanted 07 was for combat, EoC destroyed the game, not the GE. Fourth, wow, it's so social trading a person, putting coins in a trade and saying thanks then walking away.

I've been playing runescape for over 10 years. I was never into merchanting, I liked playing the game through, training my stats, doing quests, and having fun. My friend showed me on the GE how to merchant, and I started doing it for a while...needless to say, I once made 14m in under 8 minutes. I've also made 30m+ in a day, while being offline the entire day, except maybe a few minutes. I was sad, but not surprised, to see so much merchanting going on when I started old school. So why make Old School just like runescape 3? The reason my merchanting only lasted a week or 2 was because
IT WASN'T FUN!
I was just clicking "buy" and "sell" over and over and waiting. So I went back to training skills, doing slayer, quests, and
ACTUALLY PLAYING THE GAME!
We play Old School because it's
NOT
like RS3, and now we're slowly going back to RS3? What happens when "2007scape" has been here for 7 years? Then it will be 2014scape, it will be the same as RS3 is now? Instead of making a 2007 version of runescape, you've simply made an alternate Runescape game that's just 7 years behind the other. Please, do not make a full Grand Exchange, and
DEFINITELY
do not add price averaging. Keep Old School Runescape
OLD SCHOOL!
Also, I would like to note that most people who are calling for no Grand Exchange are putting together thoughtful, intellectual, structured paragraphs with reason why it should not be brought back(even an option or on the table, in my opinion), while MOST of the people who want the Grand Exchange back are just posting "GE plz!" or "yes to GE" or whatever, with no reasoning. I would bet that the majority of them are merchants, and will probably use RS3 players to vote for the GE. That is all, thank you for reading. Please, we don't need any more level 3 players with 18B in the bank.

I would do anything to get the Grand Exchange. But please no the one they have in RS3 where it's 4 banks on the corners. We want the big bank in the middle. It's called the "GRAND Exchange" not the "4 x Mini Exchange".

Another reason why we need the Grand Exchange is because Brugsen Bursen needs a job ;)

I would loooove a Grand Exchange in old school rs. It makes things much more easier. How many people sell low level armour? It would help new players get started in the game. I understand many people like to find their items instead of buying them in the ge but if the ge would come to osrs, you could still go and find your items on your own. You are not forced to use the ge.

Ps. Sry if my English was off somewhere, it's not my first language :)
