Not even exploring the idea of an Auction House? I would have thought that would be an efficient way of handling trading. Have an Auto Buy price, and a starting bid price, set an amount of time for the auction and have at it. Could be combined with Automatic Trading so that when you win the offer it goes into your bank.

I guess people, myself included, did like the the simplicity of the Grand Exchange but at this point I will be happy with any solution.

If you want the GE because "merchanters are bad" or something to that extent, as someone who has made over 400m from merchanting, I am telling you, I can make much much more through the GE than I ever could with trading currently.

I think that we should keep the trading posts as they are, but by adding:
-automatic trading
-buy offers
-average prices

Osrs shouldn't have the same looking GE--But we do need automatic trading for sure! It is such a hassle to find people / wait for people / negotiate with people.

You guys should poll ALL of these options and see what is most favorable.

Yes to:
-open the Trade screens with someone who's in any bank on your world, including the extra areas like west Varrock and Falador Park, so you wouldn't have to meet up in person.

-We could let players search the lists of offers without being in a bank; there's no need to restrict where you can read it

-With a little game engine work, we could make the Trading Post de-list offers from people who can't be contacted for those reasons

-One of the features we were planning to poll for the Friends panel is a 'Join' option, so you could hop to your friend's world (ESPECIALLY THIS SO WE CAN ALL HAVE QUICK HOP AND NOT JUST 3RD PARTY CLIENT USERS)

No to:
-Turn it into the Grand Exchange
-Automatic trading
-offline trading

Meh to:
-Info tracking
-Posting 'Buy' offers 'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'
