Can you make the trading post so you don't actually have to have the item to sell it?
This would really help me as a seller because craft my items on demand.

What if someone wants the item right away? What if they don't want to have to wait for you to craft X-amount of items? Judging by how lazy and impatient the oldschool community seems to be becoming I don't see this as an unreasonable question

Don't explicitly poll the GE. Poll the individual features and see what you get from that, oh wait you already did that and we got the trading post.

The trading post is great, sure a few things like expanding the area in castle wars will be useful and searching for items in your inventory will be nice. but a full GE already failed. RIP Forums :(
Finally we have signatures in the surprise forum update. I'm Lewis, I play Old School & I've been playing since 2005.

GE would be revolutionary, imagine how much the game can grow with it along with resizable screen. Some people probably don't realize and stick to their asinine reasons, but these updates are commercially viable. I only hope Rs3 can sustain and grow its playerbase, I want Jagex to thrive.

Sure the 'oldschool' label is a fun thing and was a hype for its initial announcement but times change, and that's the real sad part.

I support the idea of an GE but without automatic offline trading past 6h+
I hate it to waste my time trading while i could play :/
Its so hard to get all the items for questing, with GE it would be less time consuming and the game would make more fun. I think thats one reason why osrs has a little number of player. I just play osrs because i hate the EOC/Rs3 combat system even tho with legacy its EOC, **** that. But i love the GE, Player owend Ports and dungeoneering, so not everything on Rs3 sucks its just the combat.

G.E. highly encourages price manipulation, reintroducing "G.E. reset flips (aka timed daily price manipulation)", and merchanting. Merchers already make up a huge portion of the wealthy in runescape and they DON'T EVEN PLAY FOR EXP or levels! Why are we as a community wanting to get rid of our old trade system? To benefit merchants that simply bank stand and make GP off real players? To promote not ever needing to meet someone face to face for things? To give lazy people an easy dump to acquire GP instead of alching items or collecting it till they have bulk?

Have you never seen people manipulate zybez or w301? Are you that ignorant?
You say that the G.E will be heaven for merchers - you know who to blame for merchers? Look in a mirror.
Stop overpaying or selling underprice, you're the reason that merchers exist.
Also - I seriously doubt that people want a G.E just because they don't want to alch things. Think beyond that or you're being intentionally blind.

As for a post pointed directly at those at Jagex, unlikey last two which was pointed towards the players community; to you Mods I say this.

Yes to a trade mechanic in the trading post if they are in your world and if you can talk with them during the trade.

No do not make it available everywhere, just go to a bank as that's where banking/trading has always been done. It's not even hard ppl their are banks in also every town!

Absolutely no to offline trading as all this does is encourage merchanting.

Definitely yes to a buying offers section! It's 1/2 of the trading!

Also can you guys make it so I can post a selling offer without having to place the actual item inside of it? What if I'm selling 200 pray potions but I need a few of them really fast for something? Sure I could not offer every last item I'm selling but it would be a nice small quality of life thing to me. Don't see why the trading post has to hold your items just to post an offer (aside from troll offers but since this trading post doesn't figure out the average price of offers posted like zybez does who's really gonna troll just to troll; they normally do that to manipulate prices)

Personally I don't think it's even a needed component in our game any further than the raw version of the trading post we already have. It's nice to not have to go to an offsite to view offers or load a dead RS forum page, but 100% automated trading ruins the integrity of saving items up in bulk, gathering hard to get items (quest items, weapon poisons, tools, etc.)

I'd rather we had more updates like background quests for the snake boss, new ways to train skills in the zeah area unfamiliar to current methods in RS, background quests in zeah building up to new master quests, balancing these new updates, a new skill even may I go so far as to hope for PROGRESSION from OSRS.
Not wasting your time to fall back into RS3s hole with talk of G.E.
