Please bring GE, but skip any "median" price showing, it will only allow for scams. Like say, some item suddenly drops in value but your built-in median price calculator lags behind, thus giving opportunity for scammers.

Pst, check some site dedicated for 2007 item trading, its a working model.. ;)

The only things that the trading post really needs in the form of an update is to hide anyone's offer who has pm on friends/off and to let you examine the offered item in the trade screen and for it to show you how much the person is selling it for (I don't know if anyone else has this problem but if I am buying multiple things I tend to forget the price someone is selling a stack for)

Full Grand Exchange please!!!!! I've been playing since 2006 (this account is only from 2008 though) and I loved the */*! I hate dealing with scammers nonstop when trying to trade and I don't have hours upon hours to sit in the bank and try selling my items. I love doing slayer and it's an absolute pain trying to sell the little items I get because it's so freakin tedious.

To all the neigh sayers out there,
if you're really so confident that automatic trading whilst offline is such a bad idea..
Why dont you tell that to all the other MMORPGS out there, that their trading system is crap, and than we'll see who's laughing.
Runescape is not different, and the main reason that jagex are 'forcing' different trading solution on us is because they know its a basic update that is very much needed.

Besides i bet they had a good long laugh back when GE was polled and failed, cause truth to be said, neigh sayers are the ignorant people in this discussion.

Automated trading in which other MMO's?
D3? - The skilling on this game can't be compared to RS. The Auction House is primarily used for trading high end combat items.
WoW? - The Auction House is serverbound and characters may only learn 2 professions. Because of this, the auction house is a must for smaller servers.
ESO? - The skilling on this game is great, like RS, and there is an auction house. The trading of raw materials is mainly done in Trading Guilds though.

There are probably many other MMO's out there with automated trading (these are the only ones I played with automated trading), but that doesn't mean every other game needs to follow. The same counts with microtransactions. Wings, flaming bows, glowing heads....wtf??

Runescape is different. It has sooo many different noncombat skills. These were never intended to be mastered in one big cluster****. Truth is in RS3, there are very few reasons to train many skills, other than meeting quest requirements.

In RS07, you would have higher skilling levels to make armour/weapons/arrows for yourself and friends. It's a conveniency so you wouldn't have to put in the effort to go find someone to buy it from. Having a GE makes this pointless. Looted chainmails and med helms will be overlooked, as everyone has simple and cheap access to the full helms and platebodies.

I wish the trade post wouldn't have been implemented. I guess fixing it with buying offers and removing the offers of "offline" players is something I can live with.

With a GE though, idk, Oldschool will definately lose it's sandbox feel.

Personally, I'm really tired of the begging to make things easier. The reason Jagex did EoC was because there were so many players saying that there was little 'End Game'. Making it easier to get there is not a good thing. Unless you want history to repeat itself.

I remember close to 400k players online on Friday nights, 300k+ was normal just before the creator of the game sold it to a corporation. Before it was sold there were almost no updates of any kind for over six months. Players were screaming for bug fixes.

G.E. maybe what other MMOR**'s use but does that make a difference? G.E. is like internet shopping instead of local merchants, we can see what that is doing to our economy.

In my humble opinion, the game was more fun before the Home Tele, PMods and G.E.

You know what, up to now I didn't support G.E, automatic trading or anything. But now I'm sick and tired of trading in OSRS. All the trading post is mostly full of is scammers. People who put an offer on then remove it and change the item for something similar. Luckily I am aware of these scams and are not fooled. But new players and younger players are more vulnerable.

In short, I'm saying I fully support a full Grand Exchange. I just want to be able to buy the item I wish without having my time wasted.
