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.[/quote]

Yes I've seen people manipulate zybez. The full grand exchange allows players to do the exact same thing even easier.
Yes the grand exchange will be a heaven for merchers, they don't even have to be logged in now to make that gold to sell to RWT.
And on your last note yes I think people want it to sell off all those large quantity items that they have but aren't worth more than ~100k
Hell half my banks full of rune gear and TT rewards that just keep stacking up cuz to me it's not worth my time to try and sell it for 50k or w/e the small amounts are. So personally I just keep them as collections but yes, I do think most ppl are GP greedy and MUST sell anything worth over 2k but are to lazy to really do it. If you want your extra 10-20k per trimmed rune TT item then you should actually HAVE to take time to sell it. If not then alch it for the normal rune price.

So clueless...
Right now on **bez you can manip without any money (I solo manipped arcanes +7m without buying / selling 1 shield, it's really not too hard...).
Accusing merchers of being RWTers makes you look ignorant and like a bit of a tryhard - you just want to show your hate for people who make money from your impatience.
I really don't think that people want the G.E because they have too many rune clue items that they want an extra 10k for - once again proving how ignorant and self-centered you are, just because your bank is organised in a certain way, that doesn't mean that everyone else is like you.

Please do something like the GE, it's just more convenient. Half the people that post things are never online. There's no point in having the trading post people aren't online. I don't get to play much, and if I'm buying something it's because I need it right then and there. Also, I want to be able to do buying offers. I don't have time to be on the look out for people to get on or sometimes I want to sell something quick. That's the only thing I liked about RS3 before you ruined it with EOC, but that's beside the point. The GE is just the way to go, because it's fast and convenient. There will always be a problem with botters and gold farming no matter what you do, so that's not a good excuse to not bring about an equivalent of a GE.

The rune and treasure trail items was just an example most can relate to as most have slayed (one of the most popular skills on OSRS if you happens to ever leave a bank mate) but it could be used for any item in RS. Here ill shoot ya another quick one just to show you it's easy. Cactus spines, easy to get, practically free to grow, but cost roughly ~2k gp each. Why you may ask? Bulk**** kills bulk sales

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. Lol, people claim the same for every update they want.

I never leave the bank? Look at my stats and compare them to your own. You're higher level in most bankstand skills where as I'm higher level in most non bankstand skills (except cooking which I did while studying irl).
Cactus spines are comparable to seeds and herbs - they're in semi high - high demand but not many people have them in bulk.
Herbs, herb secondaries, seeds and all items like them will rise if a G.E comes - but as they rise they will become easier to obtain, so if you want to train skills it will become more expensive but you will spend less time waiting around to get what you need/want - work it out between the time saved and the money lost, you'll realise that it does become slightly more expensive but it saves a lot of effort.

It's a game, and particularly this one, if the majority of people wants to get a G.E-like then it will be a G.E-like option for the game, your arguments are NOT BAD, but you gotta understand that we all play a game where if the 75% passes, it doesn't matter if you had good or bad arguments, it will become content..

Enjoy the game as it is, me personally stopped playing OSRS like a year or so ago because it started to decay into what it is today, I just wanted to feel the nostalgia (and played for like 2-3 months and then left) but well..

Grand Exchange is not bad idea, people who takes advantage of the G.E is bad idea.

G.E -> Convenient, safe and 100% no-scam guaranteed.

Trading without any system at all -> Not convenient (looked how **bez had to see-through the sales and post some tips to avoid getting lured), NOT SAFE and there is a chance to be scammed.

In RS3 they thought it was a good idea to hire a guy who provide one of the MOST USED bots-system in the game, he made those bots introduce BILLIONS of BILLIONS of gold into the game creating the huge problem we have today even with the struggle the team is doing to prevent more of this from coming, there are bots in the game...
