100% support for the GE. And while I'm here, can people who are against the GE tell me what your problem is with it? And don't say merching. People are already merching in the game and make alot of cash already, the only problem is that you can merc* offline with the GE but that could be fixed, not a hard job to fix anyways.

With the GE we can get Lootshare and Coinshare who will prevent people from scamming others while pvming, why wouln't you want that in the game?

Wow, not even 2 years of OSRS and already the unpatient kids are crying for the Grand Exchange. Very oldschool-ish indeed*

G.E is actually very oldschool - more oldschool than things like the armadyl crossbow (released in 2012), the G.E was released in 2007 making it more oldschool than corp itself...

To all of those saying no to offline trading - just remember one thing. Wanna have your offers going while you're not on but you can't because offline trading didn't pass? Don't worry, get your full iron on and start splashing, your offers will stay up for an extra 6 hours!

I think it's a big decision and should only be made by players who actually care about the game/put time and effort into it.

People say this but they always include themselves in the list of who can do what. What if I told you there was a 2k+ total requirement to vote on the G.E meaning that you can't vote but I can? Or a 2277 total requirement that would mean neither of us could vote?

Everyone can use the G.E, why should people be stopped from voting?

to throw another wrench into the gears of this update with not being able to make any offers, there's a problem with people having there chats off when they've set an offer. I've come across many players who have there private chat off yet there offer to sell on the trading post still sits for hours at a time including not being in there own private clan chat. what's the points ? I'm sure many like myself would find some of this trades miss leading.

Something must be done about none available offers.

for example be removed from the trading post well private chat is off/not in private clan chat.

or... private chat is ON to people who private message from the trading post, but can still be set to "FRIENDS ONLY + TRADING POST" players sending there offers to buy from the trading post.

Mind you this is only a suggestion. but my goal here was to point out some flaws in the system.

Don't add the GE in or really any more "convenient" options. The only good ideas in there are the quick-hop option (for both the trading post and friends) and hiding offers from players with their private set off. There is a sort of human connection within the Old School community that makes the game more fun. Sure, things may not be as convenient in OSRS, but there is still an interactive community that makes the game more fun. If people are too lazy to personally contact other scapers and hop worlds for trades, then that's their problem. I personally like being able to meet up with other players and trade, and potentially start up a conversation like a friendly scaper :P That's how I've made some cool friends tbh :P I think that adding a GE or something along the lines of that could have a negative impact, socially. I think that player interaction is key when considering updates.

I hope all of that makes sense. Its all probably a lack for better words, I just hope I got my point across. Lol.

07 trading is mostly made up of going to a mercher, saying '*quantity* *item*', putting up the money and leaving. You're more likely to talk to people at the G.E where you will run into a lot of people that will bankstand with you while buying or selling items.

Stop simplifying his points. 07 trading is not "simply going up to a mercher". Sure there are players that merchant, but you are turning the points he was trying to get across into something completely different.

Full support of G.E. Gets rid of merc* bots, give you more time to do other stuff, Possible coin-share/loot-share added! ONLY GOOD THINGS COME FROM G.E
#G.E Movement! PS. for all those people saying it's becoming like RS3 you need to realize G.E was released in 2007 and have you ever heard of a kraken tentacle in 2007? We need updates to keep this game alive. #jointhem*evement
