Grand exchange style works by me! ;)

I've been around since 02', but I've never been against the GE, it made things so convenient to buy/sell things most efficiently without having to waste teleport runes, time, etc;

Get straight to the point, place your trade in Exchange, when someone sees and wants to buy, boom, rather you're off or on, money xfers to bank and a notice saying sold comes through, thanks for the trade player B! ;)

Definitely YES FOR THE GRAND EXCHANGE!!!!! Actually the only argument for people who don't want the ge is that it will not be social but someone can explain me what is social with meeting someone trading him saying ty and that's it....

I'm supporting the grand exchange! It's the best solution for the trade.
Actually we don't have time to waste for buying the items we need.
Sometimes you have to wait a few hours and i don't know what is good with that.

Jagex thank you for putting in the trading post, it really saves me from having to go thru tabs of zy83z pages, taking me hours just to trade some items. You know everyone here who is anti-change seems to claim that things like the ge would stop the human interaction and "chatting" in the bank. This is pure nonsense. Even before the trading post, the only interaction one gets is pming someone on another world saying can i buy this, and they say come vwest my world, you go to them, trade, and it is over. This is not real lively human interaction. This is robotic movements repeated over and over. We might as well get the ge to automatically do all of this for us. We wouldn't be missing out on anything amazing, nor would anything change other than the efficiency.

If you want to barter and stuff, you can do that whether there is ge or not. But for the vast majority of players who want to sell their stuff quickly and get on with their gameplay, it is frustrating not to have an efficient system. Player to player interaction can be fostered in other ways than through trade such as pvp/pvm. I think you should focus on creating more incentives to play the minigames more which are neglected by players (castle wars)

Jagex I appreciate how you take the effort to listen to the community.

Thank you

I like automatic trading like the grand exchange.

But the biggest flaw with the introduction of the GE, was the set item-prices.
If we could have the GE, without the set item-prices, that would be awesome.

So for a buy offer, you won't see an average price. Meaning you would have to go along the lines of the general buy/sell standards which can be checked in the trading posts currently. This does mean that the trading posts are to be kept, though.

For example with cooked lobsters. You enter a buy offer of 1k lobsters for 200 gp each, and if you have a match with a sell, the transaction completes. Just like the GE always works. Except you don't have any guide lines to base your price on.

Also, one (or a few) central trade hotspots would be better than a trading post in every imaginable bank across RS.

I'd prefer the original GE, I dont think prices will fluctuate nowdays because of zybez, at the begining I didn't want the Gran exchange (GE) in the game but now I am dying for it to come into the game

How can't people understand that prices are already being set up by you-know-what website. It would be the same with Grand Exchange, besides we wouldn't have to have an open browser to find items.

I do see Grand Exchange impacting player base negatively and I don't personally know whether I would or would not like to see it. But compared to all that Trade Outpost thing, Grand Exchange would be a much better option.
