Yes, as you say, it seems like everybody wants this GE back, but those are people who didn't know Runescape before the Grand Exchange. You're tired about running after quests items ? Why are u playing such a game then ?! It's a entire part of them game, just like trading and merchanting. Grand Exchange is ruining this part of a game. Runescape isn't a game you have to RUSH, but take your time and appreciate every single thing of it. If you are bored because you think you're losing time in your quests, then why do Quests still exists ? Runescape 2007, Old school Runescape, OSRS, what are these names for if you want to bring back all the newest thing and not playing it AS IT WAS IN 2007 . I really don't understand and it really frustates me ...

We can improve this game by a hundred ways, but GE is the worst way to take trust me..

I played before GE, back then though we were all much younger and our perspective of the game was way different. The GE would probably be the best update to this game yet, take it from someone with 2000+ total and has put endless hours into this game.

Ok, you're entitled to your opinion. There are those that want the GE, and there are those that do not want the GE. Those who do not want the GE commonly bring up the viewpoint that "having the GE makes the game less fun"

Should the GE come out, I don't see anybody forcing you to use it :)

Just because you don't want it doesn't mean you have to ruin it for everyone else... If you don't like it, and you want the "full quest experience" as you say, then play it how you want - without interfering with how somebody else wants to play. Unlike something like PvP, quests are individual - one person completing a quest before you doesn't affect your gameplay.

I have to admit you're totally right on this. But if the GE comes back, you and I know very well that we all have to use it if we want to be up to date. And by talking about the quests, i was just answering at the words of Confector. And this is not even the reason why I don't want GE back. I just think that if we want the game to paste with its name "Oldschool", the Grand Exchange has nothing to do in it. And the biggest problem of the GE is that it will ruin the actual economy the players have put in place in the game. The GE will control the prices and the economy, and merchers will die like they died years ago. I just think this is sad. Because there will be less interaction between the players. I just remember when everything was happening in the Falador Park, like 1500 players standing in it to buy and sell items. That was the beautiful side of the game. And GE will make it diseappear again ... That's my real opinion. And even though you guys have good arguments, it will never change. Because the birth of the GE would mean OSRS is not "Old school" anymore and then we'll just call it "Runescape".

Wouldn't you consider this game oldschool compared to rs3?

The nostalgia has worn off for the players, I know it's sad, we want to stay young and preserve the past because the concept of time is depressing, but we have to look at making this game more enjoyable for players, trading is currently too strenuous and an off-putting factor for this game.

I totally agree Brutal. Good luck getting any new players to stay without a G.E. They will be bored fairly quickly. G.e is a must if we want old school to live on. Those pre-G.e nostalgia seekers should stick to iron man.

I disagree. GEX will ruin the game, why did we bring back the Oldschool? To make it into RS3 again? Merchers will destroy everything and botters will be more because now it will be easy to sell their profit. Why dont you understand. Current trading is not perfect, that is true, but by adding the friend hop method it will be!!! For the holidays i did notice botting marks on the economy already.. We dont need F2P just as we dont need GEX.

The G.E./automatic trading would be a terrible update for Old School Runescape.

This game is called Old School RS it should not try to copy RS3. Please do not make the same mistake that was made back in 2007. The GE turned RS into a game focused on merchanting and gaining money. It would take the social aspect out of trading and allow players to gain a lot of money incredibly fast. The rate at which people would be able to gain money off of trading would greatly increase and be unbalanced compared to all other methods of gaining money. Automatic trading is not meant for every game and this is one of them.

Right now the Trading Post is a good addition, it's a compromise. I'd personally prefer to have a bare bones trading system with no assistance from the developers in which I must adventure out in the world to find my required items for monster slaying or questing. However, I understand that not everyone shares my opinion and this Trading Post truly is the best of both worlds. Please do not give into to one side and instead keep this compromise. It's not a perfect solution for solely my side or the other side of the argument but its the best solution to satisfy both. Keep the Trading Post the way it is, it's a compromise that keeps some level of human interaction which is kind of the point of an MMO.


Atleast somebody knows what hes sayin :D
since merching will be most profitable, we will see merc* clans born again.. Wooho thats why we brought OSRS, right? :D Sarcasm..

Nostalgia is looking back in reflection on something long passed. Old-school is doing something the right way, not just the easy way. Your argument is standing on it's head; players get bored when things are easier, not the other way round.

Iron man offers the challenge of having no benefits from other players. RS3 offers easy access to any item you could possibly want to buy to make your challenges easier. Only old-school offers the game in it's version where you actually rely on other players to trade items. If you want the GE it's because you are wearing nostalgia goggles; it's the rest of us that want to "just enjoy playing the game". It's fine for the tp to help facilitate, or another screen mode to accommodate, but it's not fine to take away the interaction again. I'd sooner see permanent general store stocks than the GE for the junk items people keep complaining about don't need any special treatment.
