As with all updates, it seems like there are advantages and disadvantages to this one. Judging by the amount of posts on this thread, this is a very controversial proposal.

For me personally, I do not wish to see the full Grand Exchange/automated trading, simply because it will make the game substantially easier. Part of what attracts me to Old School RuneScape is the challenge it presents. Bringing in the Grand Exchange will remove that challenge.

As such, I'll be voting no to any form of automated and offline trading. I do like the idea of sending trade requests through the trade post, though. That seems like a nice compromise.

! I dont think we need a grand exchange in osrs !

I will go through about the options you provided:

Trade request trough the post.
This is really cool, i would love to have this option, it's really inconvinient to walk all the way to NMZ to buy something from a player, when you are not 45 or 52 magic, and found their post at the varrock bank. Definitely a +1 from me

Automatic trading
This is also a good feature, I would love to have my items bought from my previous slayer task, when i am already halfway trough the next one :) +1 here too

Buy offer
I dont think a buy offer is needed. 90%of the community uses Zybez if they really want to put their buy offer somewhere, and also if you can't find something in the trading post, you can always try w1 or just wait and try again. I dont think buy offers would help a lot at all, i would never search for people's buy offer if i want to sell my wares. Also as you said they will span considerable trolling opporunity for the "funny" ppl.

Viewing the Trading Post from elsewhere
This is a nice little feature, i can easily imagine a button somewhere opening this so i can check for better offers every 5 minutes on my desired items.

Don't list offers from people with Private off
THIS!!! We need this. There is no debate here at all in my head. Had countless sellers whom i couldnt contact, even tough they had good offers, but had their privs off, and werent in a cc either.

Quick-hop
Also very cool, would love to have this implemented, adds more to the convinience factor.

Info tracking
I don't think this is needed. Would hurt current merching really hard, this was one of the most hated things about grand exchange in my opinion. At least for me it runied merchanting experience. I mean if i am the only one selling zamorak page 4 why should i sell it for 700k when i can sell it for 1m if someone is desperate enough to buy it. Info tracking would make it hard to sell items above average rates.

These are my opinons

Turn this into the GE!. I'm getting sick of spending few hours just to sell some items. OSRS economy is corrupted anyway we need united prices to outperform merchers. At the current state of OSRS market its almost impossible to sell something for normal price.

I will be voting for full ge. However, it should have no trading whilst offline.

Honestly why does Jagex even think about playing around with big, controversial topics like G.E. in the first place? People won't quit if they don't get G.E, but the opposite cannot be said for if it does enter the game.

G.E. primarily benefits the lazy and selfish who can't see past their benefit from its implementation and look at the big picture of what it will actually do to the community, similar to how splashing was seen not too long ago.


There are a lot of people not playing right now because there isn't a Grand Exchange. It's simple, convenient and fast. Just let it come so this game can be more fun already.
