I will be voting no on GE. But I would like to see automated trades through the exchange.

With the current system, it's just too easy for people to put in fake offers and never accept. With an automated system, this isn't going to happen, because a "too low" sell offer or a "too high" buy offer will get bought quickly and without any further actions needed.

The point being that if you have a sell offer in, it's in. You can cancel if you do it before anyone accepts. But you don't get to refuse after someone accepts your offer.

This will insure that all offers in the trading post are real offers.

And I definitely would like to be able to see historical data. But not some "average GE price" that's a weaksauce RS3 thing. I want to see the last 100 sales with prices and quantities and timestamps. Give me all the info.

Absolutely no GE. The trading through the trade post is the best option.

And LS/CS can be done in other ways according to Mod Ash, we don't have to have a GE for it.

Location - Add the GE to North-West Varrock

Features
Pause - Make it so if you log out all buy and sell offers are paused till you log back in.

Limitations - Maybe just 3 slots from which to trade.

Manual Trade - Make it so you could still search all offers and select what and how much of an item you want to buy or sell another player and allow you to make that trade instantly with any offers through the GE.

Auto Trade Delay - Make the trade instantly but people that choose to auto buy and sell have a 10 (or more) minuet delay on the offer being activated (unless they have their item selected by a manual trader) delay time will not pause on logout but all trades will till you log back in.

AFK stops - Make it so if you are in an area that you can not get random events all offers pause. (AFK NMZ or PVP Splashing)


All or just some of the features listed would make the GE better, giving people the option to quickly make trade with some effort or wait around and do something else in game. It stops people from just leaving the game to merch and any super afkers. Having to find and trade a person like we do now defeats the purpose, at this point we may as well just have the forums in game TBH.

School he said exactly what is happening now in the game, only people who play 16 hours a game actually sell items for the price it should be. Not everyone plays this game as much as you...


What are you even saying..? Can you speak proper english please..

???? What about what I wrote was not proper English? Don't reply you are one of the instigators voting against the Grand Exchange and as such are less than a dog dying of hunger in the streets to me.

"Don't reply you are one of the instigators voting against the Grand Exchange and as such are less than a dog dying of hunger in the streets to me."

...What the hell VII000lllENT?! That quote sure attests a lot to your character. It is very revealing about the type of person you are in real life. You view a dog who has the misfortune to be starving and homeless as the lowest of the low? Something is really messed up with your head.

I think that the options listed are a great start to the issue at hand, so props to Jagex. I personally was against the trading post to begin with, because I thought it would limit/eliminate in game interaction and merchanting in settings such as world 1. My thoughts were right and world 1 dwindles compared to what it used to be. I enjoyed merchanting as an unofficial skill of sorts and now its much more automated. Now that the trading post is in game, and presumably its here to stay, the best improvement that could be made would be to add a buy option. This is crucial to evening out markets and keeping a price from fluctuating too much. This also keeps the player to player interaction which is the point of an MMOR**. A small side note to add would be to definitely take down offers of players with their private chat off. It is the equivalent of being offline. The Grand Exchange was a large reason I stopped playing for many years before OSRS was brought back. Trading and merchanting are an underated and important part of the game that is eliminated with the GE. Understandably the majority should rule, but the present day Runescape has many of the feature that players in OSRS are asking for. Keep the games seperate. New content such as land masses, npc s, and quests are encouraged to be added because it adds value to the game without changing it.
